"I decided to stay silent because I have nothing left to say about any of this. You know pretty much whatever you'd like to know that's useful to you.."
Allura looked to the window and let her eyes focus on the different compounds instead of looking at Mitsunari. A lot was going through her mind and she just wanted it all to quiet down and give her the peace of a silent mind.

Mitsunari nodded and stood from his sitting position on the couch. he snapped his fingers and the young girl entered the room once more. Quickly she scurried in and bowed lowly to him.
"You called Master Mitsunari?'
"Yes, summon Fuwa. Its time for Lady Nakane to return to her room." He informed her.
"Yes, sir." She replied bowing to him again. She rose and quickly left the room via the front door of his office.
Mitsunari turned his attention back to his company then turned it toward his desk walking toward it. He sat down in the chair opening the desk draw to his left, lifting out a cigarette and a small silver lighter. He lit the cigarette and took a long deep drag off of it. He exhaled as the smoke circled around his head. he then slid the center draw and pulled out, and concealed, under his palm, a syringe.
"Tell me Lady Nakane. How are you sleeping at night?"

Allura could feel something off but didn't quite know what, she turned her head and followed his movements carefully. She frowned as the smell of the smoke made it's way to her.
"I'm sure it's obvious in my appearance that I haven't, aside from short naps here and there that last 10 minutes at most."

"Hm, that is a shame. We will need to fix that. Maybe a private room of your own. Maybe that would help. Of course you will still be behind locked door and window with a guard, but the privacy and no disruptions of the others would help in this area." He tucked the syringe into his sleeve and remained seated at his desk while he finished his cigarette.
"What do you think?" he looked to Allura from behind his desk.

"I don't see why I require some sort of special treatment." Allura's words left her bluntly, "I understand you want me at my best, but I doubt it requires that."
"Well then, we can leave you in general population if that is what you wish." He chuckled, "less work for the men and more play time. They will appreciate that."
"Honestly, it's your decision what to do with me." She gritted her teeth at her own words, "Whether you have me alone or with the group, I'm sure they'd find ways to harass me, am I correct?"

"In all honesty they are to leave you be unless you get out of line. It seems that is not an issue with you. Which is good on your part. Though I am sure if you were with Sayoko or your dear friend Makino we would see a whole a different side to you."
He turned, looking out the window, seeing Fuwa crossing the compound with Fuu at his side. He started speaking as he turned looking at Allura once more. "Though I am rather interested in what Makino believes what happen to you and her sweet darling roommate."
"I thought you knew all that information." Allura retorted rather snidely.
Mitsunari chuckled at her comment. "There is the side of you I was told of." He chuckled again, "it seems our informant that was placed in the Academy is being detained. He has not reported in some time now."

Allura was going to question what else he knew but was distracted about the news of the 'informant'.
"You had someone working from within the academy?" Mitsunari smirked to her, she knew she was playing into his hand but didn't care, "Who?"

"That's one thing I will not allow you to know." His grin remained. "Just know he was very detailed with his information. How do you think we knew you were in the market when you were."
"I figured you had people watching... I just didn't think it was anyone within the academy." There was something in her tone, as if she was thinking of everyone she had met or that had entered the academy around the time this started, but no one came to mind.
"I have people everywhere, my dear. Even in the Gotei." Mitsunari informed her.

Allura went to speak but as she did there was a soft knock on the door then Fuwa entered with Fuu alongside him and she immediately shut her mouth. Falling back to the silence that she had taken before coming here.
She knew she couldn't fall into what he was saying so easily, but there was always the 'what if' behind it and she hated it. She let out a soft sigh and looked to her hands, letting herself feel defeated.

Smiling benignly, Fuwa bowed as Fuu scurried away from him to her back room to wait for more orders. He chuckled at the meekness of Mitsunari's newest child servant and rose with the same enigmatic grin. “Did you have an enlightening discussion with our princess, my lord? Or did she remain quiet and poised?"

"She was rather enlightening and very delightful company." He rose from his desk after putting his cigarette out in the nearby ashtray. He stepped toward Fuwa stopping in front of him but slightly at his side. the two were turned from Allura, out of her direct line of sight as he slipped the syringe from his sleeve and past it to Fuwa.
"You know what to do with this." He spoke softly to him for only him to hear.
Fuwa nodded and took the syringe from him slipping it into his own secret hiding place.
At that Mitsunari stepped away from Fuwa toward Allura. "I think we should give Lady Nakane a private room." He looked to Fuwa from the girl. "She claims she has not been sleeping well, and we can't have her looking a mess and weary when the clientele come to visit." His eyes drifted to Allura then back to Fuwa. "Now can we?"

Fuwa nodded slowly. “No of course not,” he responded. “That would make her wonder if we were taking care of her, and that would make her little friend quite mad. It could be quite a handful.” As Aullura let out a low scoff, his eyes shifted to her, but she had already schooled her expression.
What a shame.
But then his smile turned into a smirk. “There are the rooms on the opposite end of building she’s staying in for the ladies being ransomed or have been chosen by one of our clientele with specific instructions. I can leave her there. It is quite rare for noise to travel to that side of the house. And there’s a garden outside of the windows.”

Mitsunari nodded his head slowly, "that will work wonderfully for her. The same rules still apply to her so you make sure the guard there is clear of them." He looked to Allura and smiled, but spoke to Fuwa.
"Damaged goods will not bring us top yen for the young lady." He turned toward his bedroom making a path toward the door. Stopping he turned as his hand rested to the handle to slid it open.
Bowing shortly to Allura he stood with a smile across his lips. "Have a good rest of the day, Lady Nakane and I hope you sleep well in your new accommodations." he slid the door and disappeared from the office leaving the two of them to their own.

Allura rolled her eyes at his words and stood. When she got to the door to open it, Fuwa reached it first and opened it for her. She didn't say a word as she walked past him and down the hall they had come from.
She wanted to get far away from where she was, even if it meant going to her own solitude.
"You know.... this is a different kind of quiet," Fuwa stated and then leaned close to her ear. "Did he say something that scared you, princess?"
Allura jumped some and quickly stepped away from him, she had stopped walking and she narrowed her eyes at him, "I'm just tired of talking and there's nothing I have to say to any of you."

Fuwa stepped back from her and his eyes glittered. "Well now, it seems he wasn't mistaken after all, our informant that is." He laughed as her grey eyes narrowed further at his words. "There it is, the 'fire' in your soul, so to speak." He walked forward and in a smooth stride, trapped her against the wall and his body. "I have to congratulate you on keeping quiet as long as you have. It's rare for a free spirit here to manage to do so in such a short time. But I have to wonder, is it the surrounding, or is it natural, Lady Nakane, a part of your costly upbringing as a noble who doesn't bloody her hands?" His hand came up, stroking her cheek. "It's intriguing and unfortunate at the same time."
