[Day 7 ME] Looking Upon My Works Ye Mighty, and Mojito (Expecting)

[Yūrei]

Snip

"A tall handsome monk who does all the chores and can carry things?"
Tipping her glass back "I'll drink to that! You shall have to marry well, Bayushi-sama. Someone fit for your station, but with abs."
Chuckling a little behind her glass.

"But yeah, retirement definitely isn't cool. I mean, what do you do all day? Nothing, right? That's why it's retirement. I reckon you want to be like..semi-retired? So it's like normal but you don't have to work as much and can have more fun?"

[Bayushi Senshuken]

She nods to the bartender and orders a sake with energy drink. "She's paying." She says to the heimin and then her attention returns to Yurei.

"Marriage?! It will hurt my poor heart less if you kill me now." She chuckles. "I don't mind not working per se. Perhaps, after a few decades of doing so, I will mind even less, but semi retired sounds more fun. I could have meetings like this one and send my aide to gatherings like the evening one while I do whatever I wish and criticize their hard work in the meanwhile. Perfect!" Another chuckle. "You will need another plan, as well. I can't imagine you tending your garden and cooking veggies."

[Yūrei]

Snip

"I'm told marriage isn't the worst thing, but I've never been hitched so..." She shrugs, although there's a slight smile as she considers her own possibvle partners.

"You sound like you'd be a true semi-retired terror. Working everyone really hard and then speeding off before they can reply. Probably would actually get even cooler as you got older. You could be the hip bike riding aunt."

Raising an eyebrow at shouting the Scorpion a drink but acknowledging that she was the one post payday
"Another plan? Hmmm, maybe I'd found a little organisation that helps people. But it would need a good name, without a good name you can't do anything."

[Bayushi Senshuken]

"Don't you have a good name, Yurei san?" The question comes easily along with many more that stay in the Scorpion's head for now. This has to be answered first.

[Yūrei]

"I dunno. I was thinking 'The Fixers', but it could be a little on the nose. Ghost Inc might be a little arrogant. 'The Watchers' sounds like something out of a Scorpo drama. What do you reckon?"

[Bayushi Senshuken]

She laughs. "Oh, I'm stupid sometimes. I thought that you had doubts regarding your reputation." She pauses to sip her drink that was just delivered.

"The Watchers does sound good, but you should check that it isn't already taken. You don't need a massive lawsuit obstracting you from doing your job." She thinks for a moment. "How about 'the Caretakers'?"

[Yūrei]

Snip

"Oh no, my reputation is tip-top. I'm not gonna say I am the best, but I have been called the best...by me, and others, many others."
Statistically, probably.

"That's a good point to check about the trademark, security is one thing but I do not mess with lawyers."
Firmly
"They will mess you up." She sips for a moment, considering the suggestion "Caretakers could work, like we're looking after one specific area. Although I worry some higher ups might think we're janitorial staff. We'd end be cleaning up the wrong problems."

[Bayushi Senshuken]

"Oh, good point. I can't imagine you with a broom. You wouldn't look cool enough." She winks at her and takes another sip of her drink.

"Do you have experience with dealing with lawyers? You seemed to talk out of experience earlier."

[Yūrei]

"Oh, good point. I can't imagine you with a broom. You wouldn't look cool enough." She winks at her and takes another sip of her drink.

"Do you have experience with dealing with lawyers? You seemed to talk out of experience earlier."

"Oh, well you know, ronin. We don't have a lot of legal protection so any lawyer with clan backing can be very dangerous. And there's no way we can practically fight back."

Leaning forward against the bar
"Every once in a while someone tries to sue the Kestrels so we have to pool our money and ask Bayushi-sama for help. He usually gets annoyed and goes after them for costs and makes it a big enough fight to determine anyone else. But an independent ronin just has to hope it's not worth anyone's time."

[Bayushi Senshuken]

That makes a lot of sense. "I am glad that Bayushi sama is such a caring and benevolent ruler then." She actually uses these specific words and she doesn't seem to be joking at all.

The young courtier raises her glass for a toast. "I will drink to lawyers and magistrates staying away from your path, Yurei san. And to an extention of our partnership, allow me to say. I strongly believe that such a prospect will leave both of us more than pleased with the result."

Raising her own and clinking it against Senshuken's

"May lawyers and magistrates stay away from both our paths. And to future partnerships with caring and benevolent rulers."
She winks over the glass before draining it in one motion

((Good to fade to small talk? ))

[Bayushi Senshuken]

/sure! Thank you for the thread. It was fun!
