Broadcast

[The pretty sword appears on the screen with a smile on his ever polished face. Politely, he bows his head before speaking.]

Greetings. I would like to host a tea ceremony for those interested in attending. If you do then I will be holding these ceremonies in my dojo on the Iskaulit. There is no requirement for dress code aside from the removal of your shoes when you enter.

[Lowering himself down, he bows where he is kneeling, hands brushing the floor.]

I look forward to seeing those of you who are interested.


The Dojo

[For those who are interested in coming, the dojo looks the same on arrival. The same traditional Japanese setup. In the center of the room Kogarasumaru can be found kneeling, bowing politely to the ones who enter before rising to his feet.]

Please come in. I will get you a cushion to sit on.

[He is not going to expect anyone to kneel like he will. It can be terribly uncomfortable for most.]

Have you ever attended a Japanese tea ceremony before?

I have enjoyed every moment with you, Koga. I doubt this time will be any different.

_{[ He smiled back and he did at least give an effort to sit like Koga had, knees tucked beneath him. He had seen Sulu do so as well, during some of his training sessions, but his legs soon began to tingle and he shifted into a seated lotus position. ]}

[crow_dad]

One would think you are flirting with this father.

[He's only teasing him though. He smiles at him and waits for Kirk to realize the position is uncomfortable and for the man to sit in another way before he gets his supplies set up.]

I will walk you through this since this is your first time.

[universal_charm]

Would said father be upset if one was, just a little?

_{[ Teasing. Halfway. Flirting came as naturally as breathing, half the time, or as a defense mechanism depending on the situation. But hey, if it worked... otherwise he was fine to trade playful jibes. ]}

It would be much appreciated. You seem to be doing that a lot for me lately.

[crow_dad]

Said father might ponder intentions but I assure you he would be complimented.

[He looks amused then lifts the tools up one at a time to clean them.]

The ceremony begins after the guests are seated. The host will then clean each tool to be used.

[universal_charm]

One would assure the father there are no ill intentions, just an appreciation.

_{[ Wow that was a hard sentence structuring to keep up. He continues to watch Koga, more than a little enthralled with the way he moved and the elegance of an all. It was like watching a painting come to life. ]}

Already far more intense than I thought this would be.

[crow_dad]

Oh I am aware you have no ill intentions.

[He has seen many with those in his lifetime. He can easily tell when one is pure in their intentions instead.]

Is it? And we have no yet reached the preparation of the tea.
