The scent of sandalwood was well known for it's relaxing properties, and this was quite nice incense. The pair sat in silence, partaking of the aroma, while the tea brewed. Once the tea was brewed and served, then did Reina deign to speak. "To be completely fair, Asahina-san, I've been wanting to ha...

Reina offered a seat, and set out a white tea, good for balancing the elements, sifting through the apologetic barrage. While the tea brewed, and the Asahina spewed, she set out an incense burner, and loaded it with sandalwood incense. Once the Asahina let her speak, she lit the burner. "Would you b...

The door opened. Reina had changed into enough layers for hanging around in her room, but still proper enough to receive guests. She smiled and to the Asahina. "Good evening, Asahina-san, please come in." she offered. The room was well ordered, and smelled lightly of incense. "Please, won't you join...

Kakita Reina entered the tea house, brushing the loose wetness from her cloak. She looked about, and saw a Unicorn sitting alone.

She approached and offered a bow.

"Would you mind if I joined you for tea, Utaku-san?" she asked pleasantly.

Reina chuckles a bit.

"As they say, 'Fall down seven times, get up eight.'" she quotes. "I would suspect your time is coming. Maybe not tomorrow, but your time to shine will come as long as you keep trying."

Reina shakes her head.

"That seems unlikely, Shiba-san. You seem rather tough, and unlikely to break down even after a very long time." she counters.

Reina seemed genuinely pleased by the Seppun's offer. After a gm-bandwidth saving montage of the game of gifts, she accepted the beautiful flower. "It really is a lovely bloom, Seppun-san. I'm glad to know that you've been thinking of me since our last meeting." "I had to pluck it out. But I am con...

"Ah. Some Fortunes are kind with me, since I barely deserve much praise. Especially after my poor display of skills lately. I expect to change that soon, anyhow." He raises his eyebrows and then bows to Reina again. "Thank you for the care of asking." Then, after moment, he produces a plucked orchi...

The young Imperial takes steps toward the Topaz Champion and bows. "Kakita-sama. I hope Inari-kami has been kind." Reina excused herself from the disagreable Oharu to offer a bow to Yuzu. "Ah, good evening, Seppun-san. Indeed Inari has." she offered, glad to talk to someone pleasant. "I hope you ha...
