Sayoko's here.


[Private to Lyall]

Can I ask you a favor?

Yay for jumping!

[naturaltwohands]

Drizzt smiles to her and bows in turn; he's learned enough about Japanese culture that he can do it properly! Not that it's hard to do. He even makes sure to end his bow after Sayoko's.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Sayoko... san?" Drizzt glances to Tachibana for a moment, as honorifics are still somewhat of a mystery to him.

[peaceintheworld]

She nods at his tentative efforts at politeness, in the hopes of letting him know that he did get it right. "And you too... Drizzt?" Though she does trip over his name. It's not perfectly pronounced, though she's determined to get it right the next time she needs to use it. "It's good to meet more of Tachibana-kun's friends."

Her eyes then flick back to the panther. "And this must be...?" She does not even attempt the name, that time.

[naturaltwohands]

"Guenhwyvar," Drizzt supplies, and he does appreciate her trying to get his name right; she'll get it soon enough. "I know are names are quite unusual; I don't expect you to get them at once."

[triggerhappytraitor]

Tachibana nods. "Even when you're used to wide range of languages, the moment other worlds come into it, there's an entire new level of sounds to work out," he half chuckled, pulling over a chair for Drizzt and a bench for Guenhwyvar to lounge on.

[peaceintheworld]

Ooh, that is a mouthful. "And I thought learning English was hard..." She laughs a little, and sits back down. "I'll learn. There's so much to learn, it looks like."

[naturaltwohands]

Drizzt will find a seat and Guenhwyvar will sit nearby him. "It never ends, I must warn you! There's always something new to learn.

[peaceintheworld]

"So I'm getting the impression! I've already seen some amazing things." She laughs softly, curling her hands back around her mug of tea. "Just... just being here is amazing. Was it the same for you...?"

[naturaltwohands]

"The technology from 'modern' times is particularly amazing to me, yes!" Drizzt reaches over to stroke Guenhwyvar's head once she realizes the bench is made for her and hops onto it. "Moving pictures that have sound! I never would have thought such things could exist."

Movies. He's talking about movies. Which he knows the name of, but you know.

[peaceintheworld]

"That would be amazing, wouldn't it?" Drizzt's delight is so bright and earnest, she can't help but love to see it. He really is from somewhere fantastic and foreign, isn't he? "Although for me, it's the things like having a giant panther as a pet that seems incredible. We're... lucky, to get to see these things, aren't we?" Among other reasons to be lucky to be here.

[naturaltwohands]

Full of strange creatures and races. And this place has given him much to be happy about. Certainly, he was almost destroyed at the loss of his father--but he knows that there's a chance of rescuing Zaknafein still, along with his stepmother. That's what keeps him going--and the many friends that he has made here.

Drizzt smiles to Guenhwyvar, a loving and endearing look. "Lucky to call her friend, too. She has been with me for decades now."
