Haruka's tail wagged in excitement as she sat at the bar. A normal person might have given up after asking perhaps a hundred different bars for sake only to find out that there was none, but Haruka was not normal. Nothing would deter her from her quest to get some sake in the west. She believed that if she was persistent, she could definitely find some some day. Thus, even if she failed 10,000 times, she would not be dissuaded. She would just try 10,000 more times.

"Yes, miss bar captain," she called out to the young woman working the bar, "I am in search of some sake! Might you have any, please?"

Yet again, the answer was no. After some confused conversation establishing what exactly sake [i]was[/i], Haruka was informed that they had nothing like that. With that out of the way, she turned to look at the other patrons with a wide smile still on her face. Westerners were very interesting, she thought as she caught a glimpse of a yelling purple-haired child standing on a bench.

[i]"Westerners really do have hair like the rainbow! Yellow and red and even purple. It is amazing every time I see it!"[/i]

Then, there was a Western game of wrestling arms betwixt a drunk woman and a very tall man. How big the Westerners were, too! One would never see a man that tall in the East. Or a woman that drunk, to be honest. Both were amazing, but then the tall man slammed the woman through the table which was bad. Haruka's tail waggled even faster, and she rushed to the scene of the injury. This was the time! Her medical training would really pay off! Finally, she could be of use to someone in need.

"I can doing now this for you now please," she cried as she grabbed the drunken woman's arm. With one quick, skillful motion she set the arm back into place. Then, she snapped some pieces of wood off of the already broken table, reached into her robe to rip off a bit of her sarashi, and dabbed some poultice around the afflicted area before splinting it.

"It will better in soon time! You may do many alcohol for unmaking the pain."
