Summary : Shoka joins Reishin's family for dinner, and finds himself presiding over a discussion on sizes and names.
Time-fit : After Sickroom.

Koyu nodded earnestly, swallowing his mouthful of food.
"Yes, I totally agree about acquired tastes. I would not have thought that I would develop a liking for milk. And now, I can't get enough of it!"

Having said his piece, Koyu shoveled in another mouthful of rice, not picking up on the sudden silence in the dining room.

Reishin, his chopsticks suspended uncertainly above his bowl of rice
Saiunkoku Monogatari and its characters belong to Sai Yukino.

Uh, no, in the fic, Shoka doesn't actually do any measuring! ^_^
He does preside over a discussion on sizes though.

The reference for the instrument in Shoka's right hand is the micrometer screw gauge.
No, it is NOT used to gauge how well one screws!

The micrometer screw gauge, as well as the calipers (stuck in table to the left of Shoka) are instruments for measuring "small distances".
