Jiang Wei

Lord Liu Bei's way, and thus the way of Shu, is to value the people. I... have spent some time patiently answering the many questions I have received upon the streets today, however...

I have concluded it would be best to retreat for the remainder of the day. I hope those I did not manage to engage will forgive me. Isn't that right, Mou? I am sure your many new friends won't mind.

I... slept very little last night.

My intentions are not to be rude to my very gracious royal host, but... though there were many layers of mattresses for my comfort, I could feel something, and it was uncomfotable enough to deny me rest...

Ah!



A pea...?


((OOC; LOL, have Princess Boyue and that dastardly pea today! *shot*))

( Private//Hard to hack )

I hope that the tensions of yesterday have begun to calm.

( Private//Moderately hard to hack )


While purchasing food supplies, I was informed by a shopkeeper of a tradition to cook pancakes today, served with lemon juice and sugar. I thought I would try! Sir, would you like some?



If it is acceptable, I would like to step up the attention I am devoting to Blink. As a warrior of Shu, I cannot allow my progress with the spear to wane.

What are our plans for the New Year, Prime Minister?


((OOC; Mun loves her pancake day ♥. WHY NO PANCAKE RACE, POLY? ;_;))

( Action time for Zhuge Liang )

Wake up! Wake up! [a small whine follows.]

...I do not ever wish to hear those sentiments from Kojiro again.

Mitsuhide? Will you have enough free time to come shopping with me today?
I hope I am not asking at an inconvenient moment.

A-Ah...!

...Prime Minister?


((OOC; For today, the Gallant Unicorn is now a... plush unicorn. Teehee. XD))

While some aches linger, I am happy to say that I feel back on form.

What a strange day yesterday was! We were lucky to remain unaffected in this household... though I heard Cao Pi spent the day in the body of a cat!

When I dreamt while I rested, I dreamt of Shu and all the little things in our day-to-day life that I miss. It is so quiet here, without the presence of our fellow Shu warriors. While it is a comfortable peace with Prime Minister Zhuge, it feels... odd to go for so long without any interrruption.

...
Lunch is almost ready, sir!

((OOC; Strikes are hackable to those with moderately good skills, if you really want. XD))

My apologies, Prime Minister. I must have been... no, I was exhausted after yesterday's curse. You didn't have to let me sleep in all day, sir, but... thank you. I appreciate your thought. And thank you for the trouble you went to for me.

While I am on the subject...

Li Syaoran? This warrior of Shu thanks you for your kindness. A sip of water does not sound much, but under yesterday's circumstances... I know I thanked you at the time, but I wanted to do so again, while I am in my rightful state of mind.

...Ouch.

I can't remember my body ever feeling as sore as it does at this moment. My muscles are protesting to every little moment...

Sir, have you already eaten? If not, I will make dinner for us both. I am rather hungry.

It is not a slave's place to complain, but in this heat, labour without a moment's rest...

It has been hours, and this thirst...

...

A-Ah! Nngh.

Forgive my unworthiness. I will get back to work...

I cannot face the Prime Minister like this! How could I live down disappointing him by embarassing myself in front of him, because of my...

It would be better for me to keep my distance.

There is so much to be done after the chaos of these past days. With so much to replace and repair, and with so many chores neglected in the face of war... I must begin right away! If I was to waste any time, the inconvenience will only stretch into following days.

I am looking forward to attending the Ball! Except I... do not think any of the clothing I have is suitable for a formal event. My formal robes remain in Shu, and I never thought to find some while here.

I do endevour to dress well and neatly while fulfilling my duties as an apprentice and officer of Shu, but there is an obvious difference in normal dress and formal dress, and...

...the last thing I want to do is to embarass Prime Minister Zhuge.

Would it be too forward of me to seek last minute assistance?

It's such a bright day!

I'll prepare something light for dinner today, Prime Minister.

...Is it possible to have lessons at the beach today, sir? We could have our meal there, too! I can go ahead and set up an area of shade for us; it is rather hot, but if we are careful to stay refreshed, then there is no reason to stay inside!

Prime Minister Zhuge has given me time off from my lessons, so I have decided to immerse myself the local culture. I am hopeful that I will not find it too confusing.

If it is acceptable to my new tutors, I would also like to use the chance to get on top of my cookery lessons. Once again, I thank you for your generosity, Mr. Pennyworth, Lord Mitsuhide, and Lady Takani. I appreciate the help.

Prime Minister, I hope you do not mind, but I have picked up, ah... scarf and gloves sets for us both today. Winter is beginning, and so they will help to keep us warm as the cold sets in... at least until we have the means to acquire the proper winter attire.

They are green, of course.

I would like to request a favour of someone well adjusted to the technologies of the City.

I... wish to learn how to properly use a modern kitchen.

Though I am a warrior with only basic skills in cooking, and little understanding of modern devices... I am a fast learner, and a dedicated student. Your time and effort will not be wasted upon me, this I promise.


Prime Minister, I hope you do not mind my decision. You cannot manage everything while balancing an income, my lessons and your own studies without putting strain on yourself, so please allow me to do my part and... handle our domestic affairs.


I hope I do not come across as too womanly.

Sometimes I worry that I won't be taken seriously as a warrior because I come across as a little awestruck... When I first met General Guan Yu I almost tripped over my own feet and General Zhang Fei's roaring laugh made me yelp... not to mention how the others like to tease me about my behaviour around the Prime Minister...

Ah... the curse?

Prime Minister?

...A...ah...

Where... am I?
