She smiled and knelt in front of him and picked up a plate. She filled it with a little bit of everything and set it before Leon. She then took one of the tea cups on the intricately carved red tray, set it upright in front of Leon and poured a steaming cup of fresh green tea for him. As she waited for him to take a bite, she went over to the door and closed it gently.<br/><br/>Kneeling back in front of Leon, she smiled at him. "I hope you do like it. I helped prepare it today." She said proudly. It wasn't the first time helping out in the kitchen, but it was the first time she had ever made and put to dish an entire meal like this. Usually she was assigned a side dish or a dessert to do when it was her turn to learn to cook that week. It was a unique system the High Mistress had implemented, but a good one. Each geisha not only received training for being a geisha, but to be a good wife as well. It was so that the women under the High Mistress's care would be able to have another life after they had finished being a geisha.
