The Silver Jade Palace
Looks at Ales from the corner of his eye, irritation with the man apparent. He had noticed him giving him sidelong glances all morning.
"I have literally penned one collection of poetry, for my old master. Mayhaps Sakemoko-sama has the copy I brought with me in his personal library. I have just crested 30 summers, and I'm afraid my foray into poetry didn't start until two years ago. Creating worthy poetry for a Lord is a time consuming affair, I'm afraid."
As they take seats at the table the hostess leads them to, he takes special care to sit directly across from Ales and locks eyes with him.
"Do you have a problem with me, Ales? I've noticed your sidelong glances all morning, and to be quite honest, I grow tired of them. I understand that I've arrived at a rather suspect time, with the raid of Akira no Kumo, but I assure you, I am not your enemy, Ales. If anything, Ales, you are the stranger in Sakemoko-sama's court. You would also do well to address our master with the proper honorific, gaijin, it's Sakemoko-SAMA."
He puts extra emphasis on the word 'sama', smirking and sitting back in his chair.
