She nodded and tapped her left thigh three times with her fingertips. “You know, this is the first public facing thing I’ve done that isn’t related to executing some part of my job. I’m still second-guessing my decision to participate but I know that it’s something I need to do for myself.” She had told Nurse Shrine as much. “And hopefully I won’t need the escape since Jones told me he was going, but I’m glad I have the option if I need it, so thank you.” Even if she ended up with some complete stranger, that actually would be fine with her. It was just knowing she had people there who would do what they could to make it less awkward for her. It would give her more confidence in what was really a ridiculous situation if you thought too hard on it.

He nodded at her signal, and then said “Good. I trust that the Mr. Jones will be a gentleman should he be fortunate enough to win the contest for your time.” and he went back to reading. “Oh… I was unaware that Ms. Fen would be participating… interesting. I certainly hope no one thinks she is offering more than her culinary skills. The last person to make unwarranted advances on her after she had previously declined lost their hand halfway to the elbow.” His tone was dry and flat, so it was very hard to tell if he was kidding or not.

Eela smirked. “I can believe it. And I do think that the whole set-up has been very heavily prefaced with the fact that this is about sharing the community with each other.”

She sipped her coffee and her tone became more thoughtful. “And I’m not worried about Jones. He’s far too respectful.” That moment in her office where he was serious about not wanting to cross a line or push a boundary where she didn’t want it to be told her everything she needed to know about him as a person.

Kenzo nodded and said “Good. I will tell Ms. Fen to stop sharpening her wakazashi.” and then sipped his coffee. “I am hoping the event is successful. I know it will help, but if it does well, it will encourage more of such events. I can say that Oed becoming known for its ability to give back to it’s people would be a solid stone upon which to build a reputation.”
