[magic is becoming too commonplace into this country, isn't it?
it is a thought that lingers for soo-won as he continues the rest of the meetings and preparations that he has to make for the day, because it would appear as though an intruder suddenly appearing in the courtyard is still not enough to convince kye-sook to allow him to stall on the rest of his agenda. given the increasing tensions with the surrounding kingdoms each day, soo-won supposes that there is no particular reason to disagree.
yet as the day stretches to evening and he receives the report from kye-sook, he only nods - and decides to give this matter his full attention now that nothing else competes with it. dismissing his advisor, he moves to enter the room. not alone, not technically. his bodyguards keep a watchful eye on him wherever he goes, but they are hard to detect as usual. even so, he feels assured in his safety.
though he cannot help but be taken back when he finds that the intruder is - apparently - a young girl.
- not that it provides him any particular solace or comfort. after all, is it not the whims of young girls that have rocked this country and surrounding lands lately? he wonders if the one in front of him holds the same fortitude and intensity, or if the interaction they're about to have will be easier.
(but not necessarily easy. he is not so deluded to think that.)
his expression eases into a smile, easy-going and kind.]
Good evening. You must've been waiting a while. Hopefully your needs have been attended to thus far.
[as attended to as an intruder could be, he supposes.]
If I may - could you state your name and business?
[perhaps the guards at the door won't make conversation - but he will. easily, and without missing a beat.]
[because it's really not that hard to get her to talk if you ask simple questions, kye-sook! there's no magic forcing her to hold her tongue, now. logically, it might be better to not brazenly announce that she's here looking for someone; what if lili hasn't told anyone of her experiences at the camp?
...buuuuut also, flayn really can't imagine lili keeping secrets for long, either. she's always been a very straightforward, honest person. she probably wouldn't like it much if she managed to find her by deceiving people.
besides, honesty is the best policy. it's probably fine.]
My name is Flayn. I was looking for a friend of mine - Lady Lili An - but I appear to have gotten a bit lost...
["a bit lost" is an understatement, but frankly, she's still not sure how she ended up here instead of anywhere else in kouka.
(it's probably because of her lack of attention to detail.)]
