"My, my, someone is a cynic. Where did you came across this philosophy my dear? I thought Rokugani disliked gaijin stuff."
He commented.
"But I'm shocked. I have bought a white horse and all in order to become your Prince Charming. Do you mean I should check if I should cancel?" He teased her.

She let out a short laugh, one that seemed remarkably genuine compared to some of her other half-hearted peals of amusement.
"A white horse? What good is such a specimen when your family name has been dragged through the mud, Mister Charming?" she teased back. "Rokugani love is too, I don't know...too predictable? You've got your inevitable betrayal, or your loyalists, or your forever-unrequitted ones--oh, those are reaaally common, especially among samurai."
Chiyo wanted to tell him about some of the novels she has read, but that was...probably not worth bringing up. Ever.

"There is also the one where the beautiful maid marries a barbarian." He joked. "Her family name was also dragged into the mud me thinks."
He shrugged.
"Political marriages are a reality everywhere. If my betrothal with Reiha-sama didn't work, I would probably marry to a princess from the Senpet Empire or the daughter of a Yodotai general."

"Yeah," Chiyo hummed, kicking more softly into a slow drift. "It seems like it was completely inevitable for you. It's a pity, really, but I understand the importance of marrying smart. The best you can hope for is that whatever feelings exist between the two of you are mutual. Unless you detest one another--that would be awkward."
The prompt Tarik mentioned in jest actually sounded like this one novel she read a couple of years back. "Was the maid an Asahina? Asking for a friend." Which even in the tone she put that, sounded like more of a joke than an attempt at truth.
