Eventually Miku got tired of sitting next to her brother doing nothing. "Brother," she said, "I'm bored. Can't I go do something?"<br/><br/>"If you're bored," said a feminine voice from behind her, "I wonder if you'd be kind enough to dance with me?"<br/><br/>Miku turned and was surprised to see that she was being asked to dance by another girl. Of course she had anticipated that something like this would happen eventually, but it surprised her none the less. She looked to her brother for guidance in this matter and he simply looked back and smiled.<br/><br/>"Miku," he said, "a lovely young lady has asked you to dance. It would not be befitting of a gentleman to turn her down. Besides, you were looking for something to do weren't you?"<br/><br/>Well, Miku thought, if that was what her brother wanted her to do... Miku smiled to the young lady and began her act. "It would be my pleasure to dance with such a beautiful young lady," she said. Her voice was not too low, but easily mistaken for a boy's, her face also could be seen as either gender. It was an odd phenomenon: if she were in a dress, she appeared to be a beautiful young woman. If she were in a suit, she appeared a hansom young man. And depending on the outfit, her voice could sound either masculine or feminine.<br/><br/>With the facade begun Miku held the woman's hand gently over her own, and with her other hand behind her back, walked the young lady to the dance floor like a proper gentleman.<br/><br/>Amadeus had just finished a rather lengthy conversation with one particular nobleman and Ijemaru took this opportunity to approach him. "Father," Ijemaru said respectfully, "It is rude to ignore our hosts for so long."<br/><br/>Amadeus nodded, "Yes of course son, you're right. Shall we go then and greet our hosts?"<br/><br/>"Yes father," Ijemaru said, as if he were the one obeying orders, not the other way around.<br/><br/>As they were walking toward their esteemed king and queen Ijemaru put his hand up to pull his hair away from his eyes. Amadeus understood immediately: that was a sign laying out a specific set of responses for him to be prepared to give based off the situation. This conversation had been specially prepared, just for their hosts.<br/><br/>"Good evening, your majesty, and his lovely partner," Amadeus said once they were within the reasonable conversation range. "It is such a beautiful night. One might think it funny how even when the winds of great change are blowing, mother nature acts in ignorance."<br/><br/>Ijemaru stood obediently at his right hand; the perfectly behaved son of a noble.
