From the carriage, three identical women exited in silence. Their faces painted in a smooth, white and porcelain finish, coupled with accentuated eye makeup and rubied lips. One wore yellow, one wore blue and the final wore pink. These robes were kimonos, and the three women had their hair arranged in a traditional geisha style, different from each other only in the clothes they wore and the hair style of the day.

For some, the performance was restricted to the stage. They were able to remove their masks and costumes, relax with their friends and enjoy meals together. Takumi did not have the luxury of functioning as such - her principals beaten like a copper shell around her everyday life, she knew that Azga had guests and these guests would be hungry.

The ladies in blue and yellow handed bowls of soup to worker and gypsy alike whilst the one in pink (for those who knew Takumi knew that pink meant the original copy of herself) nodded politely to those present, and listened to Azga in silence.

The blue-robed Geisha approached Faye and produced, from the elaborate and heavy sleeves of the kimono, a white linen cloth to use in favour of cleaning out her precious rifle with such a filthy rag. "I shall clean the other cloth for you," assured Takumi. This habit of gift-giving was one of many foreign eccentrices that alienated her from the others, but she found her way around it rather smoothly by partaking in conversation with multiple people in different areas, as she was about to do. "What do you think about the next stop, mm? I do not mind keeping you company as you take watch, it may be more...efficient than running around. Besides, it can get cold at night without a cup of tea!" Joked Takumi, chuckling.

The yellow-robed Takumi swapped places with the pink one in serving Azga's...guests. Free from her own duties, the yellow-robed Takumi went to sit beside Leo with her own bowl of soup, inclining her head politely towards him and gently opening the conversation with a simple "How was your evening?" Takumi always thought that Leo was a quiet, reserved type of person in the morning, and she wasn't intent on startling him.
