After finally arriving to west city, grenn s reaction was....strange, he had never readed so many bloodcodes before, and most were new, he would sigh and slowly start to make his way through the streets, looking at all the nice things in the stores....after bringing the box to a locksmith with Juniper and finding some nice zenies, and also after telling Juniper a little about the Bora Viruses experiment, would have thanked her and kindly told her it was time for him to leave, shaking her hand again and bidding goodbye hoping to eventually meet again......as Grenn was roaming West City's Streets, he started Remembering, or trying to at least, the old feelings he used to have before his capture.... As he kept on going he would finally reach the main square where he sat on a bench just looking around to see if any place he saw could be his old house....not remembering was a huge problem considering he could barely remember what happened in his childhood, seeing he couldn't remember he would just sigh and look around a bit sour from it just hoping for interactions.

Clove Tea approached Grenn, wearing a full black and white waitress outfit, with a Daruma doll mon emblem on the hem of her tan waist apron, with a smile she sipped from a cup she was holding before speaking up. “You must be, Grenn-san? My name is Clove Tea, I am Juniper’s older sister, and she wanted me to pass along her regrets for not meeting you at this time. A Professor Nimoy has requested her assistance over at Capsule Corp HQ on urgent business.” The tea princess’ ankle length hair fluttered about as she clutched a portfolio of paperwork in her arm, “I am in the process of checking the inventory of a tea house across the street, care to try out our clan’s most notable substance known around the world? Tea of course.”West City was far enough away from home and close enough to Juniper that Clove had remained longer than expected. While the tea house style cafe kept her occupied, she wanted to take a break from her responsibilities, and explore more of the city; more specifically the delectable cuisine. [184] Grenn/kitara

As Clover Approached him and said this, he would get up nodding smiling a little "Nice to meet you, yeah my name is Grenn,its nice to meet Juniper's older sister, she told me about you a little but not much heh....also its fine if she isnt here, she has things to do after all, cant ask for someone to be around everywhere at once now can i ??" He'd sigh a little as he heard tea not being the greatest fan but nodded nonchalantly after cracking his neck a few times
"allright then....guess it won't be bad to try out some of that nice tea, at least i wont really be alone" he would chuckle a little and look around a few more times not recognizing the city still, making him look down thinking a little before just starting to walk after offerign a hand shake "you said its on the other side of the road right? do you also need a hand with the inventory? afyer all i cant just roam around with my hands tied doing nothing" after the question he would look at her normally curious to hear her answer and reading silently the bloodcode she had, it being very similar to Juniper's actually but with slightly different tinges, as he saw this he would chukle a little thinking it was rather fitting.

Clove starred at Grenn’s hand as he offered it in greeting, both of her hands were holding items, and she struggled to hold the cup with her left hand, while pinning the paperwork under her elbow, and extended her black gloved hand for him to shake briefly.
“Not a fan of tea? We have a thousand varieties, there must be something to your tastes. I understand having a specific flavor palette, as I strive to taste all the flavors of the world someday, walk with me, and I will have you try it.”
The tea princess looked both ways before crossing the street, a teenage staff worker opened the door for the both of them welcoming them to Daruma Tea & Coffee, and the rest of staff inside bowed in greeting doing much of the same.
“My loyal staff have already done our tea and coffee inventory, I am simply filling out orders for more supplies from my homeland. The western lands, though I am not sure how familiar you are with the pig demon duchies, and given that my sister befriends almost everyone perhaps she already mentioned this to you.” She sat down in an empty booth, most of the tables were taken by customers and despite the high volume in occupancy it was rather silent with the exception of an occasional blender sound followed by the cafe style music playing in the background.
A menu was brought over by a young teenage girl, dressed in the same outfit as Clove, it had 1,000 teas, and ten items for coffee. The otherside of the menu had an assortment of glutinous rice tea cakes known as mochi.
“Order what you like, I can take it off your time card pay, if you do wish to work today.” She chuckled, as she set down her cup, and the waitress quickly took it away. The stacks of paperwork, were all order forms, each one was stamped with the tea clan mon emblem, and addressed to various villages in the Western lands.
“So how did you meet my sister? Are you one of her patients?”

