Kiyasai ponders Mirana's current appearance and frowns deeply, putting the cup aside for a moment to give a more serious response. "I suppose I owe you a drink, and a long talk, Mirana.

She flags down a servingmaid and places an order for drinks, as well as bread and stew, along with some smoked meats to round off her own meal. "Formalities aside."

"But, my problems can wait, at least a little while I guess. What troubles you?" she asks.<br> <br>"The Creators never leave you in a hole without a way out. You just choose to stay in." Kiyasai's food arrives first, hot and steaming, and she decides to wait for Mirana's to arrive before tucking in. "Mine aren't so much troubles as a lack of confidence in myself. First week back in Firmament and already I've failed Kilsa and Selena. Both of them nearly died in that fight. I wasn't strong enough to do very much..." She sighs and shakes her head. "It is a personal problem. But I am sure that yours is worse. Do tell, if you want someone to listen to your problems."<br> <br>Mirana listens to Kiya and smells the normally very tasty food, but right now it just makes her stumach flip. She holds her muzzle a moment and swallows hard, "I see, I heard about the carts having to bring people back in. I wish I could have been there to help, but, I was ... well, it relates to my problem..." She looks about then leans in to Kiya blushing deeply. She whispers to the snow leopardess, and then looks down to her lap in a bit of shame. She fights back a small flood of tears, "Give ... me a moment please Miss Kiyasai, my ... emotions aren't completely my own right now." she explains as she buckles a bit crying a moment. Her food arrives and the starved noble is careful to eat proper despite the urge to just wolf it all down at once, smelling very pungent but Mira seems to savor it.

But when Kiya starts talking of ways to handle a kit and lists contraceptive and abortive medicians she whinces, as if in pain a moment, before leaning over to shush her, "Please!

Kiyasai says with her voice low and she shrugs, though she does lean over the table to hug Mirana tight. "Everyone comes out the better. Except probably the father." A hand is clasped over her heart. "By my honor. Nobody else will hear about this. But you can't hide it forever. Not someone with a frame like yours anyway. Either you nip the problem in the bud now, or you accept it."<br> <br>Mirana listens and takes the hug, returning it and holding tightly a moment, before her belly's rumble reminds her that this is the first food she's had all day. "Oh.. please excuse me, I've, not eaten today, been, lost in thought." She shakes her head, "I thank you for your discression, but... I don't think I could do that... this kit... my kit... it's my kit.. and it's a being, an innocent being.. I don't think I could if I wanted to, what would the Creators think of me throwing away such a gift, even if I wasn't planning to recieve it...?" She keeps her voice low and when done, digs back into the cabbage, ordering some brased pork to go with it, "And tea please... lemon tea, make it sour.. as sour as you can make it."<br> <br>"You'll get acid in the morning if you keep this up." Kiyasai drags her meal back in front of her and falls silent for a while, tucking into a piece of meat while she thinks up of a reply. Swallowing, she smiles. "Mmm. I wouldn't count it as a kit unless it's out squirming and feeding on milk. Right now...just by drinking silphium water, it'll be over before you know it. But I'll respect your decision." She seems a bit dreamy now as Mirana recites religious principles, and nods. "Plenty of ways to get a lifebonding that won't cost you your nobility. Doing the Church favors, for example. Or if the father has the money, he could always pull a few strings.  Not to mention all the Lords and /ladies/, and /lords/ and ladies." She stops to watch the vixen eat for a moment before continuing. "Anything's better than hiding from the rest of the world and starving yourself."

Kiyasai is at a table in the inn, staring at her empty cup and seeming very deep in thought. Every now and then she mumbles to herself.

Mirana finally comes down from her room, she'd been up there all day, not leaving to eat, to drink, nothing at all, and it seems the need for food is what finally braught the distraught noble fox out of hiding. She looks barely tended to, her tails and hair not nearly as well brushed as usual, and has a very plain looking dress on. She looks about once she hits the ground floor and heaves a sigh. Noticing Kiyasai, she gives a small smile and walks over to her with a curtsey, "Good evening Miss Kiyasai, might I take a seat here?"

"Yeah, sure." Kiyasai ponders Mirana's current appearance and frowns deeply, putting the cup aside for a moment to give a more serious response. "I suppose I owe you a drink, and a long talk, Mirana. I just haven't really been in Firmament at all, with official duties and all." She flags down a servingmaid and places an order for drinks, as well as bread and stew, along with some smoked meats to round off her own meal. "Formalities aside." The leopardess leans forward a little. "You don't look well. If you're not well, I can probably help you out."

Mirana looks to Kiyasai and gives a half smile, "Oh, I'm doing well, my ... physical health isn't in question, but, I've got problems that is to go without saying I suppose, everyone does. However, I do believe I've dug myself a deep hole this time." she says, to the servingmaid she corrects her order, asking for the fruit drink that Bite has been ordering of late instead of anything stiffer, as well as some warm pickled cabbage to go with everything else, then sits down. "But, my problems can wait, at least a little while I guess. What troubles you?" she asks.
