Kaidreni smiled at the sun, she was happy to be here along way from horrible parents and cold tortall. After reaching the yamani coast, Kai had slept late, and then decided to explore the city and it's many shops. She had found in Corus that she had greatly enjoyed shopping and had already looked in many windows at dresses and yamani weapons. One day, Kai would like to learn how to use them. After an exhausting two hours of window shopping, Kai had not bought anything and made her way back to the Tortallan embassy and lay down exhausted on her bed. Where do I eat? Her hungry brain asked her. Kai got to her feet again, brushed her hair and walked back downstairs and out the double doors. She headed towards the beach, and once there, plonked herself on the sand. The walk had made her even more hungry, she hoped she would bump into someone she knew- who would tell her where the cafes were.

Kitana walked along the waters edge, soaking up the warm rays of sun and the cool ocean breeze. The fresh air had definitely been needed to clear Kit's head of her current problems. Mainly, her dieing restaurant.
The sea water rushed up to greet the young Yamani, rising to her knees before sinking back. Kitana brushed at the strands of hair that were softly blowing in the wind. Looking out at sea, she frowned. It didn't matter here. No one was around to witness her act of weakness.
Kit sighed as she realized that she had gone to the exact spot where she and her friend had first met. She had never been comfortable referring to Sanyu as her husband, and had reverted back to calling him a friend after his death. Not out loud, of course. She shook her head and then continued on her way.

Kaidreni stared at the water, containing her ravenous hunger, at least if she feinted the strong sea air would bring her back to reality. Just go and eat something then. Her brain told her. Just pick somewhere and go and buy some food! half her brain told her, but what if I'm not meant to buy food in certain places, maybe it's a custom or something, I've got no idea about traditions or anything! Better hungry than being sent back to tortall for doing the wrong thing. The other, sillier part of her brain replied. A woman walked at the waters edge and Kaidreni's hunger topped her fear of doing wrong, She walked over, and tried in vain not to get her shoes wet. "Excuse me," She said in common. "Can you help me? I'm not sure where I'm supposed to eat... I've never been here before, and they didn't tell me where we're supposed to eat..." Her face felt a little warm, she was embarassed for asking such a stupid question.

Kitana looked up to see a young woman. She was from Tortall, that was for sure, and was probably even a part of Jazz's party. What a small world...or island. Kit smiled. She didn't feel like she needed to wear her Yamani mask with the foreigner.
"That's okay." she told the Tortallan in her own, perfectly unaccented language. Having traveled equally between the two lands and being part Tortallan herself, Kit had had plenty of practice.
She put her hand out to greet the newcomer. "I'm Kitana. I own a restaurant not far from here, where Tortallan and Yamani dishes are served."

Kaidreni was glad The woman was smiling, and very surprised when she found the woman had no hint of yamani in her accent in fact she sounded more tortallan than yamani. "I'm Kitana. I own a restaurant not far from here, where Tortallan and Yamani dishes are served." Kaidreni smiled, and shook the outstretched hand. "I'm Kaidreni," Kai looked at the woman more closely, the face was slightly familiar, but she didn't know why. She had never seen this woman in her life before.

"Nice to meet you Kaidreni." Kitana greeted in a friendly, yet soft voice. Usually being very shy around strangers, Kit was a little surprised that she was able to speak so calmly. Maybe it was the possibility that this girl was a friend of her sisters that made her more confident; more willing to be open. Kitana didn't know. She just knew that she was able to look Kaidreni in the eyes and still have her voice. It was a nice change.
When Kitana noticed the other girl looking more closely at her, she grinned wider. "You're with the delegation party, are you not? If so, I believe you know my sister....Jasminai of Carmine Tower? My other sister, Katya, is also with that group."

"You're with the delegation party, are you not? If so, I believe you know my sister....Jasminai of Carmine Tower? My other sister, Katya, is also with that group." "Yes, and I do know both Jasminai and Katya," She told the Yamani woman, she was extremely surprised that Kitana knew she was from the delegation, and it was just plain strange that Kitana was related to Jazz and Katya, Kai hadn't known they had another sister. "How did you guess?" She asked, grinning.

"The only Tortallans that I know of here on the island are the ones for the peace talk." Kitana answered. "It was the only guess I had. Hopefully you're enjoying your stay here."
She smiled and then pointed to a dark red roof sticking out among a sea of black and brown. It was fairly close. "That's the Golden Wok. We can start heading there if you like."

"Yes, the clothes are so colourful, and the city is very beautiful." Kai replied and looked at the building Kitana was pointing to. "Could we?" She asked politely, Imagining food. She wondered why Kitana was not at her restaurant now, it was probably opening time, and a lot of the other restaurants seemed to be full. But Kai was definately glad the woman had been on the beach, otherwise she might have stayed all afternoon being hungry.

"Absolutely." she smiled and began to walk in the direction of her restaurant. With a wave of her hand, she added "Right this way."
The Golden Wok was currently closed, but Kitana figured that she could open it up just for Kaidreni. There hadn't been any customers earlier that day, so Kit didn't feel that she had missed anything. Now, Kitana thought of how she needed all the business she could get. She hadn't been following Jazz's advice of better advirtisement, but hopefully she could pick that up soon.
She looked over at her companion. "How long do you plan on staying on the island?"

Kaidreni followed her to the Golden Wok. It certainly looked closed, and Kaidreni wondered why there were no costomers now, there were many people about. She hoped it would not be too much of a hasal for Kitana to open the place up for Kaidreni to eat in, she didn't want to be any trouble. "As long as the delegation stays here, I don't really have anything else to do. And there would be no way of me getting home anyway, the talks should be interesting and I love the city." Kai said, hoping she was not talking to much, there might be customs about people speaking a certain amount- especially if they were guests in the country.

Kitana listened as she removed a key from her pant's pocket and inserted it into the lock. She pushed open the sliding doors, leaving her sandals out on a mat before entering. Kit then made her way around the room, opening windows and another door on the opposite wall of the entrance. Light filled the cozy restaurant and a slight breeze made it's way through.
She went back to Kaidreni and pointed to the tables, that were so close to the floor that your only option would be to sit on the mats provided there. "You can take a seat wherever and I'll bring you our menus."

Kaidreni followed the woman inside and looked around. Sitting on a mat on one of the tables, it was an interesting way to lay it out, with the small tables and the comfy rugs, and Kai liked it. It felt a little less formal than the place they had eaten the night before. "Thanks." She said to Kitania. She was glad for the breeze, for outside it had been a very hot day.

"You're welcome." Kitana smiled. She went to fetch a menu. A few moments later, she returned with a menu and sat it in front of Kaidreni.
"Here you go. It's mostly Yamani dishes, but the back has the Tortallan ones." She didn't think she that she was forgetting anything. The restaurant was empty, and she could easily cook a meal for one person. No need to call in one of the two other cooks. Kit almost sighed. She really needed to dig up some money to hire more help. And perhaps better advirtising. Maybe she'd ask Kaidreni about it later.

Kaidreni picked out a Yamani dish, with rice and Chicken. "Could I have this one please?" She asked, pointing to it. She wondered wether the yamani woman had any other help, she must have some other cooks, But what about waitresses? Maybe Jazz's sister wasn't doing enough about looking for staff, but as this was none of her business she did not ask- it might sound nosy.