"i wont be ordering, nothing can make my thirst go away aside for a certaint red liquid" he d sigh looking at Clove "yeah your sister already told me plenty about it, i had pretty much enough time to explain to her what i am exactly....tho its not really easy to say it out loud..."
soon adter he would sigh again "Me and Juniper met randomly in a city which seemed to have been raided, some weaklings led by a Woman captured the cityzens and were trying to get a forced Payment off of them, we simply put a stop to it and we became friends....have not had one in a long time" he would chuckle a little sourly as he sighed "you know i think ill take some coffee..."
he would look through the various ones and yawn a little after "ill take LaVazza....seems pretty strong" he would then put the menù down with his eyes glowing a bright red as he was reading Everyone's Bloodcodes in the room, seeing the waitress seemed to actually have arelatively special one, but probably couldnt use it "hmmm.....intriguing...." he would then look at her normally as if nothing had actually happened trying to not really tell her about it to not make her react in the wrong way

“Ah. You must have truly motivated her to go through with saving those people, she is usually the cautious type, she does not take action without the right support. So thank you for keeping her safe, the coffee is a small token of my appreciation, as I have been a bit careless in not watching over her to the best of our father’s wishes...”
Clove tilted her head, she did not understand about being unable to sate his thirst, and it was because Juniper did not divulge this information as she kept such information to herself like any good medical professional. Crimson eyes were of no significance as most demons possessed them, even her sister had red eyes, but she felt the need to change the color to a blue hue. The waitress took Grenn’s order and had it fulfilled by the barista immediately, she carefully returned with the LaVassa, and did a curtsey to dismiss herself in front of her employer.
“I understand that tea and coffee are distinct. Everyone in the western lands has a preference towards tea and the rest of the world leans towards coffee. Capsule Corp employees are partial to coffee and cigarettes for some reason or another. I have not figured out if it’s a cultural significance but I will always be into tea everyday.” Clove smiled, “Coffee is good when I desire an immediate caffeine boost but tea will always be the better balance for its natural detox power.”
After a beat, she completed filling out all the order forms, and she motioned over to the waitress to fax them over to their respective western land villages.
“So, what do you do for a living?”

"heh..funny, i dont do anything forna living, have not been my entire life, not like o could really choose..." he would sigh a little
He was clearly trying ti refrain from saying who or what he was He would then smile back at her, a bit sourly "i would rather not explain myself but if your thirst for curiosity is as mine for the red, i guess ill do an exception like i dod with juniper...."
He d start looking around again seemingly looking again at that same waitress as if he was seeing something she wasnt, and he was just occasionallly starring at her, reading deeper in the blood code
" you know you and your sister have almost the exact same blood, i think its a bit funny, tho fitting, its also pretty rare to find bloods so similar" he sighed hoping this would set her on the right path for her to understand

“Are you looking for an occupation? What are your interests, Grenn-san?” Clove intertwined her long slender fingers and leaned forward on the counter top. If he knew better, the situation was no different from one, and she was rather good at reading people from her own personal experience.
The words Grenn had expressed were weaved together, she was quite familiar with what he had been avoiding to relay about himself, and she was not the type to pressure anyone into trusting her so easily. As far she could tell, whatever condition he was suffering from was from a past he did not dare to discuss so openly, and he did not have to.
“Most siblings are related by blood, despite having different demon mothers, our father is also a half demon himself. Red eyes are common among demons, which is how people discern us from most earthlings, and we’re not widely accepted for what we are in society. You will get used to the looks people give you for being so different, especially here in West City. It seems you’re having difficulty discussing the past, so let's just enjoy the present, and discuss the future instead.”

"well some Zenies cant hurt but...im actually just looking for...somewhere" he d sigh and look at her "travelling around the cities right now...if you need a hand tho im glad to give it....besides as i said some zeni can come in handy" he would smile keeping on to just look around and felt pretty calm , he seemed to really like the place, it felt comfortable. after a while he would turn to her after nodding at her words and smile a little "to be honest i never know if to take people's ideas about be into consideration or if to just ignore what they think, usually its the second one tho" he would put his albows on the counter and just crack his neck again "so....my interests huh.....i have a pretty soft spot for Music i guess....." he would sigh sinc eit had been a while since he talked about his interests with anyone, last one being Juniper and just slightly.
"not sure if there is much else....cant recall anything else right now at least" he would look at the ceiling silently to think of anything else "....oh yeah...and fighting...kind of.....and how about you Clove?" he d roll his eyes back towards her intrerested in the response

“Well, working at a cafe is not what I had in mind, as a Tea Princess I require vassals. Only ones who are capable of fighting are most suited for the positions, it will pay well, and include housing. I am not sure if that is something that interests you? I do need help keeping an eye on my younger sister and she is not the type to take on vassals herself.”
Grenn kept sighing their entire conversation, so she was uncertain if it was because he was tired, or it was encumbrance to speak. “Are you tired? Do you need to rest? I do not wish to take up your time if that is the case.”
“As far as music goes...I do not possess the talent to produce music but I do enjoy it like everyone else. One of the most notable villages in the western lands is Orchestra village, it is carved into the cliff side, and produces world famous instruments made of the highest caliber. In addition, the most talented musicians are from this village, and often move on to perform at casinos.”
Clove mused a bit longer, her red eyes blinked a few times since he asked her a personal question, and she smiled. “I am a blade master but apart from that I am traveling the world to taste all the cuisine it has to offer, before being locked up in my grand father’s castle for the rest of my life, to serve the Tea Clan family.”

