[Nahyuta is following his usual evening routine, in the midst of tidying things away in the lounge and kitchen before his evening meditation. When Rayfa approaches, though, the interruption is not an unwelcome one. He stops to turn to her.]
I-- [He's about to protest once again at 'Braid Head', but it's too late in the evening for an argument, so he thinks better of it.] ...I am your humble servant as always, Your Benevolence. How might I assist you?
Ah, how wonderful. [It's easy for Nahyuta to school a smile and act like has no idea what's already being planned. He has more than enough practice of feigning ignorance from back home.]
How many guests would you like to invite? Accounting for your friends here, and those from our realm, perhaps our apartment is too small.
[Don't think he hasn't noticed all the people you've been befriending, Rayfa!!]
[Thirsty for Rayfa getting one year closer to the tall bara dream.]
Then why don't you leave the arrangements with me? [As her regent, arranging her party would have been his duty back home, after all.] And if you have any specific requests, be sure to let me know.
[ rayfa actually brightens up, pleased with the response she received!!!! this is probably the first time (that isn't in the artbook) that she looks pleased with him. ]
Truly? Then... Then I shall write down the names of my guests for you, and you shall invite them! [ so excited!!! ]
[Nahyuta's smile becomes a more genuine one in return, glad to see she's so happy.]
I will ensure each of them receive an invitation, [The ones that haven't seen Dhurke's invitation already, at any rate,] and ensure you have a suitable venue.
If we were to have a banquet as well, what foods would be your preference?
We once spoke before of sashimi, so I wish to serve that in my celebration. Some traditional Khura'inese dishes, as well. But I wish to eat mostly foreign food.
[ she nods, placing her palms together to clap once. ]
action. the party confusion begins x-(
Braid Head. Surely even though you are busy, you are able to listen to my request.
[ why is she so demanding... ]
action. i'm ready

[ she looks so smug about it too. ]
I wish for your assistance in invitations and finding a location. Unless you think our home is suitable for this event.

Thank you, Nahyuta!
[ WOAH did she just say his name?????? ]
no subject
He's so caught off guard by that, he just kind of blinks at her, before he finds his voice again.]
... You are welcome, Rayfa.
[He can do names too if she will. Does this mean she doesn't hate him after all?!??!]
no subject
[ she smiles at him and bows her head, showing respect and dashes back to her room.
it looks like she hasn't noticed what she's done in the midst of her joy. ]
no subject
[He inclines his head in return, and as she heads back to her room, he's radiant with happiness -- quite literally.
Seeing how excited she is only makes him more determined, wishing to ensure her surprise party is the best it can possibly be.]
