A smile remains present on Miko's lips 'pon hearing the woman's rebuttal, her tail further swaying to portray her enjoyment. Rather than approach any closer, she remains in her spot, becoming more comfortable ( and yes, enjoying the show). It's not often, or really ever that she gets to witness Ei train or fight to any degree and she'd actually be a liar if she said she wasn't interested.
That doesn't however, stop a warmth from flourishing her cheeks.
Nor does it cease her ears from rising from such truths that spew from the Kahemusha. Though certainly caught, she does her best to shrug it off and further lay upon the sill, violet eyes cast intently on each swing of the lance. "I'm not slacking," she says in an aloof tone, stretching her legs further. "It's simply time for lunch."
But yes, she is rather lucky but Saiguu and Makoto like her.
An excitement pools in her chest at her words, ears flicking as an idea pops into her minds. While the guards never catch her (and if they do, they often don't dare to say anything), she much has a better way to spend her time now. She hops down from her comfortable position, shifting back to her human form with an acute grin donning her features.
"Come with me," she coos as she steps closer. Though her tone is playful, Miko cannot deny the underlying hope that's residing just under. "You could use a proper break, 'Almighty Shogun'. Won't you have some tofu with me?"
Plus, this way she definitely wouldn't be lying to Saiguu.
The moment she hears rather than sees Miko hop down from her perch, the Kagemusha opts to abandon her naginata. A rack on the side of the room is home to various other weapons that she used, and striding over took only a few moments before she deposited the blade into its rightful place. Her kimono's top half sits draped around her waist, and under normal circumstances, she would be mortified that she was caught in such a state-- the wraps around her chest gave her a sort of modesty, of course, but she never appeared in such a way to the public.
Thankfully, Miko was not the public, and she found herself uncaring of her appearance in that moment. Despite this, Ei felt a warmth flourish across her face as she borrowed the fabric of her loose sleeve to wipe at the sweat on her brow. A sigh followed suit as she grimaced at the slightly sticky sheen coating a majority of her body-- Freshening up would certainly be on her agenda.
"Lunch? Tofu again..." She mumbles under her breath, shifting her arms to slowly pull the kimono back to its rightful place on her torso. Violet eyes lift to meet the kitsune's gaze, and the slightest hint of a smile tugs at the corners of her lips. "I suppose I can. After all, I'm sure you'll starve to death otherwise." A roll of her eyes punctuates her teasing tone, adjusting the obi at her waist as she made herself presentable once again. "Let me guess. You told Saiguu you were leaving for lunch, and not that you were coming to find me?" Despite Miko's conniving nature, Ei was always able to read her-- just as the kitsune would be able to read her, she was certain.
