of knights, dogs, and yakitori

( another week, another palace- and far be it from us to deny tradition. through bickering, wandering and other shenanigans, the group from argenti's palace will find themselves at an agreeable izakaya- not entirely meals, and they definitely have to make an argument for the younger teens, thank you izou, but the atmosphere is light and more importantly, this bad boy can fit so many customers at one group table. it was a hard battle- so now it's time to rest hard, too.

please consult here for menu ideas. this is not a dennihop. )

And that's pushed you to take up so many skills in turn, yes?

( despite mafuyu's general monotone, she does sound genuinely interested! )

It really does feel like you could do anything...

[kandata]

Indeed. Ever since the start, I have been asked to perform tasks more befitting of a personal assistant than a maid...so that led to a certain amount of versatility. Perhaps it was short-sighted to call myself a maid, but...

[Kirumi looks away, and voices one of her actual opinions:]

...I like the maid aesthetic. I made my uniform myself.

[beathollow]

Maybe, but... I'm proud of what you've accomplished. I know I try to get you to rest with us, but I won't belittle your work ever.

( the second bit gets a small laugh out of her- it reminds her of mizuki. )

Oh, it's very pretty. I... actually like things like that. And goth lolita, but ... ... My friend Mizuki makes her clothes, too.

[kandata]

Thank you. Your kind words mean a lot to me.

[She'd give the usual elegant curtsy if she was standing up! But since she's sitting down eating, she has to settle with a bow of her head for a moment]

Who would this friend of yours be? Would you like to tell me about her?

[More like Kirumi wants to hear about her!]

[beathollow]

... Her name is Mizuki. She's the editor for our music videos. She likes anime, snacks, anything cute, and fashion- she's very pretty. I... hold on.

( after a moment, she pulls out her phone, all her data transferred to it. she pulls up some pictures of a cute, lively girl. )

Whatever she doesn't make, she still alters with embroidery and beadwork. ... She's very playful, but- she's also one of the kindest people I know.

[kandata]

[Aw, look at her! So pink, Mizuki is a cute one]

I see. How did you two met?

[Kirumi is listening to Mafuyu attentively, wanting to know more about her life and times. Mafuyu wanted to get along with Kirumi as a person, and Kirumi wants to reciprocate]

[beathollow]

We worked together online for our music group before we met in person- she volunteered to help edit and provide visual effects for our videos.

...

In person...

She and the others found me when I was about to make a terrible choice, and they all stopped me. I didn't think anyone would. I... am happy to have been wrong, though.
