"Oh, you'll be fine." She managed a laugh, easing a bit. "I know a girl in the first place I used to bounce for. She's a Kaeru Nyobu, frog wife. She worried a lot about being good enough, but they'll make sure you know what you need and she's doing fine. And besides, it's not that intimidating."

Well, as long as they weren't getting into the 'other' stuff it wasn't that bad. She settled and brought out a tea set, resting it between them. "Uh, right. So, have you ever performed a tea ceremony before? I know it's gone out of fashion with the mortals but some folks still know it. It's kind of a perfect start for this sorta thing." She was getting herself right into something she at least knew, and old traditional zen tea ceremonies were perfect to stop thinking like she was actualy supposed to be a senior here. Took the nerves off.
