Kiyoshi pulls Shinah into their private room leading a crowd of girls at the door to sign up with Siyan behind them.
With everyone distracted nobody notices the shadow of a person as they exit out the same room as Shinah.
Shinah grabs a bottle of wine out of Kiyoshi's hands and bites the cork off, her movements slightly aggressive but had an elegant charm.
"And so it begins..." Shinah smiles and continued to drink and entertain the women. Kiyoshi made it his job to switch out Shinah's wine with juice and brought in refreshments and kept the customers from getting to 'handsy' with Shinah. While Siyan kept the record of the customers names and payments. He kept a steady flow of customers going in and out after scheduled times.
Shinah leaned back against the sofa her face flushed and golden eyes slightly glazed seemingly drunk.
Shinah looked towards Siyan casually and notices that his brush was balancing on the ink grinder.
"It's time.." she huffed under her breath. It was time to trick the system!
She looked up and noticed a familiar face of the woman she dragged into her announcement.
Shinah stood up and wobbled before catching her balance.
Shinah swayed toward the girl and plops down in a seat near her. She props her hand under her chin, her black hair fell gently at the side of her face she smiles towards the girl with bright blue eyes and long blue black hair.
"Hey Little Blue, do you enjoy burning a hole in your pocket."
The girl blushes innocently and looks up at Shinah with sadness and understanding in her eyes. "....I know how much it hurts to be alone when ... your world is taken from you." She looks down and clutches the cloth in her hands tightly.
"Ahh you too know the sting of heartache... tell me Little Blue who's hurt you? And shall me and my brothers go rough him up a bit?"
"Oh...Ahem... it's ...my love ... ahh no, well you see it's not like that ... it's just I trusted my brother. And he betrayed me by running off and telling my father of the man I fancied and ... now I haven't seen or heard from Theo in the past three months....
I didn't even get the chance to tell him how I felt.
And there's no way for me to tell him now... I don't even know if he's being treated well." She covers her face and her shoulders tremble slightly as she cries.
"Those Bastards, don't worry Little Blue.. I'm sure Knight Theo knew how much you loved him." Shinah pats her back softly and whispers into her ear before gently pulling her up.
Shinah stands up admiring all the chaos around her. "Ladies ....may I have your attention please. I appreciate your contribution for tonight's private request but I do have to apologize. Tonight's more about numbers over intimacy. So I decided to change it up a bit... to all those who've yet to have a chance to be entertained by yours truly.... don't be discouraged. For you will all have the opportunity of a lifetime to be apart of our "Cover Concert". For anyone with the Desire ...and money for it can register to join me at the end of the night with a private concert. Where my brothers and I will entertain you with one last song. However you all shall play a part in choosing the song from this 'Covers collection'." Shinah pulls out a small scroll handing it over to Siyan. "This handsome gentleman and Little Blue here will be exchanging your money for a spot and vote of song of your choice, so be patient and line up.." Shinah turns away from the crowd and pushes Little Blue towards the sign up table.
'Kitten ..don't even think of bringing her along! You always bring home stray dogs. I won't be responsible for feeding this one too!' A voice chimed in her mind angrily.
'Whatever do you mean? What dogs have I brought home aside from your Master and you? Hehe.. have you finished setting up?' Shinah jokingly conversed with Little ShiiShii.
'Who you calling a dog ... Littttle Kitten..'He sighs. 'Everything is set up on this side... except the girl. Why didn't you send her this way?'
'She has five hidden Knights around her, getting her to walk off on her own to meet my main man in the shadows ... Pft I'd win the lottery before that would ever come to pass...Besides she's not the girl for the performance...' Shinah laughs walking into the forest surrounding the back of the manor.
