GC Tea House

[Shikyo]

*Having spent a few weeks on Station, it was apparent to her by now not a single soul either really knew her at all, or no one cared any more, especially with the growing number of strangers on Ainu.*

*Shikyo silently enters the Tea House with the stealth of one who had been trained to be seen and not noticed. She looks around for a moment, taking in the locations an activities of everyone currently in the room, especially that of the Cyborg and another Stranger eyeing each other strangely.*

*She walked over to the far end of the bar and reached past it since the barkeep appeared to be missing to pick up a small bottle of the mans finest Sake before she turns and retreats to a corner table. Pulling aside her kimono so she can kneel properly and with the corner to her back, she looked around once more before setting the bottle on the table, and pulled out from the hidden folds of her kimono several small cups, placing each one at the remaining three sitting places for this table.*

*Glancing around once, she noted one young lady retreating towards the entrance to the tea house, then waits a moment until the young Lady looked back into the room. Shikyo gestures slightly to indicate one of the empty cushions at her table, a silent invitation to come sit and drink with her*

*Taking her time she uncorked the bottle of Sake and pours some into her own cup before replacing the bottle in the middle of the Table for those sisters who MIGHT remember who this Sister is and join her.*

*Before she takes her drink, she remembers one more thing and removes the long plain Katana she wore and sets it down on her left side in easy reach, leaving the wakizashi in its place tucked under her Obi. She only then picks up the cup and takes a small sip, savoring the finer taste that of the drink that is served here rather than the excuse they call Sake in the places she had been while working as a deep cover agent for the Sisterhood.*

*She had heard about some Holovid Reporter had been "brought" to Ainu, and rumors about what had happened to him after her Elder Sister saw him and left him to the mercies of the other Sisters, and then later to IronWastas. That barely makes her smile, but it is gone before anyone else might notice.*

*After setting the cup down on the table again, she takes another look around the Tea House, getting a better look at everyone, making mental note of where they might be from, any name tags if they are worn, unit or flight group insignia's if work...all manner of small details she looks for in those she does not recognize, which is most of those here tonight it seems. IronWastas of course she recognized, as was the Sister drinking and talking with another Visitor over by the bar, though she only knew Her by name on the Flight Roster.*

*She takes a quiet deep breath before letting it out slowly, half closing her eyes to wait patiently for any of her Elders to come to her since she did not know where they were and would not be so rude as to possibly interrupt them if they were doing something important, considering the one Elder she did see appeared to be busy at the moment with some one else.*
