Suzu took note of what Mishiko had said. Sure, he wasn't the only man that could buy mizuage. But at the same time the things that had bothered her the most was the fact that those girls had been bought aside from herself. Perhaps because there were two rather than just one. Or the fact that she was younger, but that had been only by one year. How unfair. Was she  not as beautiful as the other girls or more suitable? She held the tray tightly against her chest, her thoughts taking over and  her feelings beginning to overwhelm her. Mishiko shot a glance at her, one that was caring and reassuring. Suzu could only smile a bit to herself.<span style="font-style: italic">Right, it's okay. There are others.</span><br/><br/>Before long, Mishiko gracefully stood from her place and bowed to their Mother. "Please excuse us Oka-san, Suzu needs to practice the shamisen for the upcoming event and I need to prepare our kimonos for tonight. Somethings you do have to wait for, but for something to happen we have to make things happen should we not?" Her golden eyes narrowed over to her younger sister, who quickly rose from her place and bowed to their Mother as well.<br/><br/>"Ah, yes mother. I need to practice. I don't want to let this Okiya down. " Suzu smiled a bit, gaining back her confidence. If there was something that she could do well it would have to be performing. If it hadn't had been for her Nee-san, she wouldn't even have come as far as she had in such a short length of time. And so, Suzu took her leave for the day first out the sliding door and through the front door. Then, Mishiko began to take her leave from the living area on up the stairs to her room and then Suzu's. She had to find a kimono befitting of the night. This time, they would be gaining the next bidder of either Suzu's mizuage or her own.
