Private RP:
Sinful Nana and LordBelialSiXXX Giger knocked on Nanas apartment door, hoping that thew other girl was home and that she hadn't arrived at an awkward time. She had something to show off. And that something was squirming and fussing behind her as she held him by the wrist. "What do you think you're doing?" he snapped indignantly, trying to tear his arm from her grasp. He hadn't really came willingly, Giger had promised to take him shopping afterward for coming out to visit Nana. He hadn't anticipated she'd treat him like he was three, though. "Let go!" he grunted, finally succeeding in freeing his wrist, giving Giger a glare."Oh come on, I was just trying to be safe..." Giger whined over her shoulder, pouting at him.

Nana opened the door, dressed in a kimono. It was practice day for she and Shizue, and she had her shamisen in hand as she saw Giger. "Hey there! I was wondering when you'd come by!" Seeing Nero there as well, her jaw dropped and the little guitar hit the floor. "Oh! Nero! It's a pleasure to finally meet you. I'm Nana." She welcomed them inside, shutting the door behind them. She came to sit beside Shizue, who was sitting on the table top. "Nero, Giger, please allow me to formally introduce Shizue."
Shizue bowed to them both gracefully. "Good evening to you both. Welcome to our home."

Giger blinked, slightly surprised at Nanas attire but grinned. "Hey!" she said, giving her a small wave and stepping inside, pulling Nero along with her. "Oh no way, you woke Shizue up too?" she asked upon seeing her, letting go of Neros wrist now to look the Haltia over. "Hello! Nice to see you're up and about as well" she chirped, giving Shizue a small wave as well. Turning to Nana, she bounced slightly. "She's so cute and...well mannered!"
Once inside, Nero cleared his throat, throwing his hand up to Nana as Giger had done. The motion was awkward for him and he considered it an unusual greeting but he'd seen Giger do it so often that he had assumed it was the proper thing to do now a day. Grabbing his wrist back he made a face before turning to look curiously up at the table, standing on his tip toes now to try and get a better look.

((Just gave me a wooden trunk!))
Nana giggled softly, "Yeah, she woke up just a few days ago. We've been working on her dance off and on, aside from meeting Hime just recently as well." She plucked at the shamisen a little, keeping her tune going. "Shizue is a beautiful dancer. She didn't forget her skills there at all."
She had heard a lot about Giger from Nana before, and she understood her to be the other's romantic interest. In her day it would have been kept quiet and swept under a rug. But in today's time, it was acceptable. She would have to understand. Besides, Nana was a good woman, and honest. She wouldn't do something cheaply, ever. She looked up to Nana, and then to Giger. "If Nero-san desires, he can share the tabletop with me. For us, it is a little better vantage point. Also, if it is pleasing, I would like to dance for you both. Nana-san, can you play my butterfly song?"

"She didn't? That's great, I've been looking forward to seeing her dance" Giger said, enthusiasm in her voice. "Hm?" she blinked at Shizue before brightening. "Oh, right, come on I'll help you up..." she drawled, leaning over to pick up Nero.
Nero snorted, pushing Gigers hands away. "I've got it, I've got it..." he grumbled under his breath, sizing up the empty chair in front of the table. Sighing, he managed to pull himself up onto the seat, and then from the seat to the table top. With a sharp breath, he perched himself on the edge of the table, smoothing out and fussing with his skirt. Once he was sure they were in order he cleared his throat, looking to Shizue and examining her closely.
With a sigh Giger sat in the seat Nero had scaled. She smiled again though, turning to Shizue. "We'd love to see you dance."

Plucking the strings once more to test the notes, she gave a questioning look to her Haltia. "This one, right?"
He seemed to be a very self-sufficient person. But as he sat, she noticed his fussing about his appearance. It added a very cute charm to him. And as she stood, she also checked her kimono for wrinkles. Pulling out the small fan she used for dance, she fanned it back and forth in front of her, mimicking the erratic flight of a butterfly. The dance symbolized the fleetingness of beauty, and she had always called it her own. As it ended and she was kneeling on the floor, her arms thrown out in front of her still in the death position, she felt tears wanting to come. Shizue took an extra moment to compose herself before sitting up, her face a mask without emotion once more.

