>Meiling stands there idly, apparently expecting you to introduce her. "Oh! I'm Hong Meiling."
>"Flandre Scarlet," says the young mistress with a small bow.
>The oni frowns a bit more. "...Alright. Head on in. Keep it classy."

>You head inside! As you do, you are approached by a waitress what would be a modest yukata, if not for the daring cuts that have been made on it. She eyes your group over, and you note the ghost of a frown. "Where would you like to be seated?" she says without missing a beat in a friendly voice.

>"Look, I'll send a message, okay," she says. "But if you're bothering her for no good reason, she's probably going to have you thrown out, just so you know."
>With that, before you can reply, she slinks off toward the central part of the establishment.
>"Not used to being on this end of the job," Meiling says.

>"She'll see you in her office," the devil says, looking a bit flustered. "This way."

>She leads you up the stairs, and off to the opposite side that you when to last time. She opens a door, and leads you into an office with low lights, plush carpets, and dark wood everywhere. Petite sits at a huge desk you are certain used to be in the Eastern Drawing Room in a bygone age. "Oh, hey everyone," she says. "Make yourselves comfortable. Cognac?"

>The seats are plush things, they seem about equally comfortable, so you take the one to Flandre's right hand side.
>"We really shouldn't be having anything like that right now," Flandre says. "We need to keep our senses sharp."
>"Wait, senses sharp?" says the former familiar.
