[Vivian/Peony/Open - just before the fireworks display]
"It is true, I cannot stay much longer," Peony said. "Still, I am glad to have run into you, and I could not walk by without stopping. I hope you enjoy the show - and the tea." With another smile, she bid her farewell and headed back, detouring to the vendor to purchase another cup. She would think of it as a fortuitous meeting and a good use of tea, but Riyeko still needed something for her nerves.
Two cups once more in hand, she headed towards the place where the others waited. It was nearly time to begin the display.
