Northstar Vale Molars gnashing

Oh. The piece about his beloved being a leader was interesting enough, but presently overshadowed by the other piece of information he had just recieved. He wanted to apologize, to blurt out ah, my mistake- but his first apology had led to him being put down by the peasant. Though Clay seemed respectful now, Takeshi was hesitant to give him the chance to shame him again... and so said nothing, only nodding casually. 

Unfortunately the boy seemed uncomfortable now, and though he had not meant to cause such a reaction with his assumption, Shi also felt it was not his job to coddle others feelings. Nor did he care to keep the peasant here for further conversation- and so when Clay asked to leave, the emperor-to-be nodded again. Of course you may leave. It was a pleasure meeting you, Clay Apaata, Shi murmured agreeably, shutting his eyes as he sunk back into the relaxation of the place.
