Greenhorn [closed for plot]
WHO: Hitachiin Kaoru and Kristoph Gavin
WHAT: A business meeting
WHERE: Teahouse
WHEN: Day 27 (back-logged), mid-day
It looked like a snap-shot from back home in Japan: tatami mats on the floor, low tables to sit at, the alcove for the flower arrangement,and the expectation of removing your shoes.
If Kaoru wasn't well aware of how modern Japan had become, he'd feel out of place in the business suit he now wore to meet with Mr. Gavin.
'Urgent information' the man had said. That had Kaoru worried more than anything else. Maybe I should have requested protection today... or a watcher at least... or left a note for Gin-san...
Flipping open his phone, Kaoru simultaneously made sure he still had service as well as a good battery and what time it was.
11:15am... Fifteen minutes before the appointed meeting time. With that, Kaoru stepped out of his chauffered car - a Monacello driver, of course - and made his way into the establishment.
