Well, [ the voice comes from behind the bar as Cisco crouches down. She's kind of a tiny thing, really, at five-feet-four. ]
I think the better question is actually what don't we have.
[ She sets out four bottles of her personal favorites: Benedictine, red wine -- Moscato, an old favorite, and imported straight from her husband's family vineyard, the ever reliable Bailey's and Greygoose ( Hikaru introduced her to that. )
She smiles as she slips out her pack of cigarettes and lights up, before she sets one hand on her hip. ]
This is my stash. But I can grab you something from the backroom if you'd like something else. We don't open until seven tonight, so.
[ She'll skip everything and just tell Cisco absolutely nothing of it. Except maybe the last bit. ]
Hikaru... gave me my oni-tsukai mask. He said Saxon and Breton made it with him.
[ There's a small, shy blush on her cheeks. Mostly because she didn't think the three of them would make the mask for her; she figured she would have to make it herself. Partly because she remembers when he'd given it to her, and it was an embarrassing memory. ]
[ It's oddly surprising how Yulia speaks of the mask but not the rite itself. One would think that she'd be proud to at least make mention of how she'd beaten the Blade King.
Cisco isn't going to push though. ]
I remember when those two were still boys.
[ A beat, and then: ] What does your mask look like? If you don't mind describing it to me.
[ No. She's not proud of that. She'll never talk about it, Cisco. ]
I know they are older than me, but sometimes it is hard to remember, with all the things they do. [ She's not complaining. If anything, she's very fond of Saxon and Breton. Anyway-- ]
The mask, it's-- it's beautiful. [ She means 'scary.' ] Half-mask, covering the lower half of the face; it is dark red, almost black. It is a smiling mask. [ Yeah. With sharp fangs and a sinister grin. But considering she said it was the Brands and Hikaru who made it, Cisco might figure that out. ]

[ She takes a puff. ]

No, this is fine.
[ And since Cisco is smoking, she brings out her own pack to light up as well. ]

Pouring you both a glass each, and then sliding yours over on a coaster before she heads back from behind the bar. ]
So. How'd it go?
[ She's genuinely curious. ]
no subject
Pretty good.
[ Not to her, though. Fucking Brigade. Fucking Taning. ]
no subject
She's giving you an encouraging look now. She wants details. ]

It sounds beautiful. [ She's going to pour drinks for you both now. ] Maybe I'll get the chance to see it sometime.
[ It's an offer, spoken softly. He own mask is tucked away. She's always been more active under Netsach than Zangyaku. ]

Well, it has been a while. It'll be nice to drop in.

[ This is Yulia Bostova, admitting that she likes you, Cisco. ]

Then I'll check in.
[ The forested area of Kibo was always a good alternative for a fox to run around in, after all. ]
