Ryuunosuke nodded and said "Indeed I am." He then reached over to the tea pot and began pouring some tea for Touka personally. After all, she was his guest. He then began to pour some for himself and said "I am grateful for the gift from the Hakurou clan and that our friendship between the two families have existed so long. I am fully aware of the contributions that the Hakurou clan makes in the north in regards to preserving the sanctity of the shrines in that region. I am sure it is a daunting task. So, please feel free to ask anything of me if it will help the Hakurou, and I will try within my power and reason to see that it is fulfilled." Ryuu took a sip of his tea and then continued to say "Now then. There must be some specific reason that you wanted to see me. How am I able to help you?"
