"There is not." Touki said evenly. "I think perhaps that if I devoted my efforts to earning a position, I have the skills necessary to do so." A brief grimace.

"Oh she's very pretty. For a Daidoji." - Random Doji courtier.

"Oh?" Touki's eyebrows went politely up. "Allow me to offer you congratulations, then." He said it without much enthusiasm, but then, betrothals were so often routine. "May I ask to whom you are betrothed, miss?"

His forehead creased, just a little, as he considered her words. Was there some doubt as to whether her betrothal would go forward?
