Akira and Mika enter behind Hatsuyuki and Koyuki. They to can guess why Mother had pulled out the stops with the food. Their guess is that the messenger that had delivered the news from the tea house had been tipped very well. It was to be expected that their flowers would be paid for by the same man.<br/><br/>The girls kneel by their older sister and Koyuki. "Thank you mother," they murmur in tandem to her sentiment. It did not need to be translated what she meant by that. Even when they are older even one of them does manage to attract a danna, which is more than likely given their success already, both sisters think that Mother Yan would find some charge or another to keep them in the okiya.<br/><br/>Mika looks to Hatsuyuki and Yan. "When will he be coming to see us? Or will we be going to him?" It is well known that once the bidding for their mizuages started Mother and Hatsuyuki had started talking with astronomers about a lucky date and a good place for it. Now they are nervous about taking a man's eel into their womanly caves for the first time, but excited about being able to wear the different collar that maiko who have their rite of passage may wear. Also their hair would be done a different way as well.
