The Drunken Salamander, Freeport 18

[Midori]

She extended her hand to shake his, "Christopher Dangen, it is pleasure to meet you."
Then, she re-folded her hands on the table.
"I pass this way often," she explained, "on my trips home to Honshu. Between Honshu and Gran Canaria, their not much."
She then sighed. Turning towards the window, she looked out and then back at her guest, "view of clouds so nice here."
She sighed again only this time, she wore a straight face as an old memory passed.

"I remember when I was little girl, my brother, Kentaro, would fly me out to see these clouds, long before I could fly myself. I would beg him even when he was busy but he always found time to take me out. Clouds as beautiful now as they were back then."

She turned towards the window again, looking out, "I miss him," she said out the window before turning back to her guest, "I miss him deeply."

She then went silent as she took a drink of her wine.
