A few hours earlier Brahms* had docked in Stuttgart and told no one but Hex where he planned to go. As he stepped out of the transport he had hired, walking into Ainu, he knew there was no turning back.
The "Shrine of the Goddess".
Not long ago he had made contact with the Chrysanthemums - trying to make sure another part of his past would not haunt him any longer. Since he often operated so far from Kusari space, however, he had little to no interaction with any of them, nor their allies. Now, with the House's relations with Rheinland starting to boil, he needed to change that. If things were to go up in flames once again between the two of them, he was sure it would be even harder to know the group whom he believed had begun opening his eyes.
Secretly, however, he feared he would meet Outcasts here.
Reminding himself of the rules and with the past knowledge of Kusari customs at his side, he moved into the first area after leaving in the changing room what little he had brought with him - documents, credstick, a communicator and a spare set of clothing.
Wearing one of the provided robes he looked towards the fountain in silence, making the same gesture ones before him made, halfway unsure if he should await guidance from the ones present before moving forward.
