"Your wish is my command my lord" Kaera said in her silken voice as she poured out the drinks.  She sat and listened patiently for a while as the regal man got out all of the niceties that those of great wealth and poor virtue had to go through for them to 'moralize' the upcoming activity.  But as time went on and the conversation had her getting more and more involved, she found herself no longer waiting for the night to be over with but enjoying Gentatsu's company on an intellectual level.  The two continued to drink and speak, though Kaera was always sure never to drink too much when on duty.<br/><br/>She blushed ab it but managed to hide it behind an ornate fan when he began to bring up the story of her father.  When he asked if she knew anything about it she was about to stumble over a lie when her chin was tapped and he laugehd his own question off.  She watched him get up and decide to go for a walk before they 'slept' and that she should prepare for when he returned.  After he left she stood up and began to clean up the saki and light some of the fragranted candles.  She toyed with the idea of having another companion join them for the night but decided to wait for Gentatsu to return.<br/><br/>She walked by the window as she went to get satin sheets for the bed and saw Gentatsu speaking to Kohaku outside.  She froze and glared out the window, looking down at them.  The wealthiest man that had ever come to this establishment talking to...<em>her</em>.  What did<em>she</em>have that Kaera didn't have? What did<em>she</em>think she was toing talking to Kaera's customer!<em>Maybe she'll join us tonight...</em>she thought as a pang of longing began to reverberate within her.  She closed her eyes and began to fantasize about Kohaku's form entwined with hers in her bed and a rise began to start under her kimono.  She shook her head clear of the image.  She must focus on being ready for Gentatsu's return.
