Keiko sighed aloud. "I suppose so," Keiko tried picturing Mia not talking about her work for once, "maybe when I am older, I will be able to talk to her about the things I do." The chances of that happening were slim, her only real hobby for the moment was painting.
"You like tea too? We should go for tea someday." That would be nice, and she'd actually forgotten that he didn't have any legs. However, if he couldn't get to the tea, then she would make sure the tea would get to him. It couldn't be very hard to get tea around anyways, though winter might make it a bit more difficult then Keiko let on.
Thinking about it, what he was suggesting wasn't such a bad idea. Who said she had to wear pants anyways! Mia couldn't force her to wear them anyways, Keiko wouldn't even touch them. "That's a great idea!" Maybe she'd get some pale color, she liked mint quite a bit and it went well with her eyes and hair. "You know, for someone who doesn't wear clothing you have a great fashion seems." She was only teasing him softly, and she smiled to show him she was only joking.

He nodded in agreement. "Perhaps they hope us to share their interest- perhaps some day we will, or they will share one with us." It was easier to talk to someone with common ground between them- as it was turning out, he and Keiko seemed to have no lack of that, and it was showing in how much he was enjoying the conversation. With a casual flick of his tail beneath the water, he came up to the edge to one side of her, and leaned his elbows up on the street- even he got tired of treading water after a while.
His eyes definitely seemed to light up at the idea of going out for tea. "That would be wonderful." His lack of mobility didn't seem to even cross his mind- Rylan was usually more than willing to carry him around as long as she wasn't shopping. "I have heard that there are several places in the city that serve excellent tea, but have not had occasion to visit any." Now he'd have to look into where was the best place to go- maybe they'd just have to visit them all to judge.
"Well, as we were just discussing, when one has a parent who enjoys their work, they tend to enjoy sharing their knowledge." How fortunate that his parent's particular vocation gave him knowledge that was helpful today. "And to be fair," he went on, "When I am not swimming, I do, in fact, don an item or two." He wore a bit of a smirk at the last part, showing his good humor- it wasn't often that he relaxed enough to tease.

"Mia isn't very technical or artistic, if you saw her you'd understand right away." Keiko giggled at the thought of seeing Mia trying to paint, her guardian was after all wearing an eye patch. "She also is from the farmlands, I like the city. Maybe someday she will like the city as much as me." Keiko would make sure that Mia found it as entraining as herself.
"Well I think we should have more tea outings, the only tea I have at home is green tea. I'd love to taste other kinds, and a friend is always nice to have." She didn't know if he considered her a friend, but she's just decided right there and then that he would be her friend. They had interesting conversations and he liked tea, how could she pass up on someone she got along so well with. "We will have to go out soon for tea."
Keiko clapped her hands together, "you are officially the person I am going out shopping with, I need someone with some fashion sense." Mia didn't dress badly, but Mia also wore pants and not dresses. All these difference between the two was probably the reason Keiko adored her guardian so much, she read somewhere that opposites attracted and this was the perfect example.

"Ah," he said simply- having not seen the woman for himself, he was hesitant to make any judgments of his own, lest they turn out to be horribly false. As such, he was happy to take the slight change of subject offered by Keiko's mentioning of the farmlands. "I myself live some distance from the city, though not in a particularly agricultural area." By this he meant that the lot they lived on was large and forested enough that the noises and smells of the neighboring farms didn't bother them at the house. "I enjoy the serenity personally, though I admit freely that excursions to the city are equally enjoyable. This one, for instance." It was an oddly personal- if ambiguous- compliment, for someone who tended towards stiff and slightly distant politesse, but he was feeling oddly laid-back, so he didn't let it bother him. Maybe it was the way she smelled- it was certainly stronger than his own scent, and seemed to come and go in potency as they spoke.
The clap of her hands effectively refocused his thoughts, and he nodded in agreement at her statement. "It would be my pleasure to accompany you shopping, Keiko." He was obviously pleased that she thought enough of his taste to want his opinion. "You will have to let me know when you wish to meet." He paused for a moment, narrowing his eyes thoughtfully as he seemed to ponder a schedule in his head. "It will, of course, have to be early enough that we may stop for tea afterwards." From his tone of voice, this wasn't something that was optional, but he didn't really think she'd mind.

"It's nice, but I feel lonesome all by myself sometimes. The city gives you this wrap around feeling that I like, and there are always people in the city." It felt extremely lonely when Mia was away for the few hours of work she did everyday, and truthfully Keiko didn't like staying alone that much. Now that she knew she could have Jiang's good company while she was in the city, only made her resolve to stay within the buildings even more. Shopping and going for tea would certainly make things quite a bit easier for her too, and she wouldn't have to deal with all those awful smells that accompanied the countryside. "I agree, this has been quite --"
"Keiko?" The girl turned slowly to glance behind her, Mia was waving her over, yelling to project her voice over the large crowd. Keiko didn't want to leave just yet, but if Mia was ready to she would have to follow suit. "I'll be right back Jiang." Grabbing some of her kimono's end, Keiko ran on back to Mia. "Mia, please give me a few more moments. I've just met a friend and I'd like to meet him again! Do you have a piece of paper and a pen?" Mia looked back towards Jiang, her brow lifting ever so subtly as she observed him. It was nice that Keiko was meeting people, she looked quite excited about it, though Mia wasn't sure how she felt about a boy whit scales. "Sure, here hold this bag." Keiko did was she was told, holding the bag and giving instructions on what to write. Once she was done, Keiko handed the bag back to Mia, grabbed the piece of paper and ran back to Jiang.
"Here take this, that's the eta shop you can usually find me at. What days and at what time, I try coming in early so I can browse around the shops. So if you ever want to meet, that is where you shall find me. For now I need to leave, my guardian is calling. It was very nice meeting you Jiang, and I hope we meet again!" With that, Keiko handed him the piece of paper, gave him one of her brightest smiles and ran back off towards Mia, only turning one more time to wave at him.
