Sapphire Ambassadors

Natsujin nodded along to the energetic Harujijn.

"That's very true. We're family, we help each other. And if Akijin gets a big head just because of this, some time in the koi pond will shrink it back down!" she offered energetically.

Natsujin shakes her head.

"I think our cousin means, which of us will be named the successor. I'll admit, business at my tea house has been quite sunny, but I don't think I'll be the one to reap this particular harvest." she explained.

The waving grass tea room wad even busier, but family came first, regardless of the cost. Natsujin made her own entrance with big steps and a bow to her two cousins. "Good morning, cousins. A fine day for tea, neh?" she offered cheerfully. After all, the branch sure must have an overstock of it.

Tatsuya, who had prepared himself for at least a little more obstinance, smiled in a more genuinely warm way. "I'm very pleased to hear that, Natsujin-san. I shall endeavor to stay out of your way with regard to day-to-day operations and focus my time on ensuring that potential customers make the r...

Natsujin nodded along.

"You're pretty sharp, Moshi-sama. It will be a pleasure working with you, I think." she said, pleased with the Mantis's involvement.

"Good afternoon, Natsujin-san," Tatsuya said warmly, bowing and then straightening with his smile still radiant. "Might we speak privately? I do not want to distract anyone from enjoying your fine business." She bowed. "Of course, this way, Moshi-sama." she offered leading him to a small area in th...

A tall and confident Mantis in exquisite robes strode into the tea room with an air of one who owned the place - and fully intended to be just that. Tucking his hands into his impeccable sleeves and filling the room with a smile as radiant as an over-indulgent imperial courtier's hair piece, Moshi ...

"With soap. And not in the Koi Pond."

That got a raised eyebrow from Natsujin. "Oho? Perhaps the two will wed? He's certainly a man unafraid of boldness and passion." she offers with a wry smile. She thought for a moment. "Hmmm, it's not an entirely bad match. Perhaps it's time our family interests moved to include sake. Tea is wonderfu...

Natsujin nodded with along with Akijin.

"Aki-chan's right." she agreed readily. "Someone must lead, but we're family. It's about supporting each other and honoring grandma's legacy, not advancing ourselves personally."

Natsujin snorts at the pond comment.

"Ah, so you'd like me to pay you back by becoming the head of the family, Fuyu-chan? Very well, I accept your support in the spirit it is given." she proclaims.

She grins a bit.

"Which is to say out of obligation and necessity. But I'll take it nonetheless."

Natsujin whistled a bit. "Geez, did you two have a really hard day at work, or what?" she offers to her elders. "Grandmother would be really disappointed seeing you treat family worse than your pets." She shook her head. "Or perhaps it's just that you two are truly unready to accept such responsibil...

Natsujin accepted the poured drink with a smile before pounding it.

"Ah, such things are better taken all at once, don't you think? The same is true for news, isn't it? I believe Haru-chan mentioned something about helping out grandmother more?" she prompted from the youngest.

There is a bright laugh from the bar. "Oh, Aka-kun you are TERRIBLE . My husband would punch you into next week if he heard you say such things...so I'll be sure to stop back by in then." Natsujin said with a smile before making her way over towards the grimmer cousins. "Ah, it's been too long cousi...
