Kyuden Shika

He wasn't really sure he needed tea, exactly, but he'd enjoyed his prior visit, so he figured he'd give another go.

And ordered the Akina again.

As he sipped at the tea, he looked around the tea house.

Nice and quiet.

Yoshi has returned, doing his best to continue to drum up business, making aside comments to the staff as he makes himself a fixture.

"Oh yes, tea imports are certainly something that there is call for. Believe it or not, there are stories out on the Burning Sands that there is a demand for an entirely different hot beverage. They let berries rot, and then roast them before grinding it into a powder like matcha. It's incredibly bitter, compared to our tea but it seems they go crazy for it."

Yoshi notices Clan colors and bows. "Greeting Phoenix-san. Have you had your rice today?"

"Inari has been most forthcoming..."

Wait, I know this Minor Clan! And they only have the one family!

"... Kasuga-san. This one is Shiba Raizo. Enjoying to ambience, or more... purposeful in your visit?"

Yoshi does his best to be pleasant but not overly deferential.

"Daikoku has a knack for making purpose and pleasure one and the same. At least for me Shiba-san." Yoshi looks around. "I do hope that I am not bothering you"

"Not at all, Kasuga-san."

Whatever the hell your personal name is.

He held up his teacup.

"This doesn't require much focus for me to appreciate."
