Ijemaru looked to his father at the prince's beckoning. "You may go, son," Amadeus said quietly.<br/><br/>Ijemaru gave a slight bow and excused himself. He followed after the boy quickly, but not so fast as to be impolite. When they stopped Ijemaru read the words on the tablet. "Hmm, catacombs?" he said. "That sounds interesting. May we go there?" he asked, tilting his head and giving a friendly smile. He made the decision to put on his best 'child' act. He wasn't used to interacting with other boys his own age. As a person, he was more competitive than playful... oh well, might as well work on his act now.<br/><br/>Amadeus had been instructed that as soon as Ijemaru left, he was to use replies only from pages 6 and 12 onward, and only adapted responses. It was time that he'd have to do more thinking on his feet, but better to pay attention now, than face his son's anger later. With his... skills... it would be simple to arrange for Amadeus Hisuka to be no more, and for his second son, who had shown great potential, to step in as the head of the family. A puppet was easily replaced, he'd have to play his cards exactly right here. And based on the current turn of the conversation, he deemed the best choice would be to stay quiet for the time being.
