Though Yotsuyu herself only put a single lump in her cup, she doctored Lusamine's so that it was light but not too sweet--and so that the cream and sugar would not overwhelm the delicate jasmine flavor, either. At least she was used to such things. Wicke, at least, could help herself--as she'd done, and Yotsuyu offered her a smile.

She set the cup and saucer down before Lusamine, adding three almond cookies to the saucer. "I suppose you have done all the delegation that you are able? I have made myself ready to depart at a moment's notice on my task, and have read up on the information I have been given."

Far be it from Yotsuyu to be remiss in her duties!
