The Tea House

[Kazumi Madoka Kage]

*kazumiwatches her human man servant leaves, then slips from her table, pulling her gloves that have the clan symbol on it tighter round her fingers, and heads for the exit, her face full of thought*

[Hiruma Zaigo]

*opens his eyes from the meditation he was in, and looks around, bowing to anyone who glances*

*he then pulls out a piece of parchment and writing implements and begins to write*

[felicity]

Felicity stands and stretches. She picks up her bag and replaces the small jar of honey and the bag of tea.

"and now, my friends, I think it is time for me to take my leave"

Felicity smiles at all in the Tea House

"I will, I hope, meet with you all again soon"

Felicity leaves the Tea House

[Chu-Mei]

Ah....Zaigo you am well yes???

[khyron]

the tall dark and heavy set figure of a man marched to the tea house his leather britchs and top marking him as a wester as he reatch for the door it slids open and a young girl woman is standing there smileing she try to keep the smile as her eye falls on the mans face . she bows and wecomes him in asking if he wish to partake of some tea and if he wish to hear some music . the man nods and sits cross legged on the floor still getting used to doing so ever after all these months he looks up as the woman returns and smiles as she pours the tea for him is there any thing more that i can do for you ? . theman picks up the small bowl his finger like iron holding it gazeing into the tea he slowy sip the tea letting it tast fill his mouth then looks up at her

could you ask the noble lord miso to join me for tea my lady *place the bowl down on the table* tell him khryon wishs to speak with him and share tea with him and ask him about his sword as i hear a strange tail about it and would like to know more . *the lady nods* i will go and send a boy at once my lord *she bows then step back leaveing the man to his tea and his dark cloud over his head hopeing that miso has not did something wrong yet again

[Miso]

*The Tea House doors open, and Miso, dressed in his usual black kimono, enters. He walks to where Khyron is sat, and bows*

Konchiwa, Khyron-san, Miso beings told you am wishings to speak to Miso?

*Miso sits opposite Khyron, and signals for more tea*

Miso beings told you am askings about other sword - it am beings lost in attack by demons. Daichi am carryings sword, and am chasings single demon in dark, and when other Kitsune am catchings up, him am on floor, unconcious, and everything he am carrying am beings gone, except armour.

[khyron]

*khyron gazes into miso eyes for a long time * (hey lol i been working too hard to get on) and then nods* i see i thought i had been a better teacher to young daichi i thought i had got it into that young head of his that one thinks before acting that speed is not alway the best thing i am glad he did not come to harm i would not like to lose another so soon after *he stops and lower his eyes not wanting to speak her name because of the pain it would bring to him then look up again* you know what i mean i not good with words

indeed as he is not harmed i think i will instruck our young warror in a few little drills in swordmanship and how not to lose a weapon and more not to lose one of my own . i will be kind miso he will still walk ... after some bed rest and some tender loveing care i alway thought that pain is a very good teacher when it comes to these things and he does not have a mate so he will not miss it and they can do some much now in the healer guild i just finshed there last report they sent out on sticking back arms and legs

now to other things i was thinking of joining the armours guild and learn to craft weapons or armor and as i have need of new weapons *there a small nose as the bow he hold cracks in his hand* and i was wondering how much such things will cost like joining and the cost of hireing there forge to craft items or to reforge items?. i could not hope to replace my swords after all they were gifts from the chaos gods warp weapons are hard to find but i hope in my small way i will learn to make something i can use and some day come close to your skill as you are a master of the craft

[Kazumi Madoka Kage]

*Kazumi entres and heads to an empty table, she places the bones daggers infront of her and orders sake, Zetsume waits for her to nod him to sit next to her where he also orders more sake*

[Zarame Haibane]

The second male drow enters behind Kazumi and stands behind her while she sits, meanwhile the human servant stands near the entrance on the right side of the doors, his blade at his side and his head looking directly downwards, keeping his mouth shut and his eyes half open.

[Kazumi Madoka Kage]

* kazumi motions for the other 2 sit with her, as they head towards the table a beauitful jade green bird bursts through the doors and flys round the room, kazumi looks up and smiles as the birds settles on her shoulder and rubs it's golden break through her equally gold hair, she reaches up to stroke it, but she notices the parchment on it's leg, and takes it off instead and reads it, then smiles

she then whispers*

about time

[Zarame Haibane]

The male drow sits quietly as Kazumi silently instructed and the human soon follows, he placed his sword down by his side, handle nearest his hand and kneels tucking his knees under the low table head still low down, his free hand resting on his lap.

[Kazumi Madoka Kage]

* kazumi looks straight at Zarame withthe piece of parchment in her hands*

it seems you have made friends in the Geisha House human, one of them has requested your presence there as soon as you get this message... it must be important as the geisha mistress herself has signed it...

*she pauses for a moment*

i hope you haven't insulted one of the geisha human, becuse the geisha guard do not look kindly on insults, now begone.

[Zarame Haibane]

Both of Zarame's eyes widen and he lifts his head looking at Mistress Kazumi trying not to show his confusion.

''Yes...Mistress Kazumi''

He slides back and stands lifting his blade as he does and bows, walks around the table and leaves the Tea Room quietly.

[Slave Taskmaster]

A male Drow officer steps into the entrance area.

"By Order of Clan Kage the City is sealed until further order. This is an internal matter and will be dealt with accordingly"

He places a notice exactly echoing his proclamation.

With this done he departs at speed.

[Miso]

*Miso approaches the Tea House, his usual black kimono slightly disheveled, and his fur stained with soot*

*Miso reads the notice on the door, and stalks away muttering something about having word with the regent*

[Slave Taskmaster]

The same male Drow Officer arrives looks at the note and mutters under his breath.

"Usstan gotfrer uss lotha klez."

He takes down the note and replaces it with another.

`Clan Kage apologises for the incompotence of this former Officer and wishes it known that The Tea House is open for normal service.

As an additional way of apology the individual will clean all persons footwear if they so wish`

With this done the Drow takes out some brushes and cloths and gets settled for a long session.

[Miso]

*A very happy Miso is seen approaching at high speed, and bowls past the drow and into the tea house*

BATH!!!

*He rockets past the stunned servants and hosts of the tea house, upstairs towards the Tea House's bath chambers, from which very happy, tuneless singing can soon be heard*

[kobayashi]

*kobayasahi walks in and takes place upon one of the tables, he speaks to one of the staff*

"I believe Nathaniel has made arrangements for a room for me?
could i also get some ramen and some tea..
and one more thing, it is my understanding there is a meeting comming up soon which many nations chall be attending, would you happen to know the whereabouts of this and roughly how long it would take to travel there?"

[Zetsume Sassato]

*Zetsume moved into the room behind Kobayashi almost silently, the shadows seemed to move with him, only the white of his dark eyes seemed visible in the darkness*

"Not long" he spoke before the worker had chance to answer, "The Gathering draws closer, every beat of your heart is another step in time towards it. My advice would be to prepare now, I would offer for you to come train with me but I can't say that my mannerisms are too socially appealing. That and you look weary after your travels. If you should need me, I'll be here; though you wont see me unless you ask"

*Zetsume then turned and left the tea house. The shadows licking at his feet*

"Remeber, just send for me, If you don't need me though, I'm sure our paths will cross at the Gathering, friend"

[kobayashi]

"indeed they may, i could do with a...friend"
*he closes his eyes, smirks. Interesting people he thinks to himself*
