After resting comfortably on her mattress for a moment, Miku lifted herself back up and wandered out of her room. She'd become bored all of a sudden, and sought company in her brother... Unfortunately, her dear Ije-chan was still out, so she settled for Claudius.<br/><br/>Miku gave a slight rap on her eldest brother's door. "Claudius?" she called. "It's Miku. May I come in?" When there was no answer, she became nervous. They<span style="font-style: italic">were</span>in the middle of a political war after all. Fear gripping her heart, Miku pushed open her brother's door.<br/><br/>As it turned out, he'd just been ignoring her. Or perhaps he'd been so engrossed in whatever filthy thing he was reading that he hadn't heard her in the first place. "What?" he barked when he noticed the girl.<br/><br/>Miku had caught sight of a picture that... well, it didn't really look like him, but she assumed it to be a drawing of Ije-chan. Claudius, brute that he was, had been using it for target practice. She stared at the sight with a look of something like horror, then jumped when her brother finally addressed her.<br/><br/>"I was looking for some pleasant company," she said curtly, "but I can see I won't find it here." With a huff, the youngest Hisuka spun on her heels and left the room; and act that Claudius seemed perfectly content with.<br/><br/>Miku eventually decided to occupy herself with some drawing in the main room.<br/><br/>----------------------<br/><br/>Ijemaru gave a bow when the princess entered. "Please accept my apologies for the uninvited intrusion." The Hisuka boy stood up straight and waited patiently as the princess discovered for herself what was going on here. "You are very welcome, Liliana-sama, er, I mean, your highness," He had bowed again and offered a  smile, a slight sheepishness intruding on its usual confidence. Even after having lived in the European area for several years, he still occasionally slipped back into the Oriental way of addressing royalty. The honorifics were probably the hardest things to shake of the Japanese language.<br/><br/>"Indeed," he said, rising, "whomever placed<span style="font-style: italic">that</span>trap," he said, nodding toward her shoes, "was perhaps a bit unoriginal. But even brute force occasionally has its triumphs."<br/><br/>He was... a bit surprised at the mention of a suitor. To find such a person in a time and place like this was... potentially dangerous. It was not his business to intrude upon her highness' love life, but he was held accountable for her safety. "I do not wish to be offensive in any way, your highness," he said, bowing as he left her bedroom and stood outside the door, "But I would suggest you bring something for your own defense. Regardless of whomever you're seeing, this is a dangerous time."<br/><br/>----------------------<br/><br/>Amadeus stood gracefully from his seat and went to casually interact with other nobles.
