[Indeed he did. Hearing Cu's voice, Takame turned to face him. He only approached just enough to be polite and heard clearly. He would say nothing about the cigarette, but the distance he stood said enough that he didn't care to be around it.

He nodded.]

I did. I assume you're aware of why I called you here. [As he spoke, he dipped into a slight bow.]

But since we are rid of the Fae for now please allow me to introduce myself properly. My name is Takame Kesi. I pray as well that you'll accept my apologies for my rudeness by the castle.

[He rose his head again.] We've not had the opportunity to speak long, but I have made my decision if it is one you will accept as well. I have a few questions I would ask you, but I will answer whatever questions you have for me before we move forward.
