[ While the Nishikiyama Family's importance in the Tojo Clan has grown, Mine has settled into his role within the family. Among the members are many who accept him slotting into the rank below or right next to them. That he has the funds to do so is reason enough, after all every man under Nishikiyama's name finds himself reaping the profits. They're politics Mine's familiar with.
However, he isn't in a position yet to approach those high-ranking men like Shimano and Kazama at will. This is an opportunity. What group he's with is easily answered by his lapel pin, if not his bowing to Nishikiyama. ]
Yoshitaka Mine. [ The name is for the other patriarchs to hear, same as his well-wishes. He lifts his head. ] Congratulations on your success.
[ There's praise and pride in that and some of it is, secretly, Mine's own. It's him, more than anyone else, in control of that cash flow and it's insider knowledge that the financial gains coincide with his arrival, but taking credit away from his patriarch is unacceptable. Instead, Mine has found slivers of what he came for. Beyond hierarchy he's discovered camaraderie in an unlikely relationship. They share a few things, not last time together. ]
If it's appropriate, I'd like to arrange for a celebration.
[ Between the lines, something better than a bar or a club. The look in Mine's eyes is hoping to meet Nishikiyama again where his had gone to the back of the room. ]
