That is a travesty! There's nothing really like staying a long time in a ryokan with an obaasan who calls you by name at breakfast every day, "Ushiromiya-sama"... don't tell me it must be the same way with a restaurant, it's not really a good old Japanese style restaurant if there are more than ten seats.

[meatitfeedson]

Ahh, the best obaasan special treatment is at the Ushiromiya head household anyway. Still, you're really making me want a vacation! We didn't even get a chance to have a honeymoon, a vacation's long overdue.

[keybroad]

No honeymoon? The business world really is harsh! Keep swimming just to get your head above water... I've never been that high flying, may I ask what do you use the money for if you don't get to vacation that much? [Lightheartedly in case this is actually a painful topic--] Keeping yourself in tailored suits?

[meatitfeedson]

[She laughs.] A sharp suit can help scare away the competition!

Actually besides the usual and recycling it back into the company, my husband really loves westerns. The film genre. It's become an expensive hobby of choice, collecting the sort of guns you'd see in those.

[Extra expensive for being illegal...]

[keybroad]

Like a prop gun or...? [Lotus pauses the inking a little because she shouldn't laugh and hold it at the same time. Okay, well.] Look out, I'm starting again.

[meatitfeedson]

Got it.

[It really is a painful spot, no matter how she puts on a brave face...]

Sometimes they're working replicas, but he tries to get the authentic period ones as much as possible. After his father managed to import a few he just had to outdo him, I guess.

[keybroad]

[It is hard not to stop and stare at that one. At least this time Lotus manages to integrate the pause into a transition to the sixth and final of the cranes.]

Is this part of him really liking Western things like the names?

[meatitfeedson]

I guess so, no one really understands him. But I suppose he was the one to introduce Rudolf to western films, so he must like them himself? It's best not to question him really, he's old, full of contempt, rich and eccentric. It's a perfect storm.

[keybroad]

I'm kind of glad he's not here just so we don't have to see what he'd tattoo...

[She draws the gun back up.]

There, I think that's enough. Let me know what you think.