Nero sat back a bit, supporting his weight with his arm. He watched curiously as Shizue began to dance. He had heard of geisha only recently, Giger had told him about them. Said that this woman was one and he thought she fit the description well. As she continued to dance, he had to admit that he was quite enamored with her graceful movements, she was a good dancer. He clapped gently, when her dance was through. It was the proper thing to do, or so he figured.
Giger was as equally enthused as Nero, following suite and clapping gently. "That was really cool!" she chirped. "I liked your paying as well" she added, looking to Nana.

She smiled and gave another bow to them both. "Thank you very much." She couldn't even begin to describe the value of their approval. "I am also proficient at tea ceremony, although there aren't any implements of my current size to use. My other skills are all conversation-based." Shizue hoped that would be enough to keep her companions entertained.
Nana blushed and moved a little closer to Giger. "Thanks. I've been practicing for a long time."

"Tea ceremony?" Nero asked curiously. Giger knew next to nothing about making tea, thus she couldn't make him any. He missed drinking tea but couldn't make it for himself. "Hm, hopefully you'd be better versed in conversation than this one" he said with a nod to Giger. "It might be a nice change of pace to have some stimulating conversation..."
Grinning as Nana scooted closer, she threw an arm around her. "I could tell. That was interesting." Hearing Nero, she made a face. "Aw, I'm not that boring!"

She gave a grin up to Giger, smiling at the closeness. "You've got a grump."
"Giger-san seems to be a very nice person. Nana-san talks about her fondly. But what would you like to talk about Nero-san? I am not as skilled as I was at the height of my popularity, due to my being from a different country and the lack of practice over the last few years. But I will, nonetheless, do my best to keep you entertained."

Nero snorted, leering angrily at both Nana and Giger before turning back to Shizue. "What part of the Orient to your orginate from?" As a child he hadn't had a chance to finish he education, thus he really didn't know much about countries other than his own, but he knew enough to know that geisha originated in Asia. Thinking for a moment, he shrugged "it doesn't matter to me, talk about what you wish."
"Yeeeeah, he is a bit grumpy" she drawled awkwardly, shrugging. "But it's kind of cute? I think..."

"Yeah, definitely cute. You don't have to grump with me, Nero. I'm only out to help you, just like Giger. And we're both kinda cool people, from what I understand." She crinkled her nose. It was a futile effort, but she wanted to get to be friends with Nero as well. But logically, she won't be friends with everyone. She would do her best to be as nice as possible to him, though.
Shizue shook her head a little at Nana's attempt, sensing that Nero would be friendly to those he chose first, not those who tried. "I am from Japan. That is where all true geisha come from." And with a little furrow of her brow, a thought came to her. "I found that my awakening was an interesting experience. Would you tell me about yours a moment, and then I can tell you mine, if you so desire."

Giger giggled, shaking her head. "It's no use, he's not going to listen to reason..."
Nero simply shrugged "I'm not a grump." He fiddled with his choker for a few moments, thinking about his awakening. "Not much to say about it" he finally mumbled with another shrug. "It was like waking up after sleeping for a long time. Frustrating as Hell not being able to remember anything and having it come back to you so slowly. I must say though, I enjoy the new look..."

"But that's not fair. You need a more social little friend." Nana buried her face against Giger's shoulder, taking a little rest as the two Haltia spoke.
"I do understand your frustration, Nero-san. I am truly lucky that I remember my dance and my skills as a geisha. Otherwise I would not be myself. I don't believe that I ever defined myself as an adult anything other than a geisha for the longest time. And that carries over quite insistently. And your look is very distinctive. I've never seen anything like it." She struggled for a moment, her face twisted prettily in frustration. "There is a word I want to use... I don't know the English. Nana-san, Nero-san wa totemo kawaii desho ne? Kedo, naze eigo wa desuka?"
Nana poked her head up and giggled softly. "Really? Nero, Shizue just said that you look very cute."
Her face darkened a little. "I assume that's not the proper expression, then. I don't wish to say anything that will upset Nero-san."

"Ah, it's not such a big deal" she mumbled, patting Nanas head gently.
Nero tilted his head curiously, smirking lightly upon hearing the translation of Shizues words. "Oh, no worries about upsetting me" he purred "I know I'm very cute." Chuckling softly, he fluffed some of his curls. "You know, out of all of the little insects I've had the misfortune of being forced into contact with since my awakening, I don't think I mind you much at all, in fact, I may even come to like you..."
Giger sighed, poking Nero gently. "He looks cute, can;t say much for his attitude, kinda spoiles his looks, eh?"
