Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Thankyou for the compleament Mika-chan!" She said leaning over and giveing her a small hug.

" You will to one day!" She said. " That is if you don't fall asleep in the tea room all the time like me...I honsetly should drink tea some where else!" She joked smileing and looking over to Iyasu. " Iy-chan...Do you think that I will be abel to go with Yokome to the tea house soon?" she asked.

"You dreamed the okiya was on fire? Oh my, Mika-chan! You have quite an imagination." She shook her head, "We will be safe here. Fire has never even dreamed of touching this okiya. As for your dancing, Kaida-chan, that is very good! Did my first novice, Yokome, teach you how to do that?" She asked with a quiet giggle, "I'm sure that Yokome will take you out very soon. I am going to be taking Luna-chan out soon to get her hair done and then after to the tea house. After their debute, I go into harder lessons and take them out to demonstrate what they've learned. Yokome-chan will tell you that for a fact!" She smiled confidently, "Well, how do you like music class thus far, my dear girl?"

((OOC: Congrats to neckroz209 on becoming a maiko!))

Reijin rose from sleep and sat up on her futon. She carefully rolled it up and tucked it away, before dressing in a clean kimono. Kneeling before the small altar she had set up near her trunk, she lit some incense and said her morning prayers before putting on her house slippers and wandering to the kitchen to make some breakfast.

As she passed the main hallway, she heard a voice call out and saw another maiko approach. She nodded gently as she went past. "Ohayo gozaimasu. Have either of you had breakfast yet? I was just about to go make something."

((Is Yokome Kaida's onee-san now? I didn't see anything about it in the okiya, but Kaida talks like she is.)

"Oh, I hope you are feeling better now," Reijin said sincerely. Smiling gently, she changed the subject. "Would you like to come help me prepare breakfast? Perhaps we can even bring something upstairs to Iyasu-sama." Wth a small laugh, she blushed slightly. "Please forgive me, we have not even been properly introduced yet. My name is Reijin. What is your name?"

Reijin clapped her hands together happily. "Wonderful, Mika-san! It is a pleasure to meet you." Turning to the new maid that was standing near them "You may come as well, if you wish. It will help you become acquainted with the layout of the okiya."

((I am, but at the moment Yokome dosen't have the time to go on the net due to a horribel storm that hit, so she most likely won't be back untill next week and we're going to then say that we're little sitter and onee-chan.))
