[D1 LE, open] Tea Corner

[Doji Shinnosuke]

The whisking of the tea might occasion a lull in the conversation, perhaps lasting until someone on the west coast of a far-off continent put in a support ticket somewhere.

At the close of this quiet interval, Shinnosuke passes the bowl across the table with a courteous smile. "Please, have some tea."

[Yasuki Ryoichi]

Accepting the bowl, Ryoichi murmured the customary apology to Honoka. Then he took a moment to admire the bowl, before taking a sip and passing it to the Lion.

[Ikoma Honoka]

Honoka dipped her head in understanding, accepting the bowl and after taking a few moments to examine she took her sip and then passed it back to the Crane, giving a bow of thanks.

[Doji Shinnosuke]

“Thank you for sharing this moment with me.” Shinnosuke’s smile is seraphic as he accepts the return of the tea bowl. “A sign for a harmonious winter to come, I hope.”

[Yasuki Ryoichi]

“Your spell of summoning companions for tea was very effective," Ryoichi said with a smile. “It's been a pleasure getting to meet you both. I agree, it is a good sign of things to come."

[Ikoma Honoka]

Honoka gave a nod of agreement.

"A perfect way to begin this season I would say. Thank you both. One hopes this feeling carries through to the end, many long days ahead."

[Doji Shinnosuke]

"A first meeting but not a last one, I trust." Shinnosuke nods to the other two. "No doubt we'll see much more of each other before the season is out."
