Tora smiled and drank more of her tea. She refilled their cups and drank some more. "So, Serena, how would you like to go back to the tea House with me?" she asked with a smile. "Everyone's there! I bet they'd love to see you!"
((OOC: We can say... if you do... we can say it was when you entered the Tea House. ^_^))

"Sounds like a wonderful idea, Tora. Though I probably will not really know anyone there,"Serena replied, drinking more of her tea.
((sounds good))

"Yeah... so much has changed," she said, but then smiled. "Change is sometimes good, though, is it not?"

"Yes, change is very good. Like the seasons and everything else that changes, things around here had to change as well,"Serena nodded her head softly.

Tora smiled and sipped the last of her tea. "So, are we ready to head out?" she asked.

Yuri dragged into the okiya from the teahouse. Her body was exhausted and felt like it weighed 1 ton. as she leaned up against the wall in the entrance she slid out of her getta and managed to shuffle up the stairs to her room where she took off her kimono and make-up,then changed into her cotton yukata and plopped down into her futon falling asleep instantly.

Tora entered the okiya and removed her shoes, slipping into her house slippers. She walked upstairs after a long day and began to get undressed and remove her makeup for the night.

'I'm all most there,' Karasu thought. Her feet pounded on the cobble stones leading up to one of the okiyas that lined the streets. "Once I'm there I'll be safe..." She whispered. Her pointe shoes that had been in a good strong knot around the fabric strap of her duffel bag slipped to the ground, she quickly turned and picked them up.
'There! I see it!' She told her self when she read the Japanese characters. Karasu jumped into the forward splits and landed a few steps from the door. She walked up regaining her composure before knocking on the door. "Hello? Hello?" Karasu began to fear all inside had begun to fall asleep and wouldn't hear her knocking.

Tora removed her make-up and dressed in her bathrobe, walking down to their private back. Filling it with hot water and a lot of soap to make bubbles, Tora sank in, letting out a long sigh. She began kneading her sore feet and shoulders.... just as she was about to fall asleep, she hear the bell chime, meaning someone was at the front door. After it rang a few more times, it dawned on her that she was the only one home. "Oh!" she gasped.
Tora jumped from the bath and ran to the door, almost sliding in the water that dripped from her body. "H-hello?" she asked, a slight giggle in her voice, and a blush forming over her face at the realization that she was just in her towel.

Karasu jumped when the door finally open, "Uh, sorry." She bowed quickly. "My name is Karasu, the new maide that was told to come here." She explained. Gestureing with the pointe shoes in her hand with out realizing, "um...My aunt was the geisha Yokohana...She's the one that directed me to this okiya." Her fingers fiddled with the ribbons of her toe shoes.
"Are you the Okiya okaa-san?"

"Ah, no," she said with a chuckle. "I'm the head Geisha here, Tora," she smiled. "Although I should be Okaa-san here," she added with a mumble, rolling her eyes. "Anyway, welcome, Karasu-chan! So, you're Yokohana's niece? Very pleased to meet you!" Tora smiled. "Please, come in," she said, stepping aside.

Karasu fallowed after Tora into the okiya. "Yes," She replied to the mention of her aunt,"she saw me dance in my ballet class pagent and begun suggesting the geisha life for me."
As they entered Karasu's eyes fell upon a clock, "Oh dear. Is it really that late?!" She asked staring at the clock. "I didn't know. I'm so sorry." She said her hand covering her mouth. "I knew I should have left from Russia earlier."

"Russia?" Tora asked, shocked, her jaw dropping. "Oh, dear child! No, it's okay. No hour is too late for a Geisha," she smiled, reasuring the girl. "In fact, I was just getting home and bathing," she laughed. "Come, accompany me!" Tora waped her arm around the girl and led her to the baths. "It's been dreadfully quiet around here."

Karasu set her things down and fallowed after, "Yes. Russia." She answered as they walked to the bath. Hearing the 'quite around here' caused her to take note of the fact that there really was no one there. 'Is the world of the geisha truly falling apart?' She asked her self. Feeling a sadness in her chest.
"I didn't know that the world of the geisha had withered away this much..." She said out loud to the geisha.
