Grabbing perusing some of the more obscure bottles aligning the shelves he produced a rather plain bottle.
"Normally I tend to drink mainly water, but I believe this occasion asks for something a bit more.
Chanting in a gutteral tone he wave his hand over the counter top and a black flame arose from the wake of his touch. Rather than scorching the counter top what was revealed was two drinking saucers.
"Have you had Omazake? It is a form of sweet sake usually severed during festivals, but I thought it would be fitting in this moment."
Setting the bottle he smiled broadly tapping it lightly on its cork, it popping moments later from some unseen presurre. Carefully pouring the drink he smiled broadly. Raising his saucer he looked her way. Shall we do the honers?
((Gah my posts are so far apart. Well this should be the last wait till I get to my computer.))

As the flames appeared in front of her eager eyes, Miyuki let out a squeak before applauding the spectacle. That was some impressive little trick he had just shared with her. And even better, there was two drinking saucers left over from the flames, and as she touched one tentatively with her pointer finger, she realized they weren't in the least bit warm. Her eyes flickered upwards back to his face as he explained the drink that he had chosen.
"I've never tried it, but it sounds delicious!"
She spoke with such enthusiasm that it seemed she was indeed eager to try this new beverage. And so, as she watched him pour into the two cups, she took the remaining one in her hands and held it up for the toast he had proclaimed. She gave herself a moment to think, trying to come up with a good one before she settled on one.
"To the meeting of strangers who I hope will become good friends!"
And with a smile, she clinked their glasses together before bringing the rim of the cup to her lips and taking a small sip. Her face lit up with happiness at the sweet flavor.

Clinking his drinking saucer with hers he nodded in agreement.
"Yes, to new beginnings and good times."
Sipping his drink he paused to to study her face from afar finding it very pleasing to eye. There was a beauty to it that he couldn't quite put a finger upon. Regardless, he hoped to see much more of it at later times.
"I am glad you like it. It would sadden if I could not commemorate this moment with something we both could enjoy. One sidedness leaves much to be desired."
Leaning against the bar he set his saucer down still smiling.
"So tell me about yourself, What makes Miyuki tick. There are parties that wish to uncover such mysteries. Namely myself."

As Miyuki took yet another sip from the sweet beverage, she looked over at him with a smile on her face. Now he was interested in conversation with her. Oh yes, he was definitely on her good list now. Much more talkative and courteous than the men the night before. They had just bothered her. Her own kitsune tail bristled in anger before she allowed herself to calm down and gaze at him with a polite grin.
"Well... Miy- I mean, heh, I'm in the tournament around here. As a matter of fact, my match is scheduled for tomorrow."
She began to toy with the rim of her cup, spinning her fingers around it before setting it back down on the countertop. In all honesty, she was very nervous about her match. She had barely managed through the first round, how would she be during the second? It was almost too much for her to think about. Shuddering slightly, she turned her attention back on the man in front of her, as she calmed herself down enough to keep her eyes on him.

"Ah...I knew your name sounded familiar. I read the tournament roster. Congratulations to making it to the second round. I came about to watch some of the matchs. Perhaps I will come and watch yours. Just rooting for one party isn't fun. Now I have 2 matchs to look foward to in this tournment. I would have liked to enter myself had I known about it in advance, but such is life. "
Crossing his arms over his chest he looked her over trying to decipher her fighting style from her physique alone.
"Hehe I shall look foward to you match indeed. You have my support.
Reaching over he place his hand over hers.
"Worry not, just believe in your skills and you can succeed. "

Miyuki smiled at his comforting words, feeling a blush slowly creep its way onto her face. She had never been around many people that had been so kind to her, or even as polite as he was, but now he was being supportive? This was too much for her. Brushing a few strands of aquamarine hair out of her face, she gazed at him with such happiness that she seemed to glow.
"Thank you so much for your words. I am worried about the match, but I know I will do my best. Your support gives me strength."
She was a bit more confident than she had been mere hours before, and that feeling alone was enough to cause the little streak of cheerfulness to stay with her. She wanted to make it into the next round, she really did. She had something to prove, and she wanted to prove it, damn it. With her eyes focused on the kitsune in front of her, she finished off her glass before setting it down once more.
"What about you? Tell me about yourself. "

Brushing aside some of the white strands that obscured his gray eyes he smiled gazing down at the image rippling in his saucer.
"Hmmm....I'm not sure...I suppose I'm a silly fool who is too antzy to sit still long enough to catch his breath. Though there are circumstances and individuals which make me want to stick around and smell the roses a bit."
As he said this he gaze up at her smiling warmly.
"I suppose to be more specifc I'm a travelling sage who wishes to study the world through many different means. This can be done through interacting with people or training ones mind and body beyond their current means."
As he said this his expression became thoughtful.
"I have noticed sharing what I know helps to reinforce my own skills and perhaps become stronger. I still have much work to do. But things here are quite inspiring. "

Miyuki folded her hands in front of her with her elbows on the counter, allowing her chin to rest on top of her hands as she sat there and listened to him. He definitely was an intriguing enigma, one that she wanted to know more about. Her eyes flickered towards him in interest as he continued to speak, and she caught the warm smile he had directed towards her. Returning one herself, she allowed herself a moment to think over everything that he had said. When the moment had elapsed, she coughed once before speaking.
"Does that mean that soon you will be leaving this place to study other things more thoroughly?"
Miyuki hadn't meant to ask it, but it had come to her before she could stop it. It wasn't really her fault, it was a valid question. But the tone of disappointment in her voice couldn't be masked either way, and so, she hurriedly coughed once more before turning away with a light blush.
"I mean, you know, just curious, nothing intended."
Smooth one, Miyuki. She definitely knew how to cover herself up. She had never been good with subtlety, as she had just proved at this moment and time. Shaking her head at her idiocy, she kept herself silent, now staring at the wall adjacent to her as if it were the most interesting thing in the room at this point. Yes, she was wonderful at covering herself up. At this point, she was mentally berating herself for the stupidest reasons.

Raising his eyebrows at her reaction he rested his chin in his palm smiling.
"Truthfully at this time, I believe I have enough on my plate to keep me satisfied. I am currently catching up with a old student of mine and engaging one currently. It seems there are more avenues open to me than I have ever found. My plan is to stick around until I feel my welcome is exhausted."
Looking solemn he smiled weakily
"As I said before, I suppose I should look around me a little harder, or I might miss something that I couldn't find anywhere else."
Gazing at her he shrugged
"Perhaps now is the time to stop and reflect on my travels."

With a smile that was hidden behind her hands, Miyuki glanced over at him as he declared that he would indeed be staying for awhile. However, at the moment, she couldn't say the same, for it was time for her to leave. But she would be back soon, she hoped.
Hopping off the bar stool, she leaned forward to where he was across the bartop and gave him a small kiss on the cheek before whispering.
"I've got to go... I hope to see you soon."
And with that, she turned and headed out of the doors of the Orion, a smile on her face the entire time.
[ Cheap exit on my part, but I gotta go. I'll talk to you later! <333 ]

Smiling despite witnessing her departure he wave as she headed.
"Till we meet again. I will definately be there to watch your match. I wouldn't miss it for the world. So expect to see me soon."
With that just as mysteriously as he had taken notice of her, she was gone.
"There is definately an interesting time to be had."
Finishing his Omazake he smirked to himself, cleaning up the materials before him.
"I give a nod to the fates."
Forgoing his normally flashy exit he too departed from the Orion, replacing his scarves upon his face.
((No worries. It was fun. later.))
