At Mother Nanahatsu's Okiya, she sat in front of the small table in the living area drinking the hot tea that Suzu had just brought to her. Quietly she thought to herself as the two geisha sat before her almost worried. Lord Dymio Hitarugi had just paid a substantial amount of money towards the new twin's mizuage. Suzu held the tray that she brought the tea on close to her chest as she narrowed her eyes away from Mother Nana. When Mother Nana saw this, she could do nothing but chuckle to herself. "Why so worried young one? You just debuted as a new maiko. There is nothing to be worried over or sad. There are plenty of buyers other than that of Lord Dymio Hitarugi my child." Mother Nana took another sip of her tea and sighed contently.<br/><br/>Suzu looked over at Mishiko for comfort whom only nodded at her younger sister before returning to sipping her own tea. Since becoming a junior geisha she couldn't help but feel sorry for Suzu, who had high hopes for the bidding. She still had a small ways to go and had many more opportunities than she had dreamed. Mishiko knew very well that her mizuage also hadn't been sold. Especially at 24. But for Mother Nana, it was much  more important that she feel good about the buyer than the actual money. The only thing that pained her the most was the fact that she was that age and so many men had come and gone, she wasn't sure if Mother Nana could continue to treat her as such a rarity.<br/><br/>"Mother is right. There are other men out there. Sometimes it's better for us to just sit and wait." Mishiko held her tea cup close to her chest. Suzu could only believe in her sister, since she had been leading her in the right direction for quite sometime now.
