Did I come under the radar again by posting on a Saturday? Yeesh. Well, to give this bump some substance, have a morsel from the next snippet.
“And what of you, Grandson?” said Seto. “It is not like you to
linger in the backdrop like this.”
I smiled. “I'm trying to give Tenchi room to be his own man.”
“Heeehhh?” said Funaho. “And what will you do once he is his
'own man' as you put it.”
My smile never wavered. “Then I suppose I'll just have to build
myself a nice, cozy home in the boughs of Tenju. By the way, where's
Misaki-sama?”
Seto grinned. “She is dealing with the Protector of Ryuten.
Apparently she feels he hasn't been doing his job well enough to have
let shenanigans like this gone on right under his nose, as it were.
Honestly, she would love to be here to meet you, Grandson, but as you
may understand, this is an affront to her as the Head of the Imperial
Bodygaurd.”
I nodded my head sagely. “I see. Grandmother, would you be so
kind as to relay to her my sympathies? I myself find few things so
much more irritating than a colleague's incompetence.”
Seto chuckled. “I am certain she'll appreciate your sympathies,
Grandson.”
We've all been there... that lame futhermucker whose neck you want to throttle, screaming in their face about how they're causing rework for you and everyone else. :p
