Emily is already seated in the room when he arrives. she's dressed a little nicer than she does at the clinic, though she figured there was no need to get intensely formal about this. rather, there's instead a teapot and two cups on the low table, and a small plate with mitarashi dango on it. in the middle of the room, an old fashioned incense brazier, having just been lit. it will take a moment for the scents to heat and actually start.]
Right on time. Thank you for indulging me as to the location - it's out of the way enough that I assumed we could talk freely.
[if he sits down, she'll pour the tea for both of them, him first. she'd practiced this in her mind - there needs to be an undercurrent of respect to all of this, no matter what.]
