Makoto didn't know whether to laugh or balk. Thankfully, years of training as a diplomat kept him from doing either, and his mind raced. There was a chance that the swordswoman was joking, and so it was important to respond with humor. However, etiquette dictated that he complimented her for answering his question regardless. He could only think of one reply.
