>Did we fail to recognize Utsuho? Huh.
>Cross arms and wait.

> To be fair, you couldn't see her eye of Yatagarasu.
> You wait, and five minutes later, Utsuho comes back pulling a bewildered red-headed kasha with her. Kaenbyou Rin--or rather, Orin--lets go of Utsuho's hand and starts to make her way towards the counter. Like the other employees, she is wearing slacks, a button-down shirt with a nametag, and a cravat. However, unlike the others, she is wearing the same black hat as the girl at the counter. Utsuho backs away from the three of you.
> "What's up, Buranko?" Orin asks as she trots over.
> "Yer friend's lookin' to talk to you," Buranko says.
> Orin takes one look at you and flicks her ears up and down.
> "Who're you, sis?" she asks you.
> "Haaahhhh?!"
> Buranko's outburst is enough to make more than a few patrons stare in your general direction.

>"You know who I am, Rin. And so do you, Utsuho. Now, is there someone where private we can talk?"

> "No I don't!" Utsuho protests.
> "Neither do I, sis," Orin says. She takes a barely-noticeable step backwards. "I don't know how you know our names, but leave Okuu out of this."

> "I don't know what you're talkin' about," Orin says. Buranko leans over to mutter something in her ear, to which Orin shakes her head.
> "Listen, why don't we just step outside a moment, sis? We don't want any trouble here."

> "Okay, everyone step aside," Orin says. The crowd parts, allowing you and Orin a path towards the door. She gestures for you to follow her as she makes her way out.

> As you follow Orin out the door, you look back to Utsuho to see what she's wearing. She's wearing the employee uniform, sans the little hat. Utsuho sees you looking at her and flutters her wings nervously.
> Outside the restaurant, Orin takes a seat on a nearby bench. "So sis, what was all that ruckus back there?"

> "I'm just workin' in the family business," Orin says, arching an eyebrow. "I go home at night and on weekends. Just 'cause I'm an underground youkai doesn't mean I stay in a hole all the time. Geez."
> Her tails go swish swish swish. "Not that there's anything bad with never leavin' the underground. Agh! I'm getting off topic. Look, I could hear ya shouting from the second floor back there, you really need to calm down."
