[pureyang]

Oh? Is your intended recipient also not here?

[Chongyun tilts his head a little bit. He might not be noticing the way Susato tenses, or notice any nervousness around the topic. He is a little oblivious to those kinds of things, unfortunately.]

[judicialassistant]

[ It's good that he's oblivious! She shakes her head, seeming almost relieved that he misunderstands. She will only all too happily clarify. ]

He's here. He... He has been here longer than me. I am just... [ There's a notable pause here. Some animated hand gestures as Susato tries to force an answer to come out, but in the end, it's just: ] waiting.

[pureyang]

Waiting?

[Chongyun blinks, quite clearly confused.]

Is he perhaps too busy to receive it?

[judicialassistant]

[ Susato shrugs, innocently. Sure, let's go with that! But fine, she'll clarify further. ]

He keeps himself busy. But it is more that... I am waiting for the right time.

When it is, I feel like I will know.

[pureyang]

Ah... I see. You are waiting for an auspicious moment, then?

[Chongyun nods, considering.]

If you would like, I do know my clan keeps track of auspicious dates. Things such as moon signs and constellations to bring forth good fortune or avoid calamity. If you are looking for an appropriate time, perhaps I could research something for you?

[That's... probably not 'the right time' that Susato means, but. He's trying.]

[judicialassistant]

[ She stares at him, mouth hung open for a moment, but her expression seems to melt. He really is too sweet. ]

Oh, Chongyun. Please don't worry about me at all. I promise your clan's research is interesting on its own merit, and I should love to see it.

Until then, please try to enjoy the festivities.

[pureyang]

[He feels like he might have missed something, but she seems insistent... so he nods to her.]

Very well. I will do my best. I hope you're able to enjoy the festival as well.

And I hope you're able to find a good time to read your poem to your intended.
