all my competition saying what we gon' do

Oh, well that wasn't half as interesting as she'd thought it might be. She glanced away from him back to the fire, the pale of her eyes flickering orange as she gratefully took in the warmth it emanated. During her very brief stay in Iga she'd come to quite like the idea of living there, of marrying some high-born lord who'd teach her the ways of his people. She'd painted a pretty picture in her head, bathed in autumn colours as she hung off the arm of a man who'd treat her right, a treasure to be honoured and valued above all else. Obviously it didn't work out, and her fairytale ending was quickly tossed aside, all thoughts of fitting in and being accepted as a "true" koi were dismissed, like they'd never really mattered to her at all. There were always more happy endings to pine over, this had simply been one of many that did not come to pass. For better or for worse, she could not know.

"It's fine, easy mistake to make." She said, though it was more of a knee-jerk reaction than based upon her honest feelings. As for learning the language, well it wasn't an understatement to say she couldn't care less at this point. Fear of missing out was one thing, but doing something that required a lot of time and effort? No thank you. Hanako wanted a quiet and easy life, she wasn't going to go out of her way to take up challenges if she could help it. "Ah, thank you for your offer but I'm sure you already have enough on your plate as is. What does Sirius have you doing?"

Old diplomatic habits were hard to break it seemed, as a digging question slipped easily from her tongue, all kind and casual as though she was holding out an olive branch. As if she wasn't bitter enough to want to snap it in his face.
