Dear, dear... He really caused a stir this time. [Yukimura stands and offers the girls a graceful slight bow to excuse himself.] Apologies, von Aegir-san, Tachikawa-san. We've only just sat down. I had better smooth this out. Please enjoy the picnic.

[Unfortunate but necessary. He briefly looks down at Marui, who only gives him a thumbs up and a reassuring grin. Thank you, Marui. At least there's one thing he doesn't need to worry about.

He turns and moves swiftly after Niou and Sanada.]
