A blank canvas

"I am Kushi", the woman replied. "I hope you don't mind the smell and the disorder. I'm brewing up some sake to pass time as I wait for someone, and those boxes are provisions." She opened the door to the hut which held a single room and needed its furniture moved about to use most places - the table and chair in the center, most of all. Kushi only needed to move it a little to access a crate and produce several rice cakes as well as bread and fruits, which she placed into a bowl on the table. Most were orange-sized berries of sorts, not needing to be peeled to eat, and coming in various colors and shapes. Kushi only laid out half a dozen, but of those none looked like the others, and Yuki may be able to sneak a peek into the box to see that the others were all different too.

"Please, help yourself. I am in no hurry, and if you aren't either we can take as much time as we like." She briefly left the hut to grab a stool which she normally used in the brewery when working around the kegs, but as there was only one chair and she wanted Yuki to have that one she needed an alternative.

"I'm Yuki", the other one spoke as she helped herself.

"A beautiful name. But please, fill your belly first, take your time. There will be plenty to do explanations."
