[D6, LE, Open] Nothing like a cold drink on a hot night

[Kaiu Nagisa]

It happened to be nights like these that Nagisa really liked that Tama Izakaya has outdoor seating. Finally the mugginess of the evening is being replaced by a cooling breeze, drink in hand and a beautiful view of the night’s sky and the shore in the distance.

Plus, there’s no one smoking out here. Nagisa never did like the smell of the stuff. Taking a sip of her drink, she looks back down at her densai running her spreadsheets.

Other presence soon joined into the bar, one might have thought a ghost by the pale skin and white hair, half of her face covered by a porcelain rebreather, humming with tranquil air kami within. She was dressed in a sharp striking manner, yet, the subtly disheveled hair and slump of shoulders told it had been a Day indeed for the Dragon.

Ichitaiyo gazed over and noticed the woman besides, and turned a greeting nod. "Kaiu-san."

“Ah!” The Kaiu woman jolts up slightly at her name being called, seemingly have been off in her own head. “Kitsuki-san. How was your afternoon?”

She puts her densai away, as to not to be rude to her potential conversation partner.

"C'mon, I'm not that ghostly, am I?" Ichitaiyo offered with a little chuckle, waving over the tender to serve some beer.

"Well, the whole Jade Chef thing was a bit of a bust for me."

“Ahhh. Yeah, not everyone is cut out for intense staff management. There’s a reason why I work pretty much solo.” Another sip from her own beer. “I am able to put together a decent meal, but micromanaging a whole team sounds like hell to me.”

Nagisa tilts her head to the side as she looks over the Dragon beside her. “I think your Clan has been doing well overall.”

"The Dragon? Yeah. But, I feel I need to do some better. There's some things on the horizon I need to be ready for." And she took a short sip. "So.. I remember you saying you were a gearhead, no?"

[Kaiu Nagisa]

"The Dragon? Yeah. But, I feel I need to do some better. There's some things on the horizon I need to be ready for." And she took a short sip. "So.. I remember you saying you were a gearhead, no?"

Nagisa’s eyes light up at the hint of a mention of her job. “Oh, yeah! I’m a mechanic. I run Tetsuo Auto Repair. Small business, but I really enjoy working with bikes and cars. Knew exactly what I wanted to do after serving my time in the military since they had me working on a lot of the land vehicles.”

Ichitaiyo nodded sagely and paid a little smile. "I've thought of upgrading the little compact car I'm driving for something more... fun, what would you recommend? I heard good things of vehicles with inline engines for quick responses."

Did she truly know that much about mechanics? No, she heard it on the street, but if it got the Kaiu in comfort, it was good enough.

“Well, it’s always really down to personal preference. If we could get you into a few, we could test out your own preferences. Size, steering, general feel of being inside.” Nagisa seems to have a little habit of tapping on the side of her drink every time she lists off something. “You said you had a compact which probably means you’re in general just more used to something of that size, too.”

"Actually.. It's mostly that I tend to work with a tight budget. As usual of Dragons. But if I could dream of a car.. I think I would love to drive a Kaiuworks Millenium." Ichitaiyo replied with a gentle smile. "It looks.. simple but elegant."

And seemingly, she was a bit ignorant, the Millenium certainly was understated and sober, but the insides held luxuries few could comprehend, like rice-makers, videocommunication plataforms, room for a meeting, silks straight out from Pale Blossom, it was as close as you got in Crab luxury automobilism.

“Ohhhh… I mean that’s a good choice. While understated on the outside, it’s what’s inside that matters. Maximum comfort and feature rich.”

Nagisa smiles softly before taking another sip. “I’ve often thought about renting one for maybe a special occasion. But, alas, no such excuses have come up for me.”

"Besides, you'd need to rent a driver as well, no?" Ichitaiyo smiled along. When her beer arrived, pulled away her rebreather.. showing a completely normal looking mouth and jaw.

"Who knows, if you manage to curry the governor's favor enough.."

Something about what the Dragon said causes Nagisa to chuckle into her drink. “The governor probably doesn’t even know my name. I’m not exactly the talk of the town or anything like that. Just a normal Kaiu that opened up her own shop.”

A single, solitude Kaiu that just goes about her day doing her best. Also a very curious Kaiu. “Hmmm… What do you do? You haven’t really talked much about yourself.”

"I'm.. a Corporate Adjutant. Basically, whatever the Company has a problem with, I solve." Beat. "But I am looking to change careers. I was schooled as an Inspector I'd like to do something closer to it."

“Never too late to change tracks. Though, I get wanting to use the skills you’ve been trained in. I actually turned down a position at Kaiu Heavy Industries.” With her drink now finished, Nagisa motions for one of the staff to give her a refill. “I hope you get the position you actually want.”

And that got a couple impressed blinks out of the Dragon.

"Whoa, that's a big offer. Why did you turn it down?"

“Timing.” Staring into her glass, there’s a hint of frown crossing over her lips. “My… Grandfather had recently passed away before then. He was pretty much my hero and mentor. Taught me how to put together a bike.”

The Inspector offered a solemn nod. "I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure he must have been a great man."

“Thanks. It was a few years ago, so… Yeah. Gave me enough time to put my stuff together and start my own business. What I really wanted over what was an easy path forward.” She rests her chin on her hand as she looks directly at the Kitsuki. “Gotta take what chances you have, y’know?”

"Indeed. And what is Nakahama but a place full of opportunities and chances?" and she took a long sip in. "How was it? Starting on your own? To be frank, it scares me."
