[Day 5, Late Morning] Writing Home (Expecting)

[Jiyo Sora]

"Oh, you know they say 'never meet your heroes'? Well they were wrong, this is truly amazing Sora-sama. Sparring with you over such lofty concepts as community, self-worth, the nature of intellect and even urination. Oh it's...it's remarkable."

"I was under the impression that I was more a villain among your family."

He appeared to be trying to keep a straight face.

[Anjing Xia]

"I was under the impression that I was more a villain among your family."

He appeared to be trying to keep a straight face.

"Oh no!...Well yes. But a villain with redeeming characteristics. Stubbornness is a virtue after all! Not many people survive an Anjing shouting match with their dignity intact. Personally I always thought you made some interesting points."
Whispering conspiratorially
"I also took out some of the meaner descriptions of you auntie told me, and I was right to do so, your nose isn't stupid at all."

He started to cackle.

Words, for the time being, appeared to have failed him.

"Hey" her eyes water as she holds back her own laugh "This is" snorting "Serious business."

[Jiyo Sora]

"Hey" her eyes water as she holds back her own laugh "This is" snorting "Serious business."

The cackle continued, turning into a species of breathless wheezing.

But some words started to come out.

"I... cannot WAIT... for the next family visit..."

[Anjing Xia]

The cackle continued, turning into a species of breathless wheezing.

But some words started to come out.

"I... cannot WAIT... for the next family visit..."

"I'm sure it will be um, 'piss easy'?"

[Jiyo Sora]

"I'm sure it will be um, 'piss easy'?"

That brought on a fresh burst of incoherence.

[Anjing Xia]

That brought on a fresh burst of incoherence.

"That was very crass...but it did feel good."
Xia played her Crab upbringing

[Jiyo Sora]

Sora got himself back under control, wiping a tear away.

"Most crass things do, in my experience. That's why we do them. And then make up rules saying they're crass."

[Anjing Xia]

"It's a conundrum, I suppose the taboo breaking does make it more fun to do. I feel pretty invigorated right now, I just need to remember not to let any of these words into the missive to the emperor, that would, uh, maybe not be good."

[Jiyo Sora]

"It's a conundrum, I suppose the taboo breaking does make it more fun to do. I feel pretty invigorated right now, I just need to remember not to let any of these words into the missive to the emperor, that would, uh, maybe not be good."

"I think he could probably handle it, but if you're concerned about posterity on some level, maybe best avoided."

[Anjing Xia]

"I think he could probably handle it, but if you're concerned about posterity on some level, maybe best avoided."

"I'll just say that I discussed 'matters of mind and body' with you, Sora-sama."
With a final burst of energy the triplicate missive is completed and she sits back with a content sigh.

[Jiyo Sora]

With a final burst of energy the triplicate missive is completed and she sits back with a content sigh.

"Impressive. I'm sure Shiba will appreciate it. She any replies go to your family's holding, or is there somewhere else you get messages?"

[Anjing Xia]

"Impressive. I'm sure Shiba will appreciate it. She any replies go to your family's holding, or is there somewhere else you get messages?"

With a sly grin
"Oh no, if the emperor would care to reply to this missive directly to my aunt, that works well for me."

[Jiyo Sora]

With a sly grin
"Oh no, if the emperor would care to reply to this missive directly to my aunt, that works well for me."

"But of course. I'll make a note of that."

He scribbled something- a postscript to the postscript- on each of his three letters.

"The Crab are fortunate to have you among their number, Xia of the Anjing."

"That's extremely kind of you to say Sora-sama. This was...quite something, the emperor is well served by someone so...wise?"
She stands and bows deeply
"I'll leave you to the rest of the day then, but you know, if you need someone to write things or translate from Crab to the rest of the empire..."

"I think you may find, if we all get out of this alive, that you'll have plenty of work to do. The Emperor likes to be apprised of the happenings in the Empire."

[Anjing Xia]

"I think you may find, if we all get out of this alive, that you'll have plenty of work to do. The Emperor likes to be apprised of the happenings in the Empire."

That means I could write to him more than once....I could write to him all the time!

"Then I will pray we do so Sora-sama...uh, not because I want to write more, but because I don't want us to all die."
Another hurried bow and she's off

((Thanks for the scene ))

He watched her go and shook his head.

That one needs more outlets for her energy.

((Thank YOU! It was a blast!))
