I'll remember that one," he said as he brushed himself off."Heh, in your request there are four things I wish to address," Diedrik said, "The request itself, and three other matters. I'll start with the easiest because giving you the answer you want will take some explaining. Geisha, though normally an inappropriate reference for a lady of her standing, I would agree with for personal satisfaction and her current situation. Also, I am surprised and impressed that you speak Rowaini, and you'll have to tell me all about your learning it some time. On another note, don't bother with this reporting to me business. If anything I should be reporting to you since you were kind enough to bring me in on your job. I'm willing to make a compromise there though, how about we regard each other as equals as far as this security work is concerned?"And finally, what you wanted to know about Vanessa's threat. As you must understand, there are very few Rowaini who have spent much time on Lara Kai. The only Rowaini people who have ever been capable of being accepted into the culture are those with the most sincere interests in learning of the culture. One controversial woman, who you may not have heard of, spent quite some time on Lara Kai. Roese Galienne was the name she travelled under, and what made her so controversial was that she had a half-Larakese son after spending some time on Lara Kai. She wasn't nobility but she had married a Rowaini nobleman, and I had the pleasure of meeting her once when she stayed at my father's tavern for a brief period of time. She told some amazing stories of Lara Kai, and even taught me a little of the language before she departed again. I didn't know anything about her significance or background until I heard she had been executed for the murder of her own daughter. She didn't seem like the type, but I didn't know her for long enough to tell anyway."And so her son disappeared not long after that, if I remember correctly. I think he was actually fairly popular despite his mixed heritage, but that didn't seem to stop him. Not long after that I finally finished saving for my trip to Lara Kai. It was pointless staying home, I was the youngest of five brothers and wasn't about to inherit anything important, so I left to learn about this wondrous place Lady Galienne had told me about. I spent a long time there, and soaked in as much as I could before I left again to see if I could find a fortune of my own somewhere among the stars. Somehow I think Lady Vanessa had me mistaken for Lady Galienne's son. I mean, I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure I would have to look as though I had Larakese heritage before I could be mistaken for her son, and I'm pretty sure he's younger than me anyway. Seems she deems a knowledge of Larakese sufficient evidence alone to assume I'm some nobleman on the run, either that or she couldn't think of anything else to prompt me to stay out of her business. I guess I don't need to tell you why her situation is so concerning, but for the time being I guess I can respect the Lady's privacy until she is in a mood to explain. Asking Kirkesh may prove somewhat more beneficial anyway, there could hopefully be a level of understanding between one traveller and another.So, does that answer your question Yotsu-san?"[/sblock]</blockquote>