"oh well sorry about that but im not interested,helping to keep Juniper safe wouldnt be too bad, but then again i have to travel so heh..." he would smile a bit as he heard her concern about him being asleep "oh no dont worry im not tired.....im just thinking a abit...." he would sigh once again, thinking on what else to say as he torned the head to her "good to know that there are some cities which make some quality instruments....i think i want to eventually learn how to play guitar or any instrument really" he would smile a little at her as they kept on talking.
as she said about having to eventually go back to her grand father's house to serve he would look at her and the smile turned into a bit of a different expression, not cold or stern, just not liking the subject "hmm...to me it sounds like you need to ignore that and do what you want to, unless that is what you wish..." he would start to loo slightly more annoyed by this one certaint topic as he just looked at the various tea types on a nearby menù trying to change the subject "so how did you get so many flavors and types of tea anyway...?"

“Suit yourself. Traveling without a reason to sounds rather dull to me.” Clove’s smile faded, she held a complacent serious expression, and listened to him keep sighing while he spoke. “Guitar is an interesting instrument, acoustic, or electric?”
The tea princess ignored his suggestion at defying her family, she was avoiding her responsibilities in the clan her entire life, and it would be disrespectful not to help her family especially since her brother, the former clan heir, was murdered. It was presumptuous of him to make such a bold statement and she avoided his gaze by raising her hands to clasp the side of her temples for a moment before regaining her composure again. Strength was something she possessed and she was not going to reveal any sign of weakness to someone she just met.
“Years. My clan name is Tea after all. We are all named after the types of tea that exist and plan to continue that tradition in honor of our family name. The western lands are known for their rich farmlands and we pride ourselves in being economically stable by working together with the Pig Demon Duchies.”

"hmm....yeah i guess....im not wondering without anywhere to go i just dont know where im supposed to go..." he would think a second after her question "probably electric, not sure about it tho...." after he saw her put up the hand he would realise his mistake and slightly bow his head in apoligy after listening to her"sorry for my bold statement its just a pretty open nerve for me.....should have kept my composure...." he would look away a little and just think on what to say next.
after a little of awkward silence on his part he would start to speak again "well its good to have a family and to have something to be proud of....im sure it must mean quite a bit..." he d look at the ceiling ".....wish i could say the same...." he would keep to look at the ceiling not looking at her waiting for a sign of her forgiving his mistake before looking at her again in a sign of respect towards her
he was about to ask a question before she could see him stopping himself thinking it might not have sounded weird as he just went to wait for her to hopefully forgive his remark

“Where you’re supposed to go...well that could be anywhere. If I am holding you back from figuring that out then by all means explore the world. You’re not going to find the answer sitting here talking to me. I recommend purchasing a guitar so you can learn it while traveling. ”Clove’s expression did not change even after Grenn apologized, she promised not to discuss the past because it made him uncomfortable, and she expected much of the same from him not prying on her past. “So are you done with exploring West City?” The tea princess leaned back into the green cushioned booth seat, she stared out the window briefly before looking back at Grenn, and she instinctively crossed her arms as the atmosphere had become awkward between them. Perhaps the situation would be different if her sister was present, she could only imagine that it would not be a conversation she would partake in personally, as she was suspecting that it was a mystic's ability to read chakras that allowed Juniper to understand Grenn at a level a blade master would not be able to.

"oh no you are not holding me back on it....it ll take a long while to figure it out because well.....ugh screw it ill just say it.....i have no idea where i used to live a long tme ago and im searching for it....." he d look to the side, still seeming to be holding a huge part of his story and she could probably tell already it wasnt gonna be a happy one "sorry for not just saying it right from the start....." he would wait a second before looking at her again "if there is anyway i can help please do say it, if not well....i think ill take my leave before causing you any more troubles...." he would bow his head after this and get up
"i promise if i can ill try and help Juniper out..." he would get up offering a last hand shake before probably leaving unles she needed a hand with anything
