[The Vine shows Akiha in her sitting room, a steaming cup of tea before her.]

As our gracious host has been so kind as to give us all more sugar than any of us need and a distinctive lack of most other forms of real sustenance, I would like to take the time to provide everyone with a proper gourmet meal.

As I understand, in America, tomorrow would mark a holiday to give thanks with an extravagant feast. So, for dinner tomorrow, I am inviting all of you to the Tohno Mansion for such a meal. As I am not American, I cannot claim it will be a Thanksgiving feast as per preset standards, but I assure you, it will be an excellent meal with plenty of meat and other culinary dishes we've been unable to have at our leisure as of late.

Dinner will be served at five o'clock sharp. I ask that, as I'm inviting all of you - even those of you I do not get along with - that you be on your best behavior. If you wish to partake in alcohol, I suggest you bring it along with you that I am not keen on sharing.

Please, accept my generosity and join me for the evening.

[Akiha bows her head slightly before picking up her tea to sip.]

[ooc: If there is enough interest, I can put an open log up for this otherwise handwave it.]

I am the head of a very wealthy family. An aristocrat.

[She's tempted to say something about how she looks too young for that, but holds her tongue. Free food is nothing to scoff at.]

That explains your manners. Sorry if I came across as rude.

[ritsu_kouyou]

[She is young for being the head of the family that controls the supernatural side of Japan, but she inherited the position when her father died.]

You're forgiven. I have found I've become far more tolerable than I used to be in regards to formality.

[binaural]

Even if you acted like a queen, it wouldn't be a problem to match it. It just would be a surprise.

[ritsu_kouyou]

How refreshing to find someone here that understands it's not difficult to be proper.

[binaural]

I was brought up to know the importance of good manners. [Save the insults for behind their back, things like that.] Some of the people here make me wonder what sort of environment they must have grown up in.

[ritsu_kouyou]

Exactly my thoughts. Some of these girls are little more than wild animals.

[binaural]

No respect whatsoever, for others or those in higher positions. It's really such a shame.

[way #7 into Therese's heart-gossip with her.]

[ritsu_kouyou]

Oh, they will learn respect. It's inevitable.

[binaural]

But can the process be hurried up at all?

[ritsu_kouyou]

If only.

[binaural]

In any case, I will be attending this dinner of yours.

[ritsu_kouyou]

I do hope you enjoy it. I will see you then. [And she dismisses the mirror.]
