Should Yuuka have broken Reimu’s jaw? No. Does she really regret her actions? No. Really it’s not even hypocritical. If Reimu broke… no, if Hana or Marisa broke her jaw for what she did, Yuuka wouldn’t protest. Still, she can think about those things later, Hana is here after all!

Seizing on the moment before Marisa or any of the others can, Yuuka waves her over to the seat beside her, “Hana! Come in, come in! It must be freezing out there, wait a moment I’ll make some tea to warm you up.”

As Hana shifts off her coat and comes over with her pet, Yuuka sees to pouring her a cup of the good stuff. As Yuuka waves down a few dolls for sugar and milk, Hana asks, “What’s… all this? N-Not that I don’t appreciate it, but….”

Yuuka concludes, “It’s a little overwhelming? I can imagine, I had planned for a smaller group but it seems word got out. I’ll see to that lat-”

Yuuka is cut off by Hana suddenly choking on her drink, “Bleh who’d- Sorry! Sorry! If you like-”

Yuuka chuckles at the face Hana’s making before she raises her hand to silence the girl, “You… No… You aren’t supposed to drink that as is. It’s a bitter tea you sweeten like so. Oh, and thank you dears.”

The dolls curtsie as Yuuka stirs in the sugar and then milk. “There, that’s a palatable drink. I suppose it’s my fault, you mostly drink less bitter teas then.”

Hana nods, “I don’t see the point of taking something bitter and making it sweet.”

Yuuka shrugs, “It gives it a richer profile. Besides, there’s something to be said about the ability to shape something just the way you like.”

Hana frowns for a moment before suddenly replying with a harsher tone, “I didn’t get to adjust my tea.”

Aunn interjects, “I didn’t even get any tea in the first place.”

Ignoring the dog, Yuuka tuts, “My apologies, I’m so used to the way Wriggle drinks it that I didn’t even think to ask. That’s why it’s sweet enough to kill a fairy if you were wondering.”

It’s quiet for a moment, prompting Yuuka to wonder what it was that she said. Maybe it’s just a teenage girl thing. It’s been a long time since she had to deal with them and their… particularities. Looking at Hana’s face seems to confirm this as it shifts faster than a sunflower chasing the… that’s not that fast. Faster than the fairies run when she gets the shovel.

Finally, Hana says, “It’s fine, I shouldn’t have… So I umm never got an answer. I appreciate it, but why now? It’s not actually my birthday.”

Yuuka humms as she takes a sip of tea, “Dates… they’re arbitrary things at times. Need it be the actual date of your birth to celebrate you? It feels foolish to just ignore it because you were indisposed on the actual day.”

Aunn concurs, “Yeah! You’re super awesome every day anyways so really we should be doing this every day.”

Yuuka begins to contemplate, “Every day… I wouldn’t be opposed, though I feel Alice might have words… Heaven too.”

That grabs Hana’s attention, “Heaven? Why would they care?”

Yuuka turns her attention to her tea, “I may have gotten in some hot water with heaven while procuring your present. Nothing you need to worry about though. The secret is that Heaven really just hides behind its name nowadays. All you have to do is ignore the fees they send you and burn the court summons and it’s like they don’t exist.”

Hana slowly nods, “Burn Heaven’s summons… right… simple.”

Yuuka sighs as she finishes her tea, “ Quite, though it seems I have kept you for about as long as my reputation allows. I reckon any longer and Youkai will begin trying to talk over me. Go out, have fun. When you’re ready for your presents tell me so I can fetch you it.”

Hana smiles, “I’ll be sure to, thanks for the tea… even if it’s…”

Yuuka tuts, “What? Too bitter for your unrefined palate?”

Hana shakes her head, “Too sweet. It's way too sweet. I like sweet but…”

Yuuka huffs, “Bring it up with Wriggle. She’s been sulking in that corner ever since Alice put her foot down about bringing other bugs into the house. I think she wanted to show you ‘all the really cool bugs of Gensokyo’ or something.”

Back from Seiga's rape dungeon. Things have moved away from my original plans, though I like this better than anyhow. My only issue is regarding Yukari. It was my original plan that Yukari shows up to take Hana to receive her special present (raping Anon, hence the Kasen stuff and adjusting the barriers of her lust/reason) and that she'd get into a tussle with the hags that'd spiral into Cascading violations of spell card rules that'd end with Mima channeling all of her grudge into her knife and stabbing Yukari to stop her from just snatching Hana There are a lot more characters in attendance now and I don't want to step on any toes by doing that out of the blue. Still, it's pretty important for Mima's development and it makes sense for a skirmish to happen. Am I good to have it conclude that way and potentially pull in some of Yukari's allies?
