(Sorry that I didn't responded earlier. School exams are this week, and lately I've been getting caught up in alot of work. Again, many apologies.)
Natsumi bowed before voicing her answer to the first lesson, frowning slightly once they had been told of their incorrectness. She tried again calmly, adding the suggestion given by the sensei, or 'Mr. Ichiro'. Once again, she bowed. "Konbanwa, sir. My name is Natsumi Oshiro. Though I am just a novice, I hope that your time spent here is pleasurable. If you need anything, I would be more than happy to help you."
Once the lesson carried onto the next, more answers were given by other students. She waited patiently before she spoke, answering the next question with uncertainty in her voice. "Perhaps once you enter, bow before the entire room before introducing yourself as we did in the first lesson, then take a seat by the Geisha?" She hoped this was a correct answer, or something close to it, though she knew that she was merely the student without much knowledge on the subject.

((dont worry you guys, about exams and stuff, im actually typing up my exam as im doing this post xd ))
"Konnichiwa, i take it you are Ao-sagi?" Kyoku check down to the little piece of paper with neat rows of kanji on it. "Please take a seat and pay attention, we arent too far along. Thats very good Natsumi. You all are generally correct and it would be quite polite any of the ways you have described to me. So when you first enter the door of the room you bow and greet all of the geisha first, then you go to each man and introduce yourself the way i showed you, then you find a seat and depending on your rank you may make conversation and pour sake. Since you are novices, stick to pouring sake and let the older maiko and geisha engage in the conversation. As for food preparation, you may be asked by a geisha to find a maid or the mistress of the ochaya to order food, but the geisha will divide the food making it suitable for easy eating. She may ask you for help though, one day, so pay attention when she is doing it so you can mimick her movements."

Mizu absorbed the information about food, chiding herself for not realizing such a thing. She could now clearly remember several occasions where her mother had mentioned the serving of food to a patron, though she had been more absorbed in the romance of the situation at the time. Inclining her head in a very polite nod of understanding, she committed this new piece of information to memory as surely as possible.

kairisesshy "Konnichiwa, i take it you are Ao-sagi?" Kyoku check down to the little piece of paper with neat rows of kanji on it. "Please take a seat and pay attention, we arent too far along. "Hai, sensei-sama. My apologies. I did not mean to interrupt your teaching." Ao-sagi bowed deeply. She pricked up her ears and listened intently, commiting everything to memory as best as she could. ((OOC note: Sorry if I appear slow in response. I'm on european winter time, so I probably will be posting when everyone else is asleep and vice versa.))

Momoko listened carefully and wrote down everything, trying her best to remember everything. She hoped she'd be able to understand this better, but she seemed to be struggling at the moment.

She nodded quickly, making a mental from her own past experience in an ochya and how the geisha had separated and served out the food. She glanced over to Kyoku and smiled as she listened on waiting for the lecture to continue.
Iyasu prayed that through her classes that she might excel and grow into a better maiko and even better geisha. The sixteen - year -old was sure that she would become a successful geisha through the teachings of the geisha around her.

There is the sound of slight tumping from outside the classroom and a girl, 15 years of age, opens the door and stumbles in. She looks a bit flustered from running to the class but otherwise neat. She shuts the door and bows so low her bangs nearly touched the ground she said, "Gomen nasai. I beg forgiveness for arriving so late. My name is Kamiko and would be honored if I may still join this class."

Kikaru nodded and made notes on what the sensei had said. Geisha first, then patrons. Pour sake and always observe the other geisha. Also be quiet and respectful. She heard the door slide open and someone stumble in, she heard the girls name, and took a moment to glance back before looking at the sensei again.

Tsuki quietly walks in, making sure not to interrupt the class that appears to be going on. Bowing by Rune, she tries to show respect. "Please allow me the honor of joining this class, I promise to work hard."

Mizu smiled, noticing the two new maiko from her okiya. She hoped that she could get to know them better.

Momoko looked at the other maiko and felt rather out of place. They all seemed to but getting along and she seemed to be blending into the background. She quickly scolded herself for thinking such bad things and told her it might be better if she continued what she was doing. Unfortunately, her eyes were still sad and she still felt left out.
