Agreed! Conversation takes place in Japanese (unless otherwise specified), but written in English
"Good evening, Goto-dono," Takeda replied with a bow before she stepped across the threshold and into the room. Her murderous eyes swept over the room, taking in the modernist decorations. Truthfully, she was actually very fond of them, she liked the asymmetrical glass and steel, the clean lines, the spartan feeling. It would contrast so wonderfully with wabi-sabi. Nevertheless, Takeda wasn't pleased to see that Goto had not only already made the tea, but that she was using the western furniture as well.
Nevertheless, to frown would be to dishonour herself, and so instead Takeda simply paced over to an empty spot on the floor, removed her killing sword from both the shroud of obfuscation as well as her obi. Sinking into seiza upon her floor, she set her sword on her left rather than in front of her. A clear sign: it would be clear to draw if it was needed.
"I do have questions," Takeda conceded, "but I have learned that often those questions are best answered when one does not speak, so I will humbly listen."
