Kyang wasn't discouraged too much by Liu's comments, though she did take note of where his eyes wandered. It probably should have occurred to Kyang to look the part if she was going for a job. "Nah, I'll work something out. I've a few tricks up my sleeve when it comes to details."

Despite wanting to press Liu for more details on Mingdu's administration, the moment she took to slurp at some chunks of her meal allowed him to change the subject. "Mm," Kyang prevented herself from speaking through her mouthful just in time - she was eating rather fast. She brought one sleeve to her mouth and raised a finger while she swallowed painfully. "Ah! Wow, you were right about this soup," Kyang commented quickly before looking back up and returning to the topic at hand, "Sounds like a good show. It might be the only time I get to see the inside of the school anyway."

Not only that, but Kyang entertained the possibility that Torako might stay behind to continue eating, well out of sword reach. Kyang could escape [i]and[/i] continue talking to her new contact in Liu. However, she would have to confirm that first. Kyang turned her head to Torako, "You aren't going to give up this soup, though, aren't you Torako-...you know, why are we calling each other 'dono' anyway? Wouldn't 'san' work just fine? That's how Rikoku honorifics work, correct?"
