The tension in the air of the table was easy to feel. The mood shift of the man called Okita was noticeable to say the least. Zoran-Thiea realized she was speaking out of turn, and had obviously offended the man. Now she wasn't quite sure how to best remedy the situation. Her toast fell unheeded. "Well shit." She took another large gulp and began to scratch at her wrist anxiously. She hardly noticed the sound of her rings tapping together and her bracelets jingling as she did—she usually didn't even notice the nervous tic as she was doing it. "I've got a whole lotta memories coming back lately..." She looked over at Okita and sighed. "I owe a wicked man his damnation." She realized that must not have made much sense. But standing out in the rain earlier she had realized what she must do. And sitting here now, she knew she would need help to do it. "I have something for you that will work much better than getting drunk...and for you, I can get it much cheaper."

She glanced over at the solider. He was as quiet as ever, but for some reason she wasn't feeling as threatened by him as before. There was a certain... innocence ...about him. She was not accustomed to sensing such vibes from any Kanatalian. Perhaps he could be of use to her as well. After all, there were many soldiers serving the kingdom only for the monetary benefits, without much loyalty to the crown. She wasn't sure what it was that made the man seem different. "I shouldn't talk of these things here." She stood, though she wasn't sure why. It seemed like she should go. She glanced back at the table as the barmaid walked over, "I'll, eh, settle our tab then." Zoran-Thiea turned and placed a hand on the small of the barmaid's back to pull her away. "Listen luv, we've got a bit more of a tab that I have money, but I do have something you might like..."

Zoran-Thiea returned with two more bottles of sake in hand and placed them on the table. She looked between the two with her hands on her hips. [i]How the hell was she supposed to convince these two to go on some wild goose chase with her..?[/i]
