Emiko just smiled. "I've so got this. If you don't mind, I need my table to myself long enough to entice him." With that, she went into the ladies room to freshen up a bit. As her hair was thick and long, she fixed it to where the blade was hidden in her large hair bun between the sticks. Normally, the sticks were all she needed but for the Matriarch's case, she made accommodations for the knife and it wasn't visible. She also removed her kimono to apply a touch of perfume on spots of her dragon tattoos running up the sides of her body. She then put her kimono back on and headed for the table and just as she asked, the sisters had gone elsewhere. She sat back in her chair and ordered a bottle of wine and while she waited, packed her kiseru. When the bottle arrived, she sat back enough to where the kimono showed her figure after pouring a glass. She lit the kiseru, inhaled that first big puff and exhaled it upward and made a glance towards the man in the suit. A message was sent to him with the waiter inviting him to join her.
She greeted him when he arrived, her smile matching his. He was a handsome man and he looked powerful. She took notice of his ring and taking his hand, she admired it. She saw no other rings on him. He was single and powerful and to her, a perfect score. Her kimono showed just enough cleavage at the top to draw attention. She played the tired yet bored traveler and that the encounter with the three other women was a failed negotiation to get the last available room on the station.
"New Tokyo is so much better," he explained, "I can take you there." He then smiled deeply as he looked her over, "In a place I know well."
She agreed, needing to take her ship with her so as to not leave it. Before they left, he shared her kiseru with him and along with some wine, took time to earn some trust with him. Collecting her belongings and the bottle, they left for an unknown location on New Tokyo.
