...Part 3... Though tomorrow I have something different.
"Are you ever going to become King Missaru...or is it Haznable? I forget how that works in this country..." the younger man wondered aloud. Though his grasp of the technical workings of Eastirrim's monarchy were rather feeble, he saw the situation clearly for what it was. I was still pondering my answer when he continued bravely, "If it's the asking that's causing you difficulties, I'd be happy to step up and lend a hand. I'm sure others would be glad to as well."
I blushed I'm sure, but my mask concealed it . "Thank you for your generous offer, but it's not a proposal. It is merely meant to be a declaration of long, mutually understood feelings."
The mask rattled around a bit as Kojiro shook his head. "You're so weird. You and Anabel too."
I knew that this too was meant as encouragement of a sort. Ever since I met the late king in my youth I have been keenly aware of the good fortune I'd had to be supported by so many fine people. Kojiro shook my hand and I was off again, having lost sight of the flamingo.
"Excuse me," I murmured, and "Pardon me," as I squeezed around some chairs where several flowery ladies were enjoying the snacks. Tayasu and Tobalito tried to engage me in a long, rambling conversation they were having with Sir Luca, but I managed to avoid too great an entanglement. Captain Tessan, the leader of Orange currently in the guise of a peacock, had seen Anabel just moments before.
"Oh, yeah, she's a flamingo," he assured me, "All in beautiful pink. She was looking out the window at the city's lights. She probably decided to go out on the balcony."
I thanked him and continued onward immediately.
