Haku nodded his head slowly. "Ofcourse we have milk. What else do we have cows for, apart from keeping the grass short and giving us meat." He smirked. He was glad the stranger was having a more happy aura around him after the washing break.
He went to the kitchen and got a glass of milk before returning to Kirus and placing the glass down on the nearby table. "There you go hun." He referred to Kirus as hun now, this was something he did to all the people he liked to be around. Apart from Seti. He always adressed Seti with 'love' much to dislike of him. Haku was always happy to see Seti snarl at him over his choice of name.

As they began the long stroll home, Pandora's mind was going a million miles an hour. Yes, she did have someone she was wanting to kill, but of course this person was impossible track.
Her own father.
Some people would tell her to respect her elders. And she's probably slay them too. As her thoughts shifted from one thing to another she nearly felt the long elegant Katana strapped conviently on the inside of her thigh seemed to burn a whole in her skin.
A trickle of cold rain landed on her nose and she flicked it off unconsciously. They were almost home, and she needed to practice, she hadnt had a real duel in so long.
((@mkatsi: xd Shes pretty quirky like that ))

"Its a pleasure to meet you Kirus" Takashi said retracting his hand. Perhaps he was wrong, but Takashi felt that nobody trusted a ronin, not even the english man. Takashi let this thought pass and started to think of the task at hand. getting a job. Takashi hoped that he could get one soon and that Haku would allow him to keep his sword on him. His daimyo had many enemies and many assassination attempts have been foiled by Takashi. Takashi was worried that some of his daimyo's enemy's may come after him. Maybe an inn isn't the best place for employment.

Upon arriving at her house, Pandora became utterly bored with the day. It was too hazy and dark outside to stroll about, she was too lazy to practice her sword fighting skills, and her cats were evidently, sleeping.
Yes this was definately going to be an anticlimatic day.
She flicked a piece of hair away from her face as she sipped at the hot green tea in her hands.
Maybe I should go to an inn? To get some food? Theres that one by the market that serves splendid oysters..
But she knew if she went out she'd have to take her bodyguards and that would cause a small ruccus. But if she went alone as a geisha..well that was risky. And then a truly amusing thought slammed right into her head.
I'll dress as a man!
The mere thought of herself in men's clothes made her giggle. So she got up and began to work, finding some charcoal gray fabric and sewing them into pants, then a black loose fittig kimono top.
This would have never worked if Pandora was very 'womanly' looking. She rubbed all the geisha makeup off her skin and put on a grass hat, making her hair so that it was half up, inside the hat, and half down, most men had long hair anyways.
She hurriedly put the clothes on, giggling all the way. And strapped her ornate katana to her side,
How good it was to not have it burning into her thigh!
Pandora envied men in that way, they had such freedom to whatever they pleased. She openened the sliding door and quickly ran out, trying not to laugh, this was going to be very fun!

((Pandora, Krook, loving you and that pazazz XD))
Kirus thanked Seti kindly, and nodded
"quite"
he replied, his accent seeming all the more potent in the morning heat. He smiled lightly, a small twinkle entered his eye when Haku reffered to him as 'hun'. He wondered how many of the locals knew he was so forward thinking with his affections, or perhaps it was just a more accepted type of thing in these parts of the world. He had heard of books.....
He shook his head, and curled his fingers around the glass of milk, elegant and long, he brought it to his lips, and rather than sip daintily as one might expect a gentleman of his standing to do so, he tipped his head back and drained the glass in a matter of seconds. It was a relatively impressive feet, and unclear as to whether he was just very thirsty, had picked that up from his days with the sailors; or whether despite himself, he had a hard and 'manly' side to his personality. It was doubtful he would ever let it show further.
He slapped the glass back on the counter and sighed with the noise of a content and full man. He grinned stupidly for a moment, before whipping a handkerchief from his pocked and dabbing softly at his lips.
"I think your cows must be more pure than our own breed. That was quite divine" he noted.

(( xd I try.))
Pandora supressed her toxic laughter and regained her composure. She cleared her voice and tryed a low, burly tone. Surprsingly, it came out well enough. She giggled.
Then she started walking down the streets, no one took a second look or glance, she was just another man out doing the daily activities.
Right?
She tryed not to outright break out in smiles as she made her way on swift bare feet to the inn.
How good it was to be free! She didnt have to walk at a slow pace or aavoid other's eyes.
Yes, this was the life, more laughter shut back in her throat.
Finally, she arrived to the inn and plopped herself down on one of the stools by the bar. Only a few chairs away from a man that was drinking from a slender glass.
She nearly toppled over when she saw he what he was drinking.
Milk?!
With all her strength she held back her giggles and she said to the bartender, in her surly tone,
"One bottle of Sake."

Takashi watched the man chug the milk. He seemed rather content so Takashi tried not to laugh. A young looking fellow walked in and Takashi instantly started to analyze him. After a few seconds Takashi sat beside him at the bar. he put his elbows on the bar and interlocked his fingers to cover his mouth. He stared straight ahead and said " Excuse me, sir. Have i ever worked for you? there is something strange about you i just cant place my finger on it." Takashi laughed "im sorry i probably have you mistaken for somebody else."

