Then Yara set out a copper bowl at the edge of the stage, explaining<strong>"for tips</strong>" and then leaving Miyuki to it.   Velma gave Miyuki a quick kiss on the cheek and said,<strong>"If I'm not back in one hour, send Yara up to save me from myself, ok?" </strong>Then the young woman was gone, dashing up the stairs and leaving Miyuki to play.<br/><br/>If it ws an hour, it was just barely over, before Velma came stumbling back down the stairs a broad grin plastered across her face and her clothing in obvious dissaray.  The tavern was fairly crowded now and Miyuki had made several gold in tips as she'd played, pleased with how appreciative the audience seemed to be.  In fact several people seemed to really like her 'exotic new' songs that they'd never heard before.  As she stepped down off the stage a polite round of applause greeted her and a few groans that the music was done.  But Velma said,<strong> "Sorry, they are hard to get away from.  They were also dissapointed that I didn't bring you up and made me promise to bring you back sometime to meet them.  You know, when you have time.  So where too next Milky?  Not Ylene's please, I couldn't take it if she decided she wanted a little R&amp;R after what the sisters just put me through."</strong>
