"I do not frequent 'nightclubs', as I have no interest in prostitution of any kind, but I must admit the oiran are extremely well-dressed..." Geisha are the peak of culture, fashion, and class in his time. While Rokuro has scruples with the their skinship services, he does appreciate their music and artistry in a non-sexual fashion.

For all that nobility judge the red light district, it is they who mimic the geisha, and not the other way around, so he's going to take Tech's comment (almost completely out of context) as a great compliment.

"These shoes are interesting, are they not? It is known that taller people are seen as stronger and more dignified. Ordinarily, I find high-toothed geta difficult to walk in, however these are quite comfortable." He says that now, beginning to walk with a silken gait. Give him a couple hours and Rokuro will likely have many different words for the modern torture device known as a 'heel'.

"You appear acceptable, and it seems they are allowing anyone into this celebration, so I suppose we will go largely unnoticed regardless." Or so he assumes. How is Rokuro supposed to know that pants without sides aren't the norm here? Ventilation is important for everyone.

"I do hope they have rice wine. What is your preference in terms of liquor?"
