Tea Time For The Quincy (NDE)[Open Thread]

[Ukyiou Kenseikyto]

"Here you go sir, enjoy your tea."

Ukyiou gave a nod to the waitress who had set done his order before him with a smile before pouring his tea and taking a sip. He knew that the girl was interested in him, many were after all, but he wasn't going to be giving her any false hope or confused messages. He wasn't the sort of guy to mess with a female's feelings, he knew how delicate they actually were. No, he was going to simply be polite and that was all, let her understand his disinterest on her own, being blatant about it would only seem rude and injure her further.

He merely continued enjoying his Earl Grey Tea silently by himself in the shop. It was a quiet area, just at the south edge of the shopping district and away from the majority of the buzz and commotion created by the many shops and stores. Which was Ukyiou took a liking to it in his short time of Karakura town. Not to mention their tea was great, and it was a nice place to get away from the scorching heat that was outside in the summer days. He felt like he was being baked outside lately, so he was happy to be rid of the heat. Even in his white clothes and casual wear, he was able to sweat easily, such a task was not a breeze - no pun intended.

He slowly and carefully put his cup down, making sure not to break the delicate ceramic, and then peered about. He couldn't see anyone of real true interest, nor sense in strong Reiatsu in the area. But of course it was easy to hide someone Spiritual pressure, and Ukyiou was not at all at sensing someone anyway. More than likely though, anyone who was good at such things would be able to notice Ukyiou in the area, the Quincy wasn't much at being able to suppressing his Reiatsu, so any spiritual being could find him if they had the interest. More than likely that would turn out to be a bad thing in the end. Battle-prone individuals were so annoying, and difficult to get rid of, Ukyiou always was having trouble with them. Bothersome people indeed.

[Sashi Phoenix]

Sashi was down in the shopping district. She wasn't an avid shopper, but her mom needed to get some things and she didn't feel like staying inside the house. It was a new day and everyone was going about their business. It was sometime in the afternoon. Sun was glaring up overhead with its bright rays and warm. A few clouds, but there were no predictions of rain on this date. That might've changed though. Her mom had separated from her for a moment to grab some items. Sashi was to stay close. Of course the girl was getting rather bored and decided she would head somewhere else close to hang out.

Her cane tapped against the pavement as she walked. Her ears could pick up the taps of the cane. It was a rather quiet part of town. The sun hit against her exposed skin. She was wearing a t-shirt and some jean capris with sneakers. Her hair was pulled up into a singular ponytail. Black shades covered the girl's grayish brown eyes. This was not due to the sunlight. She could not even see the Sun and its fiery rays hitting all those who were outside. She could feel it though and boy was it hot. The girl wanted a place to cool down. There had to be a place somewhere.

She then realized that she was somewhat lost. She knew she was within the shopping district. She couldn't have possibly trailed off that far. The blind teenager stopped in her tracks. Well then, this was quite a predicament. She hated getting lost, especially when she had Mom or somebody close by. It was bad enough trying to get permission to leave the house on her own. Plus come on now, she was born and raised here! Sure she was blind, but how in the world could she have gotten lost in a town she knew all her life? Oh well isn't this just freaking brilliant?

She was located in front of a cafe. Of course she couldn't read the sign. A sigh was released from her lips as she stood outside. Now what could she do that wouldn't involve giving her mom a heart attack?

[Ukyiou Kenseikyto]

He stayed for a few more moments in silence, enjoying the time he had to himself, as it was rare whenever inside a town such as Karakura. Slowly sipping on his tea, Ukyiou peered about the Cafe, looking at the people around him. There were four other people inside the Cafe, a couple that sat three seats in front of him, obviously out doing some shopping - the guy being dragged along - and decided to get out of the heat just like Ukyiou did. An old gentlemen sat in the back corner reading the paper, and another guy was on his laptop working on something, more then likely a college piece.

"Is there anything else you would like? Anything at all?" The waitress had returned to Ukyiou's table without his knowledge, she must have arrived while he was looking at everyone else and not paying attention. It was sad a normal person could sneak up on him, but it didn't really matter to him.

"No thank you, I'm fine." A frown showed in her face before she turned and walked away. Ukyiou only let out a small sigh and stood up, pulling out a few bills and setting them on the table on walking to the door. He nodded to the elder man in the corner on the way out, and gave a smile to the college student who gave him a nod in return. It was nice to see that some people were still polite in this world.

The door to the Cafe opened with the loud ring of a bell, signalling someone was leaving, or entering depending on the situation. Ukyiou was fumbling with the pendant about his neck as he left, and thus didn't notice the girl that was in front of him until the last second. He managed to spin around to the right, missing Sasha by a hair and nearly causing himself to fall to the floor. Once he regained his ground to turned to the girl with an apologetic face. "Sorry, that was my fault. I wasn't-"

Ukyiou paused for a moment, noticing that there was something odd about the girl. In her hand was a cane, and she seemed to normal in appearance otherwise. Though he did see that she was wearing dark sunglasses, which could have be hiding her eyes from people so they don't notice she might be blind. Yet despite all this, Ukyiou couldn't be sure. Either way, it was still his fault that he almost ran straight into her. "I wasn't paying attention. Sorry about that. Are you okay?"

[Sashi Phoenix]

Well this meant that she had to figure something out. Should she stay or move in the opposite direction? It was a rather interesting discussion that she had never had to face. Maybe it would've helped if she was able to see. Children who could see sometimes learned stuff that she didn't. Or maybe it was because she had overprotective parents that insisted on having someone follow her from place to place until recently. Yeah, that would probably explain it. Sashi was so much in thought the bell disrupted her thinking.

A store...maybe she could go in and figure out where she was from there. Then she remembered what a bell ringing on a door represented. Somebody was getting out! Quickly she attempted to move out the way but she moved a little too late. However the person did not hit her. It seemed like they had moved at the last second or something. Blinking under her shades, she then heard a voice and turned in the direction of the voice. Of course she couldn't see, but it was only respectful to look at someone while they were addressing her.

"Don't worry about it, sir. I'm just fine. I probably shouldn't stand in front of the door!" She however did notice the pause between words. Maybe he saw the cane or something. It was a rather typical response. Her mind shrugged it off. "I just got myself a little lost. Silly considering the years I've been here, but hey, stuff happens." Yes, stuff did really happen. Hopefully everything would be settled without trouble.
