[Lenalee had made it through at least an hour of blending in after she figured out how one does in this type of situation. She had started to get use to it, even smiling and dancing when she was asked to. It was fun and gaining things from the men was quite easy. After a dance she had made her way around, thinking now was a good as time as any to speak to other people.]

What do you think of this event?

[yatteyanyo]

It is not unlike some of the court events from my homeland, though decidedly more Western in flavor. -Something she had gotten a lot more used to since arriving in the world they found themselves in. She could even wear a dress like she was without too much discomfort at the level of bare skin.-

[bloodheels]

[Lenalee knew of these kind of things. She knew that they were usually something higher up would have, in this case it being quite a similar thing. But she was most curious as to what they meant by that.]

Then what were they like back where your from?

[yatteyanyo]

They were akin to the court events of the Northern Dynasty... or so I'm told, anyways. I've never actually been to China. But it was a lot of pomp and circumstance, as you can imagine. And more sitting than standing.

[bloodheels]

[Lenalee had gone to pick something up to nibble as she pauses momentarily.]

While I am from China, I hadn't been there long enough to know, myself. Which is a shame because I could have helped a bit there.

[yatteyanyo]

Either way, I find myself comforted by a bit of familiar regality.

[bloodheels]

That's good at least. [She gives a small smile before putting the strawberry into her mouth, taking a bite.]

[yatteyanyo]

... What is that, actually? That you just ate.

[bloodheels]

What this? [She holds up the strawberry.] it's called a strawberry. they are delicious. Want to try?

[yatteyanyo]

I've heard of them, but this actually the first time I think I've seen one... I'd like to try it, yes.

[bloodheels]

[She goes over and picks up the bowl that contains them before holding them out.]

Here you go. Let me know what you think.

[yatteyanyo]

-Tojiko was very delicate and antiquated in her eating habits, just barely plucking the fruit with her fingertips and even covering her mouth as she took a bite, chewing slowly...-

My goodness...

[bloodheels]

[She gave a small smile before putting the platter with the strawberries down.]

I'm going to assume that goodness was a good thing?
