The Geisha House

[felicity]

Felicity awakens and stretches. Shaking out her long dark hair she rises slowly from the couch and smooths down her robes. She takes up her bag and casts her gaze around the Geisha House.

"It won't be the same here"

Felicity steps towards the door

"Hmm a nice cup of tea would help now"

Felicity leaves

[Zarame Haibane]

Walks through the dark doors and closes them behind him, clicking his neck to the side quietly and takes off the outer black jacket on his guardsmans uniform leaving the short sleeved shirt underneath still tucked into his hakama.

''This place is...just full of suprises''

Walks towards an empty table and seats himself cross-legged his outer black jacket on his lap and reaches behind his head removing the band holding his long red hair together letting it flow half way down his back and the sides drape over his shoulders ending at his chest.

[To'ryll Orbb Geisha]

*a set of large emerald doors swing open 2 servants run forward, one a tray with green cups on it the other with a parasol, emerald green with surfacer lotus picked out with black on it, they stand either side of the doors, as a beautiful woman glides through the twin doors.
her face unpaintede except for her baby blue eyes which are lined with black. her midnight hair split between a loose bun and just flowing freely, she wore a kimono in a blinding white, which trailed behind her slightly, on noticing she bow deeply and one she straightens up says..*

Greetings, i'm sorry we kept you waiting, how may the House of the emerald spider be of service?

[Zarame Haibane]

Blushes slightly staring at the beautiful woman, he stands letting the outer shirt drop to the floor and bows to her and winces slightly at the blinding white Kimono she is wearing and starightens up.

''Just some herbal tea....and perhaps some company for a mere human''

Smiles warily and bows once more.

[To'ryll Orbb Geisha]

*woman smiles at him, her blue eyes dancing, she speaks softly to the slave with the tray, who dispears behind a set of shutter doors, and then reaperas with a tea pot and 2 cups , he places the cup infront of Zarame and hten returns to his post by the door, the raven haired woman looks behind her and says something, and then a younger woman, not as beautiful as the first woman apears behind her*


I'm ashamed that i cannot be your companion sir, i'm must go pay my respects to our previous house mother, but i'm sure Akemi here will spend the evening with

*the black haired lady nods to Akemi, who bows deeply, her face is painted, but human coloured skin can be scene underneath the geisha mask, hey eyes a deep green grey colour looks Zarame over and then sweeps round him to pour him tea, she also wears a white kimono, but with a deep green obi around her waist, and an under kimono that is the same green, the girl then looks at her mistress as she leaves and then back at her companion, she speaks with a strong japenese accent*

So do you like it here my lord?

[Zarame Haibane]

Smiles and picks up his outer shirt seating himself cross-legged once more and watches her as she pours the tea, he is slightly entranced by her and shakes his head slightly.

''...I'm hardly a lord...I'm not even a peasant...just an often underestimated slave to my drow masters'

Sighs looking down at the table.

''But please...*smiles*..sit down and tell me about yourself''

[To'ryll Orbb Geisha]

*sweeps her kimono underneath her and kneels, her greeny grey eyes a mass of emotion but her face as still as a painitng*

Are we not all underestimated?

*she smiles, and suddenly a warm feeling settles over the pair and her eyes turn a beauitful shade of pale green*

I wouldn't know why someone like you would be interested in my life, i'm sure someone who has travelled with a priestess has had so many wild adventures

*she passes a cup to Zarame, and as he takes it her finger tips lightly brush against his, she smiles and returns to her own cup, waiting for him to drink before taking a sip her self*

[Zarame Haibane]

Blushes slightly and closes his eyes drinking the tea slowly, he opens his eyes again staring at her eyes slightly.

''Yes we are often underestimated, but please consider us equal, no lord business....just Zarame. I havent had that many adventures, i met the priestess about half a year ago, well my masters met her, all I do is clean up after them.''

Takes a silent pause.

''But yes, please tell me about yourself Akemi-chan was it?''

[To'ryll Orbb Geisha]

*she giggles to her self and smiles at Zarame, she sips her tip carefully, her eyes looking straight into his, with a dreamy essence to them*

yes it's Akemi, well i'm from surface Nihon... then misress Hakiru took me under her wing when i was lost on the surface, and i find myself here, with you

*she smiles again*
theres something about i like... an honour many of my clinets lack

[Zarame Haibane]

Takes another sip and smiles slightly not taking his eyes off hers.

''Lost?,...what about your parents...were they on the surface also?''

Coughs slightly turning his head and then turns looking at his tea, takes another sip.

[To'ryll Orbb Geisha]

*she smiles again*
i never knew them... you must cut all previous ties when you become Geisha, it's one of the many rules we have...

but please tell me about you, who you are

*she smiles again, and her stare seems to see right into Zarames soul, almost trying to see the real him, yet her eyes are gentle and loving*

[Zarame Haibane]

Stares back at her emotionless.

''My parents are deceased, killed by my eldest Drow master Aiglos Sessato and his family, we lived on the surface, Nihon. My father toiled away to the rice fields and my mother looked after the household.

I learned my kendo from the old masters at the village dojo. Yet I am still training, I am only 16 after all....too young to master it I was told''

Takes another long sip and smiles slightly at Akemi.

''Anyway I must say that is an enchanting Kimono you are wearing''

[Zarame Haibane]

Stands suddenly almost knocking over his Tea.

''I am sorry Akemi I sense I must go to the great hall''

Bows knowing business comes before pleasure.

''I had a great time, and I hope we can do this again at some point in the future''.

Puts on his over-jacket and turns leaving with haste.

[To'ryll Orbb Geisha]

*she rises gracefully and bows to zarame*

of corse another time then

*she waits till he leaves and then orders slave about the main room to tidy up the cups and pots, she then sweeps through the large doors she entered the room by*

[Zarame Haibane]

Opens the doors silently, walks inside a little emotional still from the Great Hall incident and takes his seat.

''This is going to be hard to get used to'' Talks to himself.

[To'ryll Orbb Geisha]

*a set of greeny grey eyes appears behind a pair of shutter doors, looking at zarame and then they disappear again*

*shortly after the main emerald doors are opened again and Akemi gracefully walks through the doors, this time wearing another white kimono with a green obi lined with gold around her waist, her face unpainted except for the black lining around her eyes.
you realise she is as beautiful as the first geisha you met without her make-up on.

Akemi sweep round zarame and kneels next to him, she then orders tea and smiles at him*

welcome back Zarame....

her eyes seem worried at the look on his face
what is wrong?

[Zarame Haibane]

Glances slightly at the new appearence Akemi has taken and blushes ever so slightly, averting his eyes he smiles slightly.

''It's nothing , but it's nice to see you once more Akemi-chan''

He straightens his posture and places his hands on his lap.

[To'ryll Orbb Geisha]

*she smiles at zarame*
as you zarame, it's nice to know you wish to come back here

[Zarame Haibane]

Smiles at Akemi.

''Well how could I pass the chance to visit such a divine beauty''

Smiles staring at her kindly.

[To'ryll Orbb Geisha]

i thank you for the compliment dear one
it has been a long time since one with such manners has graced our halls
*she smiles at you, as her eyes go a deep amber colour*
