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?

Should any of them come here, I would be honored if you introduced me to them. I will make certain to serve you all tea and you will all be welcome to my dojo anytime.

[That did get another smile from Ulaz]

I would appreciate that and I'm sure they would too.

[crow_dad]

[He smiles warmly at him.]

Then I will extend a welcome to all those you deem worthy of friendship. Blade or otherwise. If they are treasured by you then they are welcome at my table.

[scalpelofmarmora]

Thank you. The Paladins would fall under that category, as well as a few others. In some ways I'd say they are more like family than the Blades are.

[crow_dad]

Then please let them know they are welcome whenever they wish. For tea, for training, for whatever they like. My places are always open to them.

[scalpelofmarmora]

I will let them know. Several may be interested in sword training. Shiro might be interested in tea. He does seem to enjoy it.

[crow_dad]

I will have to make certain I always have tea ready for the chance that he should come then. If it is a love of his then I wish for him to have it ready and warm.

[scalpelofmarmora]

I will let him know that if he is interested, you have this available and are expecting him. And the others as well.

[crow_dad]

Thank you. A father must always be ready to welcome the friends of his children, after all.

[scalpelofmarmora]

Thank you. It was good spending time with you. We will do it again.

[crow_dad]

Of course. Take care, Ulaz. And thank you for coming to my ceremony.
