Eurich was beginning to dearly miss the company of the true head of the Hisuka family.  Ijemaru had, at least to him, been and intellectual and physical stimulant that hadn't caused him as much stress as the ones provided by the competition for the throne.  He searched about the room uncomfertabley while his sister prattled to the girl he knew as Sophia.  When she greeted him, he waved politely and appeared to listen intently as she spoke, though his thoughts were a little ways away.<br/><br/>In his search, his eyes caught sight of the youngest Nagasaki brother, whom he'd gotten along so swimmingly with the other evening.  If he'd thought more about it, he might've brought the books up with him.  Then again, he supposed it would give him an excuse to politely bow out of the festivities.  He held up his hand to his sister, touching it to her upper-arm.  She turned to him and appeared abashed that he'd interrupted her and Sophia.  He bowed a small bow and gestured behind him to the general area where Tsukiya was sitting.  She nodded and gave the room a quick scan herself.<br/><br/>Lilliana's scan stopped on the pair of ladies standing fairly near their brother.  Her face became alight with glee and she waved the twins over with an excited but stiff hand.  "Oh, Miss Sophia, let's ask the Misses Nagasaki to come and ride with us.  We surely have enough horses and I do not wish to omit them, particularly as this conversation does involve their elder brother.  And Eurich and their younger brother have apparently become quite close, as I dare say he would not have taken his eyes off you had he not seen a fellow to rescue him."  She laughed musically, bringing what little blook was within Eurich to his cheeks.  The man made one more polite bow and headed in the direction of the male wallflower.
