In the kitchen

Jade ~ Runaway Geisha

Jade did not acknowledge outside of noticing briefly the response of her own bown. She looked at her. "I am the one who is supposed to be of assistance to you." Came the emotionally detached and not fully present voice of the almost animated doll sounding mutant creature. The eyes held no life as she spoke. Her tone held no confusion yet the complex of the words even in that tone told that Lin's comment about being of assistance was not one she understood. "As a geisha it is my duty to service higher status in society in any and all needs or means that they are requiring or demand of me." Came the trained response that held no acknowledgment of emotion or caring. There was no soul there. Lifeless and not even in the way Kenos was. There was literally no sign of connection to anything or anyone.

"I ran away during war from the evil madam of geisha house." She said and yet there wasn't even a sign of fear or upset. Not any sign or acknowledgment that she was safe. It was as if it did not matter at all. "I escaped the woman who brutally slaughtered my parents and kidnapped me. Turned me into her geisha at the red light style geisha house." Tathy of caring or recognition of the fact her parents were dead. Pain or sorrow had no place. No emotional attachment existed even slightly. There was no sign of familial love or connection to them other than they were parents

Anyone from asia would know that as the sex geisha houses as the red light geisha house type.

In the kitchen

Lin listened without a word. Although her face remained perfectly emotionless, she was particularly bothered by the confidence of the young geisha in front of her. First of all, she was particularly young to be already a full pledged geisha and not a maiko, second, confiding herself in such a manner to a perfect stranger was everything but the behavior of a true geisha, third the content of her story was particularly traumatizing. She did not understand at all why the woman in front of her was here.
She blinked then opened an arm to invite Jade to follow her inside the Inn.

Once in the main part of the Inn, the tea master looked around, trying to find someone who could help her as she had no idea how to deal with Jade.

Zulma recognized the cry and stood up immediately, excusing herself to Sosol. As she made a couple of steps towards the door, it opened and Adam stepped in. She walked to him with a worried look on her face.
"Adam? What is the matter? Are you alright?"

Zulma's brows furrowed. "How is that possible? Do you have an idea?" She asked, puzzled. This was indeed quite strange. "Has someone touched them?" she added, looking at the gardener.

"hmmmm..." Zulma hummed thoughtful, eyes distant a moment.
"I think that as long as we have not figured that out, we should probably not eat anything coming from the garden, what do you think?" she asked, golden gaze on Adam's face. She felt sorry for suggesting something like that but it was probably safer.
Her lips smiled almost tenderly, Adam was such a cute man.

Zulma smiled back to Adam, nodding.
"Good. I am sure all you grew will be yummy. Just in case, if anything makes fruit, we need to be cautious." the idea of having fruits or vegetables now despite the weather sounded quite puzzling, but if Adam said that magic was used, they should be ready for anything.

She patted his shoulder. "As for tasting, sure, but please be careful." she said gently.

"If anything bears fruit at this time of year out there, I wouldn't eat a bite of it." he frowned slightly. "It always tastes wrong...forced. Imported is one thing, but unnatural timing is an ugly flavour."

Jade didnt care. There was a gaze to her. "You don't like me? Why should I care?" She said rather unemotionally. She didn't follow her. Instead she began to walk with that animated version. She was glad the woman had gone away. She wasn't very social. The woman might be wanting to help or sympathize...what was sympathy? What was sympathy.

She looked at Lin and if the lifeless eyes could kill they would be shooting emotionless daggers at Lin. She wasn't angry but was this woman? Was her forced life her fault that it angered the other woman enough to sick other humans on her? Not that she felt anything about it. She dismissed Lin without any look of disdain anger or anything. The withdrawing happened ten fold as she walked around looking for a plant. "No. I just want to photosynthesis with the plants. Or eat some plants to fill hunger." Came the empty voice. Emotional detachment evident in every word.

She started walking again. She said nothing as she walked around. Seemingly wilting with each step. Her skin was seeming to be loosing life and nutrients. She'd been feeding internally off her own feelings. She looked at Kenos. Then looked away. Continuing to weakly walk as she needed to find plant.

Kenos stood when he saw the young woman looking at Lin ready to kill. He moved quickly and got within the young womans way. he would not have any issues hurting that girl if she showed any intentions of aggressions. When she did not he merely moved away from the others to sit against the wall by the kitchen again.


(sorry I am so inattentive. I didn't even realize sweatdrop sweatdrop I don't normally make that sort of mistake sad I'm really sorry.)
