[Mie-Lin]

[Chu-Mei]

[glow=green,2,300] The fox returns with a message ties to it's neck.
Chu-Mei reaches down for the message[/glow] Domo brother thanks yous for fast returns

[glow=green,2,300] As Chu-Mei reads the message a grin spreads slowly across her face[/glow]

We am ALL summoned to entrance hall even you Human. This am NOT a summons to take lightly. Kitsune follow now please...[glow=green,2,300]

With that Chu-Mei stands and leaves the tea house[/glow]

[Mie-Lin]

*mie lin follows closely behind her sister*

[Miso]

*Miso darts upstairs, leaving a trail of bubbles, and quickly re-emerges covered in his kimono, and darts out the door after Chu-Mei and Mie-Lin*

[Chu-Mei]

* One of the foxes returns and in a shimmer turns into a greenskin and holding a small bottle fills the tea house with bubbles*

[Slave Overseer]

*Two slaves enter the Tea House carrying a very bloody Nathaniel. The stop in surprise for a second at the mass of bubbles, before pressing forward towards the stairs. One of them calls out towards the back rooms of the Tea House*

The Entrance Hall is in need of cleaning, and the young Master's guest is in need of a physician.

*They take Nathaniel upstairs, and carefully deposit him in one of the rooms*

[Miso]

*Miso enters the Tea House, and stops dead in the door way*

OH

MISO'S

VIXEN!!!!!!

BUBBLES!!!!!!!! Thousands and millionses of bubbleses!!!!

*He leaps into the room and spend the next thirty minutes running and jumping through the bubbles, grabbing at them as the are blown around by his energetic entusiasm and occassionally snapping at them with his teeth, before collapsing exhausted on top of one of the tables*

Miso exhausted, but Miso am never having so much fun!!!! Miso needings drink now!!!

[Mie-Lin]

*mie-lin pad sin to the tea house and freezes when she sees the mass of bubbles*....what...*there is thud as she hits the floor*

[felicity]

Felicity walks carefully down the stairs, gazing at the sea of bubbles, and the bedraggled Miso on the table then carefully approaches Mei-Lin on the floor.

"Little one, are you alright? Slave, bring sake and a cloth and while you are about it, see that the gentleman upstairs is alright too."

Felicity picks her way carefully across the room, scattering bubbles as she walks to the corner where her cloak hangs. She opens the inside of her cloak and produces several small vials and containers from a hidden pocket.

"Slave, take this to the gentleman upstairs and tell him to drink it all, it will ease his pain though perhaps now he will be less truculent in his manner"

Felicity places the remaining vials into her pocket and walks back towards Miso

"Miso my dear, I trust you are recovered now, perhaps you would explain to me why the bubbles and why Mei-Lin appears to be overcome"

[Miso]

*Miso stuggles to get himself upright*

Bubbles

*chuckles to himself as a grin spreads across his face*

Miso not knowing where bubbles am coming from, but they am sure fun to play with.

Mie-Lin am not liking bubbles Miso thinking - she am being scared of bubbles Chu-Mei am makings at surface Gathering - maybe she am having "Inflato-phobia"? And she am fainting when she am seeing all bubbleses in Tea House?

[Mie-Lin]

*mie-lin slowly wakes... but on wakeing, and seeing all the bubbles faints again...*

[felicity]

Felicity giggles to herself as she picks her way through the bubbles to lift Mei-Lin from the ground and carries her to one of the seats. She picks out one of the vials from her pocket and opens it carefully. She waves the vial under Mei-Lin's nose and waits for the smelling salts to take effect.

"Miso, it is very amusing, of course, but perhaps it would be easier to sit and enjoy some tea with fewer bubbles in the Tea House."

[Miso]

Hai

*looks very sullen*

Miso thinking it am time to clear bubbles away!!!

*half a dozen slaves emerge from the back rooms armed with various mops and brooms and proceed to chase the buubles from the main room into one of the side rooms, where one hangs a sign which reads Cleaning In Progress*

[felicity]

Felicity seats herself in a corner of the Tea House and takes a small bottle from her pocket.

"Miso, perhaps you would care to sample a surface liquor, made from honey, it's quite a pleasant drink I developed a taste for"

[Miso]

Ooooo, doumo. Miso lovings trying new surface drinkses.

*reachs out and respectfuly accepts the bottle from Felicity, and purs himself a small glass, before handing the bottle back again with a bow*

What am this called?

*raises glass to lips and takes a sip*

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! How am this made? Where am this made? Where Miso get more?

[Mie-Lin]

*the salts take thier effect and mie-lin wakes up, then tenses looking around for bubbles, and on seeing none relazes* few me am glad they gone, oh konichiwa Felicity-chan! me am not notice you, me am sorry for rudeness *mie lie gets up and bows and seats her self again*

[felicity]

"It's known on the surface as *mead* wonderful stuff, very warming on cold nights and equally good when added to another surface delicacy, cake"

Felicity smiles at Mei-Lin and offers her a very small cup of mead.

"It's also quite a restorative"

Felicity smiles at her foxkin friends and produces a small round box from which a subtle aroma of mead, spices and fruit wafts into the Tea House.

[Mie-Lin]

*sniffs the mead* me am thinking that Vas of am Rea'Morda am giving me this. me am remeber it am very nice!
*mie-lin sips the liquid* oooo, yea it am think Vas give me! hehe and that apprentice to Zental gave me some as well.. they say it am what surfacers bestest at *she grins*

[Miso]

*Stands up, and bows to Felicity and Mie-lin*

Doumo for mead, Felicity-chan.

Miso going for exploration, Miso be back in few days - Mie-lin, you am telling Chu-mei for Miso?

*darts out of the Tea House*

[felicity]

Felicity stifles a small yawn, inclining her head to Mei-Lin

"I believe I really should get some rest, my apologies I believe I will retire now"

Felicity stands and gathers her belongings before making her way to her quarters
