Chourou follows the Imperial Princess's gaze to the house down the street, quirking an eyebrow but nodding slowly. "I thank you for the kind thought, but we have already made a contract with Master Akram regarding our current accommodations." She pauses for a moment, considering, then adds, "It might be nice to live closer to other Porcelain, so we would not be so far scattered, though. Perhaps I could speak to Reiga, and see if we could make some sort of arrangement with Master Akram to repay him for what we have borrowed so far, and then move here?"
She laughs softly, though not at all in a disrespectful manner. "That would leave me indebted to the Imperial Princess, although that might ultimately be for the best, since after we return to the Golden World, it might be far more difficult to repay Master Akram back here in Gaia."

Rika chuckles softly.
"I am already indebted to you, as your service has ensured the safety of my younger sisters and of myself as we matured," she says, a somewhat uncharacteristic note of sincere, humble gratitude creeping into her voice. "Indeed, perhaps it is greedy of me to demand your continued company and protection in this world..."

Uki picks up Dagan's lead, turning back to face the two adults. Protection? Just what kind of thing would Princess Rika need protection from here, Uki wondered. Didn't the bad man who attacked them stay in the Golden World? And wasn't she staying with Setsushi anyway? A slight murmur of confusion and curiosity escapes Uki for a moment, before she manages to establish her uncertain self-control once again.
She blushes in embarassment and proceeds to do her best to stare through the sidewalk into the ground underneath, or so it seems.

The Dragon Knight salutes and tells the Imperial Princess, "I serve in hope that all children will be able to mature in safety. And it seems that there are many children now scattered here, in Gaia. If the Imperial Princess thinks it best for me to move to be closer to the others, then we will move. I think Master Akram would understand that we need to protect our own first and foremost."
Dagan twists his head around awkwardly, tugging lightly on the lead in Uki's hands in the process, as he decides to try to see if the leaves of this plant he has been carrying taste any good.
Chourou turns to try to fend off the camel's attempts at a snack, and, noting Uki's behavior, sends her daughter a faint reassuring feeling. She can help with the orange tree, yes?
"Ah, apologies, Imperial Princess, but I should probably take care of this before Dagan gets into it," she says, faintly embarrassed. "We can just leave this tree in front of Kouyo's house for the moment, yes?"

Rika smiles gently Rika smiles gently!? and inclines her head to Chourou.
"The tree... Yes, I think that will be fine." She abandons her box to walk across the street with the Knight and her daughter... at whom Rika glances, her expression once again impassive as she looks her up and down.
"... So, you are an aspiring botanist?" she finally asks.

Uki glances at the orange tree for a moment before answering, "I...it is more of a talent. I want to be a merchant, like daddy." She pauses hesitantly, then continues, "Daddy built me a big garden at home...I miss it, sometimes," the girl lowers her head, feeling at that moment very much like a child missing a favorite stuffed animal or an old blanket.
Uki grasps for a way to continue the suprisingly adult conversation, saying after a moment of thought, "Uhm...Co...er, Princess Rika? Would it be rude of me to ask you about my grandmother? I have not really had a chance to meet her much..." she trails off, glancing nerviously between the two adults, hoping that this choice is appropriate.

"Who? ... Oh, wait, Hiwa?" Rika, not being one to memorize lineages, had to think for a second.
"What do you want to know? I do not know much about her personally, but we occasionally work together..." Though even Uki might know that is an understatement, as Rika and Hiwa are well-known to be politically allied.
