A Minister's Bar

[Emperor Tekagi]

Sanae chuckled at hearing this tale. The Core had been an oddity in her live, always. Usually due to the individuals who worked for them, less so due to the organization - yet it made 'sense' in a way to hear about such attempts by them.
"I could never get behind the Core and their understanding of logic. Undermining the Order's influence while risking total fallout with a house? Weird. But they're a shadow of the past, quite literally, so who cares."
She emptied her glass and decided not to refill hers for the time being. She was already feeling a little tipsy, having always been a lightweight when it comes to booze.
"Oh, distractions-distractions, I don't know? I've thought about.. just normal things, day trips to a beautiful island, sightseeing, a shopping tour? Tourist stuff, but not the usual tourist spots. Unless you have.. other ideas?! I mean, you've never been to my mansion too, right?"
She sounded amused, a sly smirk on full display - though she noticed someone she knew entered the bar. The owner. She did not feel like talking with him this day, but he was usually reserved when Sanae was in here with guests and did not meddle into her conversations then. Yet the owner being here meant it was well possible other political figures could follow.
