"Hisakata, Lady CHiaku." Hisakata felt a bit uncomfortable while her governess was trying to say her name. "And this is Xue-Lien." HIsakata smiled. "WOuld you like to come in, Lady CHiaku?" Hisakata asked, standing aside and holding an arm out. Her other hand was on XUe-Liens shoulder who was bobbing up and down. "Hallo!" Xue-Lien waved and walked around CHiaku. "Hihi!" Xue-lIen exclaimed again, stopping and walking back into the teahouse.

"Ah, yes, it'd be more comfortable to speak inside," Chiaku agreed as she passed Hisataka and entered the teahouse. "I apologize that I haven't had an opportunity to visit you before this. Your establishment is a wonderful attraction for Astora Village, and I should visit it more often...Unfortunately, time constraints have made it difficult for me."
Chiaku was truly embarassed by her prior rudeness, and now attempted to account for it by apologizing.
"There's...another resident here, correct?" she asked. "Another woman and her fae child? Are they also home?"

Hisakata closed the door gently behind CHiaku and smiled. "It's no problem CHiaku, and thank you." Hisakata smiled and followed Lady CHiaku. "Yes there is another woman, and I do believe she has a fae child too." Hisakata nodded, and stroked Xue-Liens' head.

Paine sat down on her bed in the inn. It was a small room she got, not a huge one like other people might get, but a manageable one for her. She put her suitcase on the floor and took out the piece of paper she wrote on earlier. She wrote a line under her previous note and put: "Found shelter". She then tapped the pen against her lip again. "Hmm...maybe I should meet some villagers?? Maybe get more aqquainted to this place." she throught as she closed her door and went outside.

As she examined the interior of the teahouse, Chiaku allowed her mind to sift through various thoughts, glancing at Xue-Lien from time to time.
"Ah, Ms. Hisataka," she said after moments of silence, "I would like to speak to both you and the keeper of this teahouse privately, if it shouldn't be too much trouble. Is there something that could occupy Xue-Lien during the few minutes of our conversation? Perhaps she could play with the other child while we speak?"

((Scratch other post, I can't edit it))
Paine stood outside of the inn. "Hmm...well, here I go" she said as she went inside. She set her suitcase down against the wall and looked around. "Uh...Hello? Anyone here?" she paced around the room. "Can anyone can help me??" she said nervously.

Hisakata held a puzzeled lok on her face and nodded. "Well I guess, I'm not sure where the other fae child is so just a second." Hisakata bought Xue-Lien to her room and pat her head. "Xue-Lien, do you want to go look for another fae child in here? You can talk to her that way and have fun!" Hisakata exclaimed hugging Xue-Lien. Xue-Lien grew excited and nodded. "Okay!" Since Xue-Liien loved socializing she tiptoed around the house looking for Linnea. Hisakata went back downstairs and waved to Lady CHiaku. "Okay than, so what's the matter Lady CHiaku?" SHe asked curiously.

Taking a seat in the eating area of the teahouse, Chiaku cleared her throat before speaking. "Ah, perhaps we could have some refreshments?" she asked politely. "Do you have some tea available?" Perhaps she could prolong the conversation a bit and wait for the appearance of the other woman who inhabited the premesis.

Paine was pacing around the inn, wondering where everybody was. "Uh..hello? Anyone here?" she called out. There wasn't a response. "Hmm...I wonder where is everybody? I'll come back here later..." Paine said as she walked out of the inn and onto the streets yet again. "Maybe I should find someone to help me out..."

"Oh sure!" Hisakata went to the table in which she prepared tea and started make some green tea. "Would you like something to eat too Lady Chiaku?" She asked as she made some green tea.
Xue-Lien walked around the the rooms looking for another fae. "Hallo?" She asked looking around the place.

"Something to eat?" Chiaku repeated, snapping out of her thoughts. "Ah, maybe a little snack then?" Perhaps some simple cookies or dried crackers would be sufficient. She truly hadn't dined at the teahouse very often and wasn't quite certain of the cuisine it offered. "Sometime simple please, Ms. Hisataka." She didn't want to force the young woman to have to spend time to prepare a meal since their conversation was of priority.

Sai rushed over towards Paine and bowed apologetically. "Welcome to the Inn! How may I help you?" She smiled wide at the new customer.
Meanwhile Kizzy's butt was wiggling along with her spines in glee.

SailorM4ev Sai rushed over towards Paine and bowed apologetically. "Welcome to the Inn! How may I help you?" She smiled wide at the new customer. Meanwhile Kizzy's butt was wiggling along with her spines in glee. Paine bowed back to the girl in respect, but couldn't keep her eyes off of Kizzy. "A girl with spines?" she thought. "Thats something you don't see everyday...". She snapped out of it and looked at the girl. "Hello, I'm Paine. May I please stay in a small room if its not too much trouble?" she said, smiling.

"Alright then, I already got some soup warming last night, it's still good.It'll only take a few minutes to warm up." Hisakata bought the two cups of green tea to the table than she went to the kitchen and warmed up the soup. She took out a bowl and went back to the tales. "It's spicy, do you mind?"

As she took the warmed soup from Hisataka, the governess shook her head with a smile. "Spicy? That's not a problem at all. I'm a fan of spicy cuisine, in fact," Chiaku replied.
Glancing around, she saw that the teahouse keeper was still nowhere in sight. "Ah, allow me to ask a simple question," Chiaku said after blowing some steam from the surface of her soup, "have you seen the other fae child? Not your own, but one who...is more blue in coloration. Does she seem as though she's in good health?"
