"Hello Nitta-sama! My name is Tora, and Serena is my onee-sama!" Tora greated with a low, humble bow.

"It is very nice to meet you, Tora-chan. You know, Serena was my little sister when she was a maiko." Nitta smiled and winked at Serena while returning the young girl's bow.
"I do hope that she is passing her skills on to you. She barely needed my help at all in becoming a geisha." Nitta gave a dramatic sigh. "There was hardly anything left for me to teach her!"

"Yes, she is teaching me well, Nitta-sama," Tora said smiling. "I feel I'm getting the hang of things," she added.

Mizu smiled, and introduced herself also. "Hello Nitta-sama, I'm Mizu, in your Dance class? I'm sorry I was late the first day, it was the same day Serena-sama made me her imouto-chan..." She blushed at her explanation, hoping it didn't sound too much like an excuse.

Serena smiled at Nitta.
"Oh stop, Nitta-san. You are going to get me blushing again. Anyway, still think of you as my onee-chan,"Serena grinned.

Mizu glanced from Tora, to Serena-sama, and finally to Nitta-sama. It felt strange, and yet comforting, almost like they were a whole family. Nitta-sama had been her Onee-sama's Onee-sama, and she and Tora were maiko to Serena-sama...it was all very confusing, but comforting all the same. Mizu smiled brightly. "Ne Nitta-sama, could I pour you a cup of tea or sake perhaps?" she asked with one of her shy smiles.

Nitta grinned at Serena, quickly covering her smile with her sleeve. She then turned to Mizu.
"Hello Mizu, it is nice to see you again. A cup of tea would be fine, please. I understand that first days are sometimes hard to get to, I just wanted the students to understand that in the future, I will not always allow tardiness. But you seem to be coming along well in class!" Nitta smiled.

The junior maiko blushed and humbly bowed her head to everyone, "Arigatou, minna-san. I think Kyoku-sama is right . . . I'm just feeling rather tired since this is my first big party. Thank you for your encouragement." Iyasu looked to the head Geisha of her okiya and smiled to her.

*as yet another cupful of sake is in his hands, Jusu softly smirks while shaking his head, deciding that this would be the last cup he'll drink this day, then starting to lift the cup while sipping it down*

Mizu blushed brightly at her sensei's words of praise and explanation as she delicately poured a cup of tea for the geisha. "Hai Nitta-sama, and thank you for your praise, I am not certain I deserve it," she said, her cheeks warmly red. Setting the pot of hot tea back upon the table, she kept her eyes respectfully downcast, her hands delicately folded upon her lap. I haven't been so praised since Mother passed away... she thought to herself, her blush ever deepening. Will my cheeks ever be cool? It was a constant lament of hers, though she admitted, to herself alone, that her mother's habit of blushing had been one she had envied as a child. Not so much now... she mused silently, amused by her recollection.

'How do you go about getting an older sister?' Yokome asked 'I still have no clue how to get one' she said while smiling, and then she took another sip of her sake.

Serena caught a hint of Nitta's grin, even behind her sleeve. Then Serena put a comforting hand on Mizu's face.
"I am sure you are doing just fine, Mizu-chan! As to your question, Yokome, usually you look to the head geisha of you okiya for guidence,"Serena explained.

Himeko's head jerks up as she wakes up appearently falling asleep at the table, ((in real life I think I have sleep-app-knee-ah sound it out I have no idea on how to spell it, basicly it means you snore, and that during the night you stop breathing and then start again, yes it can kill, so everyone would notice sweatdrop , but himeko doesn't)) turning she notices Aishiko standing in the doorway, rotates around and bows to her, feeling very much the cornered animal looking in to her blue eyes.
"Can I get you a sake or some ocha?" she asks while lowering her eyes trying to blend in to the surroundings of the tea house.
((Sorry I've been gone so long I've been sick. crying sweatdrop ))

Tora sipped on her tea as she watched and studied her Onee-sama, Serena. She was so graceful and beautiful and refined. Tora's eyes widened, "EVEN THAT FUMBLE LOOKED GRACEFULL!" she thought as the tea pot decided to shift in her hand. It didn't even look like a fumble the way Serena handled it. "That takes true skill. Nitta-sama trained her well and Serena-sama must still practice, even if she doesn't need it."

Serena caught Tora looking at her from the corner of her eye. She sent her young maiko a sweet smile.
