Listen & Read

Tiatsu followed perfectly behind his guide Kideme. Going up another few flights of stairs and entering a new area that eliminated all the previous noise of the bustling tea house. All of the décor was white. Which was nice change from all the excessive floral and color heavy rich designs of the lower levels in his own personal opinion. Though the smell of tea and sake was a nice tinge touch to the whole atmosphere. It felt like a proper business deal in the making. All it needed was an overdressed dignitary and a small room. Which that would be provided as soon as they entered the office room at the highest point of the tea house. There at a small table sat what he presumed to be Kideme’s mother and her father directly next to her. Unlike the lady, the old man had seemed like his days of work were over. Maybe he just came to bear witness and give possible input who knew?

Tiatsu didn’t kneel when directed, he sat down with his legs crossed over one another and then he proceeded to listening to what she had to say at the beginning. Give him a moniker of ‘famous’ was enough of an eye roll. Mentioning she thought he was a full-grown man when he is still a teenager for the most part. Physically that’s very apparent. As for mentally? That’s a matter of opinion. Once she stopped for a moment he interjected.

“My name has gotten around it seems. That could either be good or bad for me at this rate. I’m not famous nor do I want to be. My father carries more fame and we both do nothing of note. As for your daughter. I’m her bodyguard from now on. Which that clause will be a part of what we will discuss moving forward.” When he stopped she picked back up. She plainly asked him why he would want to open a gambling den.

So, he answered an honest question with an honest answer.

“I need money. To do things, to follow my goals and go down the path of my exploits. Gambling is the fastest way to attract big pockets and desperate chumps into spending money on the hopes of doubling or tripling profit. Plus, we both know that shed isn’t getting much usage anyways. I’d give you a 35% cut of all profits. Once the place gets a steady clientele. I can pay for the initial building and modifying of it on my own. It has the possibility to franchise and extend the Sagara reach overall. Then to solidify my loyalty to your company and prove to you I’m serious. I will protect your daughter as she goes on an exodus to witness other geisha from all over the lands. Of course, you could probably hire someone stronger than me. But, not only am I free. But unlike a mercenary I have -.”

Tiatsu began to somewhat choke up on his words and embarrassingly sputtered it out.

“Have an emotional attachment to Kideme. Meaning my word won’t sway to the fatter pocket of another offer. All in all, you win here at nearly every angle. I only win if you give me the right to WIN.”
