"You know sis, my abilities with the wind, the very air we breathe, is different than most others. I've yet to meet anyone here who is so in tune with it as I am, despite their prowess in battle. It has told me things. Plots, twists and turns..." he knew she would only be all the more curious at his second abrupt ending, but he had to be sure of something before it was too late.
"I must teach you something. Are you up for a lesson?"

Jade opened her mouth to answer him, before seeing that a young man was heading their way, with a cigarette in his mouth, and that Reya had moved to behind the bar. The girl smiled over at the other, waving at her before turning to the newcommer.
"Hi there, welcome to Orion...and um....just so you know....smoking isn't allowed in here...sorry....^ ^;;"
She figured she'd tell him before he got into trouble.
Then she turned her attentions back to her adoptive brother. This was the second time he stopped in the middle of saying something, only making her curiousity that much more.
"A lesson...? Alright, I'm up for a lesson brother...."
She smiled at him, hopping down from the edge of the stage and standing up again.

Although hidden behind her heavily tinted glasses, Reya was scanning the room. Her eyes met Jades, and smiled. She noticed her talking to some other guy who didn't look familiar at the time, her eyesight wasn't too great either. That's just something she'd have to cope with though. She then saw a thick cloudy substance flowing through the air. Her nose picked it up before her brain could interpret it. Smoke. She followed the noticable trail to find its host. A man she hadn't seen here before. Typical. She thought. Since it may have been his first time, she wouldn't get too angry at him, besides Jade took care of it.
She then resumed with whatever she was occupied with before...nothing. Sitting on the bartender's barstool, she raised her left leg up and crossed it over the other, making them intersect. Reya relaxed a little.

Keno acknowledged the newcomer with a glance before tapping Jade's shoulder and warping her up to his room, which at this point had nothing in it since he usually used Ichi's. It was completely bare save the standard equipment Deity had provided, and they had become dusty and the air was rather stale.
"I have to apologize for the condition of the room. I've all but neglected it." With a clap of his hands, the winds stir and run through the room, bringing in fresh air as he sits. "You get the privelege of learning my Tiger Wave technique. Because of that however, we need privacy. Because of its design, there's no need to fear destroying anything here."

She spun her barstool around and waited for it to die down, it just happen to die down so that she was facing the new-comer. Great, one of these guys. She thought to herself, obviously delaying time until she had to respond to him. She quickly went over the pros and cons of giving her real name, and thought it would be alright if he new her identity. Reya responded quickly, not wanting to have him wait or think she was rude, especially not on a first encounter. Her voice was full of life.
"Why, yes she does. Reya, charmed. How 'bout you?"

Jade sighed a little at being ignored by the newcomer, but didn't have much of a chance to react to him before she was no longer in the main room, and in Keno's room. It took her a moment to get her bearings, having suddenly changed rooms without realizing.
She looked around for a moment at the bare room as Keno 'dusted' it and brought in the fresher air. Then she keyed in on his words and focused.
"You're Tiger Wave?" The girl seemed surprised for a moment, having exepected more of a battle-training session like they usually did than a teacher-student one.

"Yeah..." he doesn't even pretend to care to explain why, but merely begins with the lesson, Jade only really having to listen. He doesn't waste much breath, his time for the evening limited, but the distinct similarities between the Tiger Wave and Kamehameha comes up as well as the most identifiable differences, among them being the execution of the techniques in specific. As Keno begins to wind down his lesson, he was hoping Jade clung to every word like lint in jean pockets, he brings up perhaps the most important information about the Tiger Wave.
"The reason the Tiger Wave can be excuted without a bodily sequence, or much power up is because it is the incomplete form of my most powerful ki wave, the Masedo. I'll let you try and figure that one out yourself. For now, I suggest you practice the Tiger Wave until you can use it like a body extension. It's one of my significant techniques aside from Disperse and Drift. Anyway let's go back ne?"
Before she can answer he's tapped her shoulder and Drifted them back to the lounge yet again. "I wish I could stay later, but I have to go now. Good luck in the next round...whenever you get to it." Before Keno can leave, his eye sparkles brightly, marking something he either forgot to say, or chose not to, but he was gone before it mattered. Maybe no one noticed...

Reya hoped a whole 12 inches off her chair, the length from the floor to her feet, since she was in an elevated chair. She let out a quiet 'umph' on accident and quickly convered it up with a response.
"Why, of course. I'm am the bartender afterall."
She laughed through her nose for a second. Reya got down on her knees and began to frantically search for a water bottle in the mini-fridge that was directly below her. As she fished around the container she would glimpse up from time to time and notice a glossy look in Mitsuomi's eyes. Although he could not spot her looking at him directly, thanks to her glasses. She bit down on her lower lip to contain the laugh that built up.
Just as she thought she wouldn't be able to take it anymore, Reya made contact with the water bottle. She hurried back up and catiously handed it to him. She'd been in too many encounter with emotional men, and they proved to unpredictable.
"...enjoy."
She waited a second.
"What brings you here, anyway?"

Jade tried her best to hang onto every word Keno said to her, nodding as she tried to hold onto the concept in her mind. Then without a chance to answer him, she was back in the main room, the back of the lounge in fact.
She had just started to open her mouth to say something to him, but her brother was gone before she could say a word.
"Darn it.....he left without saying what he started to say before..."
She sighed a little, before sitting down on one of the couchs near her.
((Night Nii-chan!!))

Heh,I like him. She smiled as she looked down at the money. Instead of pocketing the cash, Reya grabbed it and stored it in her 'new chair funds', which was basically just an emptied out jar of paint with 'new chair funds' written sloppily across it. Not that she had bad handwritting, just that the cylindrical shape was hard to write on.
The paper thin money barely made a sound as it made contact with the bottom of the jar. At this time she looked back at Mitsuomi as he walked away, looking like he was headed to the stage. He was probably off to make conversation with Jade and her one friend she was with, whomever that was.
Reya was a little sorry for Mitsuomi, apparently she didn't give him the greatest first-impressions, which was actually an understatement. However, she couldn't help how she acted in front of newer people. She wasn't the type that readily opens up to a new-comer, such as Mitsuomi. Instead of saying anything, Reya just waved. Although she knew that it would go unseen.
