Unsou had her eyes shut, trying to push back the things she was feeling. It seemed a lot harder to do in this world. Why? How was it so easy for her in the Golden World but so difficult in this place called Gaia? When she was addressed, she looked back over her shoulder at them, a slightly blank look on her face as confusion showed in her eyes.
"Oh....if you wish." She spoke quietly, the prospect of joining more company somewhat appealing to her. It was certainly a good excuse to see Tenkyuu again. Perhaps she might feel comfortable around her elder.
Tsubei smiled and tutted Setsushi for his modesty. Setsushi is a wonderful cook, he need not apologize. A meal is not made special because of the complexity or grandure of the dish.
"A meal is made special by the care and heart that the cook puts into it." She looked over at Yaruka to see a proud smile on the woman's face. It was something her guardian had taught her a long time ago; a nice piece of wisdom she thought she could share with him.
"The end of next week should be ample time. I will be looking forward to it." She spoke with sincerity, but there was no hiding a touch of nervousness in her voice.

Setsushi agrees with Tsubei, in fact -- he just wishes that he could make, with his sincere care and heart, a truly excellent meal suited to the nobility of his guests. But... He shrugs. "It may be too much for me to hope for," he says with a shrug. Setsushi is, after all, a warrior, not a chef.
As he says this, he glances towards Unsou -- and is rather surprised at her facial expression. He blinks, but suppresses any other reaction he may have; he doesn't want to embarrass her. Instead, he carefully looks away, back to Tsubei and Yaruka, and grasps for a conversation topic.
Err, uhh...
... Actually, since Setsushi has come all the way out here anyway, and the weather is just perfectly suited to his tastes, he was thinking of perhaps going for a walk out by the water -- is there any particular route the ladies recommend he take...?

"You lose heart too soon, Setsushi." Tsubei chided softly, a warm smile on her face to the tall Knight. If one believes that a fairly simple dish can taste as good as a gourmet meal, then it will. For something to be special, one only has to believe that it is.
Tsubei thought about a good way to walk down by the water, recalling the various places around the house and grounds that could be perfect.
"There is a path behind the greenhouse." Follow the tredded path through the long grass. It leads down a more level side of the cliff and should take Setsushi directly to the shore.[
Unsou didn't even notice Setsushi's expression. She was still trying to fish through the current of emotion that suddenly came over her. It was frustrating.....infuriating. She grasped onto the anger and used it, trying to pull herself out of the torrent and back into herself.
She could use this. If she just kept a hold of the anger for a while longer, she could resume her practice and physically beat away the sentimentality in effigy of the motionless dummies.

Setsushi shrugs again, chuckling a little, and sending equivocal feelings to Tsubei.
"Then I think I will be off to explore," he says with a smile. He pauses, though, looking over at Unsou... Then rubbing his chin, glancing up towards the cloudy sky visible through the greenhouse roof, and seems to decide against whatever he was originally going to say to her.
Instead, he bows. "I look forward to seeing you at the week's end," he says, addressing all of them but especially Unsou, to whom he adds, "and in two weeks, even more."

Unsou looked up to Setsushi when he big his farewells, raising an eyebrow slightly when he expresses it more so to her that he looked forward to their next meetings. She returned his farewells, deciding she would return to the dojo. She needed to let off some steam.
Yaruka smiled to Setsushi and bowed a bit to him, as did Tsubei.
"We will see you soon enough, Setsushi. Take care."
