Under the Emerald Sky

[Ninkurra]

Among the many dragon visitors in the bar was one lonely figure. She was apparently shunned as she sat alone slowly emptying a bottle of wine. Tsuya would also recognize her. To the probable surprise, the senior heiress of the Tekagi clan sat in the bar of probably the most protected planet in the sector and it looks like she was not here with a diplomatic mission or any other. She was dressed very modestly, almost like a refugee. No clan heraldry or expensive decorations in her wear. Does this mean that fate has turned its back on the Tekagi clan once again? And why she is here?

The waiter approached her without bowing, trying not to even look at her eyes, although Aiko didn't seem to care much. She said something, seemingly making an order, and then returned her tortured gaze to the empty glass.
