It's huge, yeah. [Intertwining his hands behind his head, Enki glanced up towards the sky, not even watching the steps as they walked down them.]
And since neither of you have really been here, you might get lost... And then the lazy bastard would get annoyed with me if I didn't make sure you got back and Tai and Kei got upset or something'.
[Not all kirin were as used to wandering as the kirin of En was, after all.]
[Taiki held onto Keiki's hand tightly as they walked, watching the steps carefully.] Can we see it all? Or is it too big? [He was excited though still nervous, and worried about why Enki was insulting his king]
It would be difficult to become so lost that we would lose sight of Mount Kankyuu. [ He's going for reassuring, in case Enki's flippancy causes more worry for Taiki. ]
[ They could easily get lost within the city, of course, but that isn't something to worry about. He looks askance at Enki. ] We should perhaps limit ourselves to one or two districts.
Keiki's right, one or two districts would be easier, since we're walkin'.
[It was probably a good thing they didn't literally need to walk all the steps to get down to the bottom, otherwise it'd take much too long.]
Would be kinda hard to lose sight of Kankyuu no matter where we were. [Enki grins and shrugs.] Anything you wanna see? Should be some candy we could get... Would ya want that, kiddo?
[Taiki's face lit up. Of course he would like candy. He tried to act like the adult kirin he was supposed to be and resisted being too excited.] I'd like that.
Nothing in particular. [ he had vague plans to visit a nursery said to have been granted a new type of scented rose, as a present for her Majesty's attending the conference, but that could be accomplished on their return journey. ]
[When they finally hit the bottom, Enki pointed off down one of the streets.]
That way. How's things goin' now, kiddo?
[This time, Enki glanced first to Taiki and then to Keiki, considering what they had to do for the poor black kirin to start feeling like his choice had been the right one.
And, well. Keiki seemed to have some... issues with his young king.]
[Taiki bounced along at Keiki's side, swinging their arms the epitome of an adult kirin.] They are okay... there's lots to do still and I still don't understand a lot...
Lord Gyousou is doing really well though. [He brightens, the moment of doubt leaves his eyes.]
[He catches the angled look and jerks his head slightly in the direction they need to go, admittedly, it's a bit of a walk from the base of Mount Kankyuu, but it's not as if it'll be hard to return quickly or easily if they have to.]
Yeah, like Keiki said, you'll get in time... And some things you'll just know how to do, or won't even need to think about how.
[Enki shrugs, thinking back on his own early years and smirks. Mostly because of Shuko and the other ministers not knowing how to deal with either kirin or king.]
Since part of what we do is to make sure the probable disasters Kings can cause the people don't happen... or are mitigated, at least.
[Mercy. Rokuta almost snorted, but managed not to. Sometimes it seemed impossible, but that was the nature of Kings, wasn't it?]
[Taiki nodded, once such news would have made him despair but now he knew that there really were things that he would get in time, it just took him a little longer than most...
He blinks sadly at Enki's second words and nods] I hope I do just understand it because... I don't know if I can remember everything I have to learn... [Never mind prevent disasters]

Anything you were plannin' on seeing?
