"Well, I guess it's less of a trade now..." she said, perhaps only realizing this now.

After a moment, she presented both of the robots forward again, "maybe you could consider a token of participation from your hostess here? I know for sure that Bean Stalk is too over-grown for toys here."

She smirked at the direction of Asako Ryo.

Asako Ryo gave a roll of his eyes before he adopted his resting courtier face once more. "Thanks for thinking about me but yeah, no thanks."

"True,true . . . butIcan'ttakearealonehomewithme, sothiswilldo."

Although if he could have smuggled a native animal off world in his luggage . . . it would have been his otori.

"Oh excuse me" he said to the 'Bean Stalk' "I'm Yasuki Nishida, an honor to meet you,...?" he looked at the man, then turned to Chiruha again.

"I would love to accept it, but your company is already token enough for me." he declined the gift a second time.

Ishiyo laughed at that, suddenly imagining the Fox in tacky sunglasses with a suspiciously rake shaped luggage. Noitwillfitintheoverheadbin!Checkitagainplease!Don'tmindthenoise!

"Might make it hardeh to convince you-eh family that the you faced down some scary creatures on the planet."

Considering he had faced down a cult bent on handing the world over to an entity from another realm he thought convincing his family of ferocious beasts to be an easy option.

"Wellthey'llhavemyotherplushiesasproofofotori,driftersandpeacocklizardsasbackuptothisraker."

"Oh? Planning to reenact the entire planet's worth of animals?" Ishiyo raised her brow, "Drop it in a mushroom garden and you could probably give them some idea of Asakaze."

"Wellthere'ssomuchinterestinganimallifeonthisplanet. Couldspendalifetimestudyingit. Nevergoingtoforgetotoriridinghere. Thathasbeenoneofthebestmomentsofthisentiremiaiforme."

Yes he was a Fox. Animals, animals, animals. The Phoenix were lucky there was no fox-equivalent on the planet or Izumi would have been smuggling one of those out in his luggage.

Ryo's introduction was simple and curt, he did walk in the middle of a gift-giving ceremony apparently. "I'm pleased to meet you, Yasuki-sama. This one is Asako Ryo, son of your honoured host, Asako Naokuni-dono," he gave a bow.

Chiruha gave a glance to her younger brother before looking back to Nishida with a warm smile. "It might have been but it doesn't seem right to have left the game without a prize. As the daughter of our honoured host, as my brother put it, I feel it should also be my responsibility that you leave our events in good hospitality!"

"Then I accept the gift with joy, Asako Chiruha-san" he said playfully and bowed. He gladly accepted the Orange Robot. "I'll take it to be a reminder of our time here."

Then he turned to Ryo.
"Are you participating in the miai, Asako Ryo-san? I hadn't seen you before, so forgive me if i haven't paid you the necessary attention yet.

Ishiyo blinked and shook her head, there was a moment while her brain played back the fox's speech slower. Then she nodded, "A pity the Otori are not available off world? I would not mind riding one back home. Though I am sure it would infuriate fatheh's gardneh." She chuckles at the thought.

"IfIcouldtakeDasshuhomewithmeIwould. Ithinkhe'dlovetheforestonInari'sCradle."

If he could eat non-fungal food that is. Izumi hadn't thought much on that issue.

"Inari's Cradle?" Ishiyo smiled, "Looking forward to returning to you-eh homeworld after all this?"

"I'm glad you're willing to accept my gift, Nishida-sama," she smiled softly with a bow and took back the red robot, pocketing it in her purse.

She turned her attention to Ryo and smirked, "Hai...Ryo-san here would be my younger brother. I know his height and mood might dictate otherwise. He helps out around the colony in maintaining drones."

Ryo glanced to his sister and nodded begrudgingly in agreement. "Yes...but no, I am not participating directly in the miai, although my current duties do have me aiding the administrative duties in the affair and wherever our father needs me. I've been mostly standing out of the way so that you and my sister can enjoy the proceedings here. I take it that you've already known each other for a while?"

He put the small Robot away. "A pleasure to meet you then. And yes, i have met with Chiruha-san a few times over the course of the miai. So you share the passion for drones with your Sister, Asako Ryo-san?"

He nodded.

"Thisplaceisgreatandall, buttheforestismissingsomething. Foxesandsquirrelsmostly."

"It would have been nice if you were to also seek out other members of her family, as we do exist, "Ryo kept his neutral court face on the matter. "Drone maintenance and piloting is something I do to help out around the colony. The existing models perform their existing duties well enough."

"Well, maybe we would have tried to find you but we didn't know which field or acre you could be found playing baseball with your friends," she shrugged with a smirk.
