She stands in front of the futuristic, metallic doors that gate the entrance to the bar. Nothing had perplexed her more recently than this woman, Anna Aurelia. Most things have been a blur lately, so she can't even recall the first time she encountered her completely. Realizing she didn't even note the experience within the reporting channels, she facepalmed. 'Not good for making a nice impression', she thought. Catching herself in the act of ignorance was something that greatly disappointed her. She promised herself to visit Tenryu-ji for a moment of meditation and respite the next chance she got. But now is not the time. Today, she has to square away the business she has with Anna.
And so she entered the bar as the doors hummed their usual whir, sliding open to beckon her forth. Immediately upon stepping in and being recognized, every Dragon present within Shishin stood from their seats and bowed deeply, saluting her. She does the same in return, and greets them all pleasantly before dismissing them. To Anna, who hadn't yet seen this side of her, it might've looked like she's done this dozens of times before, and that assumption would be correct. Tsuya turns and walks towards the bartender to place her order, but Anna was too far away to hear them. After roughly a minute of conversing, Tsuya finally strides to the booths and tables of the bar/cafe combo and spots Anna already seated. 'Of course I'm late', she figured, and hoped she didn't keep Anna waiting for long.
She takes her seat across the table from her in the opposite cushioned bench, and gently smiles. "So, you know exactly why I've called you here. You need training data for your android and AI, and I'm willing to give it to you as well as a place here to do your research as you please. But you should know, that a smart leader never takes someone in like this for free. I also desire something from you." She says as she casually leans back into her seat, and graciously slides her left leg over her right to cross them. "But, let me hear precisely, down to the last detail, what it is you need to train your AIs."
