[wanders in, looking a bit befuddled]

Ah, excuse me... is this an accountants' hang-out, or a tea shop?

[curious_copycat]

[Polly blinks at him, slipping down from her perch.]

Accountants...? Oh! No, it's a tea shop! Would you like some tea? We have all kinds!

[itsnotzura]

[bows politely]

Ah, I would, thank you... I am sorry for the confusion. I did not mean to slander your establishment in anyway, Shopkeep-dono.

[curious_copycat]

[After a moment, she bows in return and gives him a cheerful (if somewhat uncertain) smile.]

It's no trouble! We haven't been here very long. I think it was a sandwich shop, before--maybe accountants did hang out there.

[She motions to the wall behind her, which contains shelves upon shelves of labeled jars, each containing a different kind of tea.]

What kind would you like?

[itsnotzura]

Waah, so many to choose from... truly I have been paralyzed with the overwhelming choice of the matter.

What would Shopkeep-dono recommend?

[Polly turns and regards the shelves, herself, considering.]

Welllll, the black Currant Darjeeling is really good. And so's the Lapsang Souchong... And I like the peachberry jasmine sutra best, right now...

[curious_copycat]

But... what's a dono..?

My name is Polly, actually.

[itsnotzura]

Mine is Katsura. It is nice to meet you, Polly-dono. -- The babelfish does not seem to like eating honourifics. It is a denotation of mu subservience to you.

[scanning the items suggested, adds]

You are very forward, Polly-dono -- usually a shopkeeper is very reluctant to give his name and establish personal ties, preferring to keep business as business, for at least a few weeks!

[curious_copycat]

It's nice to meet you, too!

[She gives a small, contemplative frown.]

Why would you be subservient to me? I'm nobody special...

[She blushes, a bit self conscious.]

And I haven't been a shopkeeper very long. I'm still learning how.
