The wine that filled the glass Sequoia was a nearly perfect one, greatly blended, floral, with perfumed jasmine that dominates the bouquet. One could say that with some time in the glass the wine gains richness as the flavors turn decidedly riper and almost tropical and that ripe apricots, passion fruit and peaches emerge from this flashy, opulent drink. Sequoia just noticed that it was remarkably tasty, not the casual drink even around here, but an addendum to the welcome for the unusual guests which she and Hikari were.
At the same time Enzo's effort to clear the air was completely successful and Sequoia fidgeted around, chattering to Enzo who played the role of master here convincingly, to Eiten who appeared to be a little bit strange from her point, to Hikari, appearing to comment on the stories told by others from time to time.
