Takahashi responded to Mika, "Well, there the same ole, same ole". He tried to seperate the family away from the tavern, it was no sense in creating more problems at the moment as she already had so many. 
Takahashi smiled and went around the counter and asked, "Are you here for a drink? A stay if you will?". He went around to the other side and washed his hands as he was awaiting her request.
Takahashi poured her a glass of a pale lager then down a tall Pint glass. Then he asked, "You look beautiful tonight, may I ask if there is an occasion?". Once he finished pouring her glass he stood to the side leaning on the counter.
Takahashi chuckled and said, "I guess so". Still standing to the side he said, "So what brings your around these parts at such a late hour, it's not usual we have customers this late". It was one of the best parts of his job, the conversations, he had heard from prostitutes, murderers, nobility, and so many from around the commonwealth but no matter who they was, usually they had a pretty interesting story.
Takahashi still smiling said, "yep, if you want peace and quiet. There is plenty.......and I mean plenty of that here". He stood silent for a second and all that could be heard around the room was the cracks and crackles from the fireplace. Then he went on to ask, "So ma'm, if you don't mind me asking. But what is your profession?".
Takahashi chuckled a bit and sat down on down on a barstool behind the counter. He said, "And what is this anything?". He was clueless as to what/if she was hinting at anything, and curious to find out. So he unwittingly pressed a bit.
James is usually a talker when he can be found, on the other hand, Jack doesn't make idle conversation but constantly plays and sings stairway to heaven.....almost everyday. At first he was almost driven insane by that song, but he had heard it so many times now he had learned to tune it out completely.
Takahashi waved her off as she left and said, "good night ma'm, I do hope you come again".
