Yume was having a mixture of shock, anger, and surprise. "OI!
That woman is RUDE... tsk, FINE no one wanted to see me again?
FINE i will disappear." She stomped out, angry that no one is
happy to see her or wanted to talk to her more after Elliot's
encounter, she was really upset and now even more. She open her
magic circle and jumped in, teleporting her to her garden where
it smooth her mind.

She smiled slightly at the girl, an almost motherly or big
sisterly look. "It is no trouble, little one. Long have I been a
rescuer from situations unwanted socially. Some people are
simply not properly empathetic. It is shameful." They moved in a
ball of dove grey light, or this is how it appeared on the
inside.
"I will take you back to my home. You can sit before the fire,
and warm yourself. The snow and ice are not a proper temperature
for you. Do you like tea, little dragon?" The woman asked
softly, eyes ahead of them, as if she guided the sphere of
light.

Homura looked around at the light as the moved, almost
captivated by it. She smiled warmly at the woman, feeling
fairly comfortable with her. The mention of warmth and sitting
by a fire, made her realize how cold it had been. The prospect
of warming herself, was more than a welcome one. This woman
seemed to instincitively know this. A quick nod in response to
her question, "I do like tea." she said happily. A quick
thought crossed her mind. "I realize I haven't told you my
name. I'm Homura." she said warmly, she certainly didn't want
to be rude to the woman who was being so kind. Not that she
minded being called little dragon.

Another smile, one that reached her eyes and warmed them in
expression, though not in color. "Homura is a befitting name for
a dragon born of flame. I am Aska. We will get you warm very
soon. My home is not far now." From the corner of her eye, she
watched the dragon be absolutely entranced by the swirling
light, and smiled slightly again.
"Tell me, Homura. Do you play music? Do you dance, little one?"
The priestess asked quietly, curiously.

Homura smiled brightly, "It's very nice to meet you Aska." A
warm expression crept into Homura's eyes as the woman commented
on her name, and let the prospect of warmth be coming soon.
Even though she was fully paying attention to Aska her ruby eyes
would wander every so often to the swirling lights again.
She tiled her head lightly at the questions asked. "Do I play
music? I haven't been able to learn much in the way of
instruments. I do enjoying singing very much though. I've
always found it soothing. I like to dance, but it's often when
no one is watching." She grinned sheepishly.

Aska laughed softly, the chuckle a whispery, very feminine yet
subtle thing. "I know many that dance when no one is looking. I
was trained to dance for the eye, though. Would you like to
learn how to play the shamisan, little one? Perhaps how to dance
with fans? I sing, as well. I rarely get the chance to do this
so often, now." She said quietly as they grew near to their
destination.
She slowly took them down, and settled upon the Earth. The light
cleared away, revealing a good sized cottage in the middle of
the woods. Already, the smell of woodsmoke was on the air, and
smoke plumed from the chimney. It was a charming thing. The
outside is very well kempt, and shows signs that there are many
things that will feed a large variety of the forest creature
populace.
Aska leads the girl into her home, and the first thing to assail
the senses is the smell of the herbs that hung about the
cottage. Many were drying, but all of them gave a distinct
scent. To a nose more accustomed to the city, it is confusing,
cacaphonous. But to a nose that enjoyed the natural, it was
heavenly. The cottage both looks and smells earthy.

Homura giggled lightly still thinking about dancing when no one
was looking. She watched Aska with bright eyes. She nodded
excitedly, "I have always wanted to learn to play an instrument
but have had no one to teach me. Learning to play the shamisan
sounds wonderful." She smiled warmly.
"You've been trained in dance?" she asked her eyes gleaming
slightly. "I would love to learn how to dance with fans. I'm
sure it would be far more graceful than when I dance in my
dorm." She smiled happily as they landed at their destination.
She looked around at the cottage, taking in the sights and the
smells. The smells entered her nose tickling at the natural
side of her. A Dragon's natural habitat being the wild the
Cottage gave Homura a sense of ease. Smiling at the herbs as
they walked inside she turned back to look at Aska with a soft
smile. "Your home is quite lovely."

Hands palm to palm, fingertips together, the priestess gave a
bow. "I am humbled that you approve, little dragon. Find your
way to the hearth's flame. Warm yourself. There is a blanket
that you may speread out, or if you would prefer, the chairs are
open to you." Aska gestured, already moving to the warming
water.
Her hands gathered and picked at the herbs, creating a
concoction, fragrant and sweet. Each went into the teaball for
that specific purpose. Lemon balm and small hints of lavender
flower. Mint for flavor and raspberry flower for sweetness.
Another odd herb found it's way in, though the tastes and scents
of the rest obscure it's existence.
The tea ball made it's way into the small tea pot that sat in a
very elegant and old fashioned tea service. Sugar cubes had been
arranged, and heavy cream sat beside it to be dolloped. The
spoons were old and silvered, well cared for. The tea set is
bone china. Scones are available, as is jam beside it.
The small statured woman wheeled the service over to the girl,
her lavender eyes watching the younger female. "Would you like
to learn what I know then, little one? To learn the arts of the
geisha, and find grace of form and tongue?" She asked the girl,
softly.

The younger girl happily made her way over to the hearth. She
picked up the blanket running her fingers over it softly, before
she laid it out close to the fire. Having always been drawn to
being as close to the flame as she could, she curled up near the
warmth watching the priestess. She watched the woman fairly
captivated as she gathered the herbs, and made the tea.
As the service was presented to Homura she gave a bit of a bow
in appreciation. She carefully added a sugar cube and dash of
cream liking things a bit on the sweet side, and took a scone
and jam happily. Letting the fragrance of the tea fill her
senses smiling lightly as she looked up at Aska as she posed the
question. "Learn the arts of the Geisha?" She tilted her head
momentarily, but quickly nodded. "I would love to learn what
you have to teach, if you wouldn't mind teaching me. I'm sure I
could certainly benefit from learning the arts, and developing a
bit more grace." She would admit she sometimes lacked in that
area, being a bit on the excitable side. She sipped the tea
quietly, smiling softly enjoying the rich taste.

Aska took a seat in a chair that faced the hearth, crossing her
ankles in a dainty fashion. Her lavender eyes settled on Homura
patiently. "It has been long since I last had a little sister. I
have not heard a voice call me 'Onee-san' in many years. What do
you know of geisha, little one?" Asked the priestess, as she
prepared her own tea, only using a dollop of the cream.
