[OOC: Ok, then I'm back to Ghost White]
I am of a mind with you, Shinobu-sama, Manji spoke calmly, after gracefully refilling everyone's teacups, if that much is agreed upon, I believe we could discuss the details of how these operations would work with more calm, at a later time.
The fox looked to Jun and made a small deference, if I'm not mistaken, Jun-sama has another important business that should be discussed first.

Yes indeed, Manji-san. But ...It’s late in the night and we don’t wish to be rude overextending our conversation, that can be quite long, when Kasuga-san needs proper rest to full recover… We can continue this conversation by the morning, don’t you agree, Kasuga-san? He gave ‘her’ a shy smile, then turned to Manji. For a moment, he thought in asking the man to cure Shinobu. But he and Manji were not friends and a request as that would be daring, to say the least. But maybe his blue eyes and silence were more expressive than any word he could speak about it.

Once, the White Fox told Manji that, sometimes, silence can speak louder than words. It seemed to him that now was one of those times. Jun's intentions, albeit unspoken, were as clear to him as the Crane's blue eyes.
Manji took a long, deep breath, then gazed inquisitively at Shinobu, before saying in a soft tone, I fear Jun-sama may be right in this, Shinobu-sama. We would be poor guests if we let our visit bring you unhealthiness or discomfort, Manji stopped for a short while, measuring his next words carefully, Shinobu-sama, if I may be so bold as to ask, earlier, when we arrived, you mentioned a shugenja. Are you already under proper care? I am a trained water shugenja, devotee of Inari, and if you wish so, I can help you with your cough, before it worsens.

Shinobu gave a soft smile to this, looking down shyly. "Arigato Manji-san, Jun-sama. I am stronger than I seem, and I have the best of care. I would not burden you with tending to me further Manji-san. As for the offer... I would feel remiss stopping our discussions purely on my own account. If you really wish to wait for the morning, I of course have rooms set aside..."
Shinobu trailed off and looked back up. Dark eyes rested on Jun.

If you feel well, Shinobu-san, we don’t want to interrupt the thread we are following right now, then. So I believe we can count on your family to help us to deal these matters for us, right? If so, I think we can talk about another subject. My friends are thinking in get some rare material found within the gaijin… the usual route they use to get it are by now interrupted by the war. But we know some of them are often dealing with your clan, so my friends thought that, maybe, you can get an amount of this rare item with the gaijin… The casual way Jun moved his head, and looking upward, was meant to have a better view of the mysterious 'woman. Their eyes crossed for a second, then Jun bent forward to the table and reached a piece of sashimi with his chopsticks, while talking: I don’t know if it’s possible, of course, but this itens, so rare and special, aren’t in the usual list of goods any clan usually delivers to you. We of course believe obtaining these itens in the quantity we need can be difficult and...risky. My friends would like to now if Kasuga-san can get it for us. I have total liberty to negotiate the price if getting this material is possible for you.

The fox bowed respectfully to the Tortoise, then said in a soft tone, if you feel there's no problem, Shinobu-sama, then, by all means, let's continue. I would hate to impose upon your hospitality though.
Afterwards, Manji stood silent, calmly sipping on his hot tea, while attentively watching the Crane make his request. After all, it wasn't everyday that someone had the rare opportunity to observe such delicate dealings be made in the name of a Great Clan.

Shinobu listened to Jun silently. Eyes flitted down shyly as Jun's eyes met them. Shinobu looked back up as Jun finished. "We will work something out for the former matters, I am sure..."
"As for this other matter... I am, of course, unsure what you could mean about my family dealing with gaijin or gaijin goods. It is against Imperial law to deal in such things. However... there are those we keep an eye on that may be able to help those seeking such things, and the Tortoise would never judge another clan's needs. The only matter then would be to discover what the goods in question were... then I may be able to direct you to the right path, Jun-sama."

Jun seemed thoughtful for a moment: Forgive me, I never meant to offend you or your family when I spoke about business with the gaijin. Some manner of commerce with them is allowed, stimulated in some form, for all I know, but, again, I am just a bushi and understand little of such business. All I say was told to me by people who think that, maybe, you can know the right person… the right path as you say. After a sigh and a sip on his tea, he said: Unfortunately, we probably are thinking the same thing. This rare material I am looking for, is, probably, one of the few gaijin itens not allowed within our borders.

Shinobu gives a very soft shrug. "It is not my place to judge, Jun-sama. As I said, I have no knowledge of such things, but I could direct you to those that do. Perhaps they would know this thing you seek."

Shinobu’s gracious reply told Jun what he expected to hear. He bowed to “herâ€, respectfully. I would surely appreciate it, Shinobu-san, and could not expect more from you about such subject. So, I will spend the required time in Kyuden Kasuga to finish this business with your acquaintances… With your permission of course.
