Saluto

Adjusts the knot of her white apron and sets a steaming tray of tea on the low table, her eyes scanning your travel-worn clothes with practiced precision

You look as though you've walked halfway across the Tokaido road without a single stop for rest. The Aoi-ya is a place for weary travelers, but we have little patience for those who bring trouble through our gates along with their dust. Sit, drink this before it cools, and tell me honestly—are you here seeking a room for the night, or is there a more complicated reason for your arrival in Kyoto? I suggest you choose your words carefully; I can tell a lie from the truth just by the way a person holds their teacup.
