Two for Tea?

[thousandcurses]

Characters: Izanami and YOU
Location: Cafeteria
Format: I'll switch to match you, but action is preferred!
Summary: Izanami has been in a good mood since the collar event. So, she's sharing that happiness by sharing some tea she made!
Warnings: None!

[Izanami had changed. That much is fact. Although still as reserved as before, the air around her is much less tense and bitter. Indeed, the calm and quiet smile she wears is much happier. She has, after all, reconciled with her husband after centuries, and the future is bright enough for her. She will one day be reunited with her husband. And it's with these thoughts that she sits at a table, happily having made some green tea. A small amount of fire magic keeps it warm, so that she can share it should anyone like to join her. She's in the mood for company, and perhaps she can understand the other residents a little bit better now.]

Comments

[thousandcurses]

No. Would you like to join me?

[She will look up momentarily, offering a small smile.]

[littlemissnobody]

Um, sure. If you're sure you don't mind.

[And she sits, getting herself comfortable before introducing herself]

I'm Dawn.

[thousandcurses]

Izanami.

[Another sip of tea. And yes, that's all she's having. No evidence of any food.]

It is a pleasure to meet you, Dawn.

[littlemissnobody]

Oh, nice name. Don't think I've ever met an Izanami before.

[And here she eyes the tea curiously]

You know, the only person I know who drank tea was Giles and I'm pretty sure his didn't look like that.

[thousandcurses]

It isn't a name most would give their daughters, given the history to it.

[She'll look down to her own tea now.]

Ah... It is green tea. I assume he might not drink it.

[littlemissnobody]

Oh...it's not?

Yeah, I guess not. What's it like?

[thousandcurses]

No. It is the name of a goddess in Japan.

[She will pour Dawn a cup and slide it over.]

Perhaps you should taste for yourself.

[littlemissnobody]

[She can't disguise that brief flash of uncertainty at the mention of the word "goddess"]

I see...but, I mean, why wouldn't people want to name someone after a goddess?

[She takes the cup, glad for the distraction]

Yeah...thanks.

[thousandcurses]

Hm, do you have time to listen to a myth?

[Izanami will just sip her tea and await an answer.]

[littlemissnobody]

[She shrugs]

Sure. Not like we're really lacking in time for anything right now.

[And in spite of what she'd say about there being no school, she does enjoy chances to learn when they arise]
