The test went through with a breeze, or at least in a way Miyuki could be content with. It wasn't perfect, some strums were a tad bit too quick, and some plucks harder than it was supposed to be. Still, even with the distractions, the performance was finished and Miyuki exhaled a sigh of relief.<br/><br/>The job proposal was... intriguing, to say the least. Mainly because some shrine maidens, predecessors of Miyuki, actually went on to become 'courtesans' and 'companions', and were rumored to be traders or keepers of secrets. Although many of them took the opportunity to better their lives through manipulation and exchange of information, there were those who kept the words of their clients to themselves, never betraying to confidence of their customers and being completely neutral even in the face of moral dilemma.<br/><br/>Will she be able to handle this? Hopefully. The funds could be useful down the road...<br/><br/>...as long as what she hears does not lead to the death or downfall of someone close to her.<br/><br/><strong>"I accept."</strong>Miyuki said, the bard smoothing her robes as she moved to the folder, nodding as she scanned through the legal jargon. Learned in languages, Miyuki knew that most of her previous clients had to sign such a document as well, although less complex, before being allowed to see her. The shrine had to protect their interests too, and people needed to know the consequences before being allowed to meet Miyuki in her own chambers.<br/><br/><strong>"So, am I to take a tour of the mansion, Steward Algers? Perhaps to orientate myself... Also, during days where my services may not be required, am I allowed the freedom to roam the city, as well as travel to the outskirts, as long as I arrive here in pristine condition, that is."</strong>
