Amadeus gave Lady Anna's servant girl a slight nod before she left, taking the glass up in his hands. He lifted it to his lips to drink, but pulled it back momentarily as their conversation switched to his side. "Japan is a beautiful place. Particularly in the spring time when all the cherry trees come into full bloom. If any, my homeland is second in splendor only to the very earth we sit upon here."<br/><br/>"Perhaps they miss it a bit, but we have a good life here and, frankly, not much reason to go back." He gave a slight, sad smile, "Perhaps it does seem odd, but you might be interested to know there was once a mother figure in the family, though she has long past. Once upon a time it wasn't simply a "band of men". But please," he said, lifting the glass and taking a sip, "don't let me bore you. Tell me of your homeland, the things you want to talk about." With his moment finished, Amadeus continued drinking his... snack, as he listened to Lady Anna give her share.<br/><br/>--------------------<br/><br/>Ijemaru smiled warmly, giving a nod. "Yes, that's right. Japan to be specific. My brothers and I grew up there, for the most part, but we've been living here for quite a while now." Ijemaru gave a glance toward Claudius' door. "I'm afraid I must apologize for our eldest brother. His temperament has been offset all night. I wonder if perhaps he didn't sleep well... Oh, pardon me. Do you have any other questions I can answer for you?"<br/><br/>---------------------<br/><br/>Claudius looked up from polishing his blades.<span style="font-style: italic">Dammit. What's with all that noise? And who the hell is in our rooms?</span>
