> "With all due respect, history would suggest no architectural experts have been consulted on this issue before."

[Hello Purvis]

> "With all due respect, history would suggest no architectural experts have been consulted on this issue before."

>"Now that I can't say," says Reisen. "I suspect Eirin might know something on the topic, at least. We've never discussed it."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Mmm. If that is the case, then I should also say that you should be prepared for the possibility that your consultant gives you an analysis you do not like."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Yeah, that is a possibility," says Reisen.

[Kilgamayan]

> "If you could, I would look into that as much as you can, perhaps by consulting your Tewi in private so the air of mystery is not ruined for anyone else."

>"I'll see what I can get out of her," says Reisen.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Is there anything else you would like to know?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Is there anything else you would like to know?"

>"I don't think there's much else you need to tell me," says Reisen. "I just need to figure out how to slip away long enough to get anything done."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Are you confident the walls will not metaphorically come crashing down without your presence?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Are you confident the walls will not metaphorically come crashing down without your presence?"

>Reisen shakes her head. "Rather, it would be bad if I vanished and it were noticed. I'm rather easy to pick out, and it would look bad if we were suspected of just using this as an excuse to go play."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Ah, I see. Yes, that could be problematic. I admit it would be best for your cause if it was you that consulted with the earth spiders, but is there possibly another rabbit that you would trust with this task?"

>"Not really," says Reisen. "Not with sending them underground, anyways."

[Kilgamayan]

> Put on a thinky face.
> "Unfortunate. Mmm...how poorly would it reflect on you if I asked for a local's assistance in finding my missing companions?"

> "Unfortunate. Mmm...how poorly would it reflect on you if I asked for a local's assistance in finding my missing companions?"

>"I think that might be fine," says Reisen. "There's a difference between running off and helping someone out."

[Kilgamayan]

> Smile.
> "Splendid. After all, there is a lot of bamboo to search, and I know very little of the area. Even with a guide, such a search is likely to take a long time."

>"Maybe, but I wouldn't recommend running around out there too much," says Reisen. "The faeries out there can get kind of irritable."

[Suwako Moriya]

> Let the smile fade a bit.
> "Well, yes, perhaps, but that is not entirely what I was getting at. Regardless, what must we do to see this through?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Let the smile fade a bit.
> "Well, yes, perhaps, but that is not entirely what I was getting at. Regardless, what must we do to see this through?"

>"Well, I can probably just ask someone to go with you," she says.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Why not you yourself?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Why not you yourself?"

>"Oh, well, I suppose I could," says Reisen. "Sorry, I thought you meant send someone else."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "It is quite all right. My apologies if I was unclear in my suggestions."

[Hello Purvis]

> Nod.
> "It is quite all right. My apologies if I was unclear in my suggestions."

>"No, it's okay," says Reisen.
>You round another corner and make your way back toward the group of rabbits. From this angle, you note several of them are playing with a notably pudgy dog.

[Suwako Moriya]

> "And, ah, if I may, on the record, the personal goings-on of your house and its denizens are not my business to meddle in, and I have little-to-no preference for whom comes out on top."

>"That's what I expected," she says.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Thank you for understanding."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Thank you for understanding."

>"I'm more surprised that you've taken an interest in Eientei's internal affairs to begin with," she says.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Shrug with a smile.
> "It costs nothing to be pleasant, yes? Your house has a problem I am in a unique position to offer advice on. And, truth be told, my companions and myself benefit from a more peaceful land, so an expedient resolution is worth helping."

>"I suppose that makes sense. Though I'd hardly call this a real disturbance to the peace. Not like it'll turn violent or anything."