Pandora glanced quietly over at the man and listened for a moment then replied in her burly tone, a little chance to have some fun it seemed,
"No, i definately don't know you, but it could be that im a samurai."
Pandora burst out in laughs, making them hearty and low. She was actually doing a good job at this and that amazed her.
She grinned evilly.
The man seemed a bit older than her, and for some odd reason he was looking away.
Pandora hoped blindly he hadnt figured out her secret.

Takashi listened to the man he was sure he knew him. "Perhaps thats it. We may have seen each other in battle or something. Oh well have some more sake on me, for troublin you." he said handing him a few coins and leaving the bar.

Pandora watched the man leave with tentative eyes...
He did seem a bit familair..
Maybe she had met him at the academy? But as her woman self?
The 'woman self' part made her laugh under her breath.
So now im a transvestite? She thought giddily.
That was it, he must have been at the academy, but that was dangerous, what if he later realized that 'he' was a she and reported her, or something like that.
She shrugged thinking nonchalantly,
If anything comes up, i'll wiggle my way out of it simple as that.
She grinned wryly at the thought and sipped her sake, her elbows up on the bar, she ignored all her many years of manner training. She intended to drink herself smashed, which for a woman was unspeakable, and looked upon as a prostitutes actions.
The thought of breaking such a huge social rule made her feel tingling and even more giddy than the sake was making her.

Takashi walked back to where he was sitting earlier and sat down. 'I know i know him" He thought 'But where from? Did i protect him, or did i fight with him or against him?' Takashi sat there and tried to figure it out. He knew it would eat away at him until he figure it out. Takashi meditated on his thoughts hoping to find the answer buried somewhere deep within his own mind. Takashi sat silently his eyes and expression were the same he had seen on many dead who have passed. unresponsive and soulless.

Pandora downed half the bottle of sake, but she was worried, she didnt want to walk home completey smashed, so she pushed the bottle away and asked for some chicken legs, a few minutes later the bartender lay down a plate full of steaming chicken limbs.
Pandora's eyes widened and she grinned from ear to ear.
She shoveled the chicken into her mouth, it was so good not to have to eat slowly and primly. She savored the taste of the well cooked chicken.
She made noises of delight.
After about five minutes the plate was licked clean.
She laughed at herself all over again.
Silly boy she thought at herself, and almost toppled over with laughter, yes, pandora was definately drunk.
At least she wasnt smashed.

Haku gave the new person what ever he wanted. Though Haku wasn't sure if it was a he. It seemed as if the person was in the almost oposite position from what he was. A man dressing in womans clothes. He had the feeling this man wasn't so much a man. But he kept quiet about it and just observed the new stranger.
He told the ronin that he would give him a word about the job the next day. If it got more crowded he needed more workers.
Seti left his house that morning and walked up to the Inn. Dressed in a all black yukata and two swords strapped to his side. The gray mop of hair framed his face with a few strands as the rest was pulled up in a ponytail. His face was tight and emotionless as he entered the Inn. His sensitive ears led him to the sounds. That was where he found Haku, the english man and sime man he hadn't seen before. "Ohayoo." He said softly in his deep voice as he sat down at one of the smaller low tables. Placing his swords next to him he waited for Haku to serve him a drink.
Haku smiled as Seti entered the bar. He had expected the other to be there early. "Ohayoo Seti-kun." He said politely in the female like voice. Haku looked at Kirus for a moment before grabbing a bottle of sake and a bowl and making his way over to where Seti was sitting. He crouched down between Seti and the others. "Hey love." Haku said softly only for Seti to hear and placed down the bowl only to fill it with sake. Then he placed down the bottle aswell and stood up once more.
Seti growled at what Haku said. Though it was true. He would never admit it to anyone, not even to himself. But Haku was even more important to him than his mother and that ment a whole deal here in japan.

Pandora glanced at the clock.
It was getting late, and the longer she stayed the more risk she created for herself, of course she wasn't worried , but she needed to take precautions.
So pandora rose from her seat at the bar and lay down a few gold coins, saying a quiet, deep,
"thanks." to the bartender. She sighed, for now her fun was over, which made her in a quite somber mood.
As she walked away from the bar and down the now darkened streets she mulled over the mans appearance, her drinking, everything.
All in all, she had to be a bit disapointed in herself, yes she had done something crazy but, it just wasnt enough to satisfy her crave for disobdience.

Kirus' eyes swivelled to Seti as he entered, but they did not greet each other, the man seemed in a dark mood, despite the brightness of the day.
He had smirked a little at the drunken boy sat near them, but he too had seemed to slip into a sombre mood.
Perhaps it was time to move on, for now, Kirus thought. Let things smooth over with the passing of the next winds, as he collected his things.
He stood, his posture denoting years of training, sticks taken across his back in a lesson not to slouch. He smoothed down the front of his trousers, rolling his eyes at himself for a moment, knowing there was really nothing he could do for his sea worn garments that would make him more presentable. He would be glad to slip back into the silks and pressed clothes he was used to.
He turned to Haku, waiting for a moment, with watching eyes as his new friend said something to Seti. He twitched a singular brow but said nothing. He wondered if there could be more fun here than he thought, games to be played perhaps...
It seemed he too was thinking more darkly.
"Haku, my good sir" he called out, after clearing his throat a little
"Come, take my hand before I leave you, it is possible for me to have my things sent up I trust?" he asked.
Then after a moment or two.
"And Seti-kun" he mearly repeated what the other had called him, believing it his name, not knowing any implications.
"Perhaps you have thought a little more on my need for a translator?" he asked
