She smiled to her younger sisters as she felt her anxieties wash away. "I'm glad you two like it so much! Tora-san introduced this place to me and it always brought a calm for me. I always saw the both of you in the garden back at home and I thought you would enjoy a grander one."
The maid came back with the trio's orders, servicing them with great ease. She did not want to steal their time with mixed up or foul orders. Iyasu thanked the maid before she left and picked up her cup of hot tea.
"I think really needed this over due down time." She giggled, letting (almost) everything go she was taught about being prim and proper but she still held an air to her that kept her composure of her career.

Luna seemed lost in deep though as she sipped her tea her eyes hazed and lost in the clouds. Though she did not notice the small smile pushing forth on her lips she seemed to take great joy in the simple part of nature. Clouds. The sadness and fear seemed washed from her gentle face as she simply enjoyed the sunlight and gentle breeze.

((No worries ^^! Everyone has been very busy as of late. Take your time!))
Iyasu glanced over head and sighed softly. She looked to her younger sisters and smiled softly. She gently tapped her obi to feel for a small bag. The package she thought she had hidden away was forgotten at the okiya. She paused for a moment, chewing her inner lip in thought.
"Girls, I'm very sorry . . . but I have forgotten something very important back at the okiya . . . I will be in fifteen minutes." The geisha promised, she knew that her girls would be say here, especially with Hirose and Tora across the way. "I promise what I am going back will be well worth this time." She smiled to them as she hurried off to call a rickshaw.

Popo nodded and sipped her lemonade. She worried about her onee-san leaving, but trusted in her judgment. Popo looked over to Luna as Iyasu left and smiled. She caught a falling cherry blossom and held it out in the palm of her hand. "Look at it, Luna. Isn't it perfect and pretty? I wish I could be a cherry blossom. I could live, always beautiful, and brighten nature until I peacefully fall upon someone's hand and brighten them, as well. Then slowly, peacefully fade into a memory." heart

 Wow, the rain was really coming down hard. Meme pushed the wet locks of obsidian hair from her eyes as she danced about Iyasu in a methodical fashion, skillfully keeping her and her precious parcel from getting wet. Smiling she shook her head to Iyasu's inquiry. "No Ma'am, I have never been outside of my village till now. Though the village temple has some lovely gardens" She was excited, she couldn't wait to see. Post: 18 ((reposting this here for Iy-san))

"Then you'll love this." She said softly to Mamemitsu as they entered into the Sakura garden. Iyasu brought out the silk package and walked a little swifter toward the girls.
"Girls, I'm back and I think we'll be here a little while. It's pouring at the okiya and the weather has only become worse as we walked over here." She acknowledged the little maid at her side, "This is Mamemitsu, she's the latest addition in our okiya. She insisted on walking me over here and so I insisted that she stay with us. I don't want her to become be ill from staying out in the rain for too long." Iy-chan explained to the girls as she gracefully took her seat between the two.
"My dears, the reason I left so quickly like that, was that I forgot something very important at the okiya . . . this." Iyasu set the light blue silk parcel onto the table in between the two of them. "In here, is something I was going to give my real younger sister before I left to become a geisha . . . Go on a head and take it out." She smiled to them.

Mamemitsu took a few moments to take the umbrella's shake the water off outside before bringing them back with in the garden. She then moved after Iy-san quickly, her eyes looking about with pleasurable surprise. The Garden was absolutely beautiful. Sure she had seem some at Temple but none this glorious. Turning back to Iy-san and the others she bowed to them murmuring a soft greeting, her voice dancing about like a butterfly in flight and then she stepped back out of the way for they could have their outing uninterrupted but close enough that should they need anything.

As she waited for one of her younger sisters to open the silk bag, Iyasu turned to Mamemitsu handing her a menu, "Go on a head and choose whatever you may wish my dear."

Mamemitsu blinked and took the menu for Iyasu. She had never eaten out before. certainly never any where the food was prepared for you. Meals in her village consisted mostly of fish and rice. "Thank you" She murmured Looking over the menu she mouthed the words softly as she absorbed the descriptions, trying to imagine what each dish tasted like. Finally she settled on an item and handed the menu back. "Yakisoba and Gyoza please." Gyoza are dumplings with a filling usually made of minced vegetables and ground meat. Gyoza were introduced to Japan from China. In Japan gyoza are usually prepared by frying them. Yakisoba are fried or deep fried Chinese style noodles served with vegetables, meat and ginger. Mame liked both of these foods. Her mother would make them the best in her opinion but she did not mind having a taste of home while she was there. "Thank you very much." Post: 20 YAY!!!

She smiled looking at the blossom Popo had. rising she went to a tree and picked one that had yet to open. "You see my dear sister, you are a cherry blossom but you have no yet bloomed, your a waiting beauty. Trust me, we both will have time spring has no ended yet." There were times when she seemed somewhat spaced out and dull but others she could hold wisdome beyond her years. Hearing Iyasu's words she nodded sitting back down and trusting her onee-san's judgement. After Iyasu had left she laid on her back and closed her eyes happily. Upon Iyasu's arrival she forced herself to rise and listen as Iyasu spoke her gentle voice welcoming the new maid. "I'm curiouse..." she muttered looking at the pouch placed infront of her and Popo. Seeing that Popo was not reaching to open it she did, very slowly at first until she had the opening wide enough to fit her hand. A little comfused she gripped the object inside and pulled into out opening her palm slowly.

She smiled to her thoughtfully, "There is a lily on each chain made out of mother of pearl, green garnet and aquamarine. That was my younger sister's favorite flower and I had bought that a year before I left to become a geisha. So, now I give them to you." Iyasu explained to them.

((You mean each one has a different colour right?)) Popo picked up the one with the aquamarine. She smiled brightly and very big. She was so excited to wear it. She quickly put it on. She said, "How do I look, onee-san?"

((Yup yup))
"You look you're almost ready to flip your collar, Popo-chan!" Her smile softened as she looked over her. She looks so much like Linea . . . just without the curls.

Luna was very slow to pick up the remaining one. She looked over it gently and smiled slightly. "I'm sure that everything I own would not be worth as much as this. However, why give these to us?" She was curious as they had originally been for Iyasu's sister, as far as Luna understood, so she didn't know why she was getting one. Very quietly she sipped her drink looking up at the blue shy with a smile.
