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]
