[ It should ring a bell considering everything else she's told him, but he's not exactly on the up and up with French history. Queen Marie somehow does sound right though. ]
Banjou. Ryuuga Banjou.
[ He's not trying to sound cool and James Bond-y with that introduction, it's just what feels natural. ]
[ Chatting made her forget about her wine and that's a pretty good thing, all things considered. It meant she had been honest the entire time without the need of alcohol. ]
Good about what? [ She feigns ignorance, chuckling. ] We only talked a bit, didn't we? If it made you feel any better, then we ought to do this more often.
[ Certainly overly honest whispering would not have led to as pleasant a conversation as the one they ended up having.
And if even Ryuuga can see past your act, it's not a very good one. Though it doesn't seem like she's trying that hard. He crosses his arms, nodding slightly. It's a strangely closed off gesture for someone who is honestly finally letting just a little tension go from his body. ]
[ He nods his head in what is almost, but note quite a polite little head bow. It mostly just looks like a half-assed nod. ]
You too.
[ Though he already admitted to not having friends here, so he might as well just stick around for now. At least the atmosphere is a little less heavy than before. ]

[ Marie kind of figured he was from the East, but japanese is a nice discovery. She knows loads of japanese Servants! ]
Either way, I'm pleased to meet you. I hope we have these pleasant chats some more in the future!
no subject
Yeah, me too.
[ He glances out at the trees, suddenly realizing he'd been pretty distracted from his moody reminiscing by all of this. ]
You're good at stuff like this, huh?

Yeah, we should.

[ With that said, she'll pack the food she didn't consume and then stand up, fixing her dress and hat. ]
I must go now. There are some others in my world I would like to catch up on. It was extremely nice chatting with you, Banjou!
