[Sora Nakoma]

It was nice to have some downtime for once. Sora didn’t have any job at the moment besides his hero work, which took up much of his time already. But combining that with him moving back to Japan, finding and moving into a house, and just getting used to Japan again after so long in America, he was glad for the break. No good came from trying to work every second of every day. 

Sora was wearing a simple outfit; a black t-shirt beneath a grey jacket and a baggy pair of faded jeans supported by a belt. He wore a pair of aviator sunglasses over his eyes, a comfortable pair of sneakers on his feet, and his treasured charm necklace around his neck. Truthfully it wasn’t all too different from his actual hero outfit, though it was less fancy looking. He was quite certain most wouldn’t recognize him even if he did wear his hero outfit, at least not yet. But better to be safe than sorry. 

As for what drew Sora to this particular part of Tokyo, it was a delicious scent that caught his nose. Having a powerful sense of smell was both a blessing and a curse at times, but at this point he was thankful for it. Tea. That was definitely what he was smelling after a fortunate breeze carried the scent his way. He wasn’t an avid drinker or aficionado of tea, but it was a pretty common beverage for the young hero. A nice way to soothe his throat after a long patrol or using his Quirk especially often. Eventually he followed the smell all the way to a humble but well-maintained tea shop. He looked up at the door and over at the window. It seemed to be open. Sora slowly opened the door, peaking his head in as he slid the sunglasses up onto his head, pulling his hair back in the process. “Room for one more?” He asked as he stepped inside, looking around for whoever worked there.

Damian wasn’t the busiest of individuals throughout the day, his ample tea shop was someplace that many would visit on the off or on hours. Something that he didn’t mind and the start of the day was where he caught the most business. So when the door opened to gift him with the sight of another customer his smile warmed and split his face into two. He’d give a pleased wave to the customer, ear flicking as they asked if there was room for one more.

”Most certainly sir! You can have a seat at the bar or at the tables if you so wish! My name is Damian, I own and run the Bovine.”

He practically glided from behind the bar, menu tucked under one arm and it wasn’t until he came around from behind the bar that his mutation made itself clear. Other than the horns and ears that were atop his head he seemed to have digigrade legs and a long somewhat thin tail with a little tuft of golden blond hair.

”Can I interest you in our tea for the day? Or if coffee is your preference we have a few different pots brewing.”

His voice was almost sing song and he seemed to be speaking in tune with the gentle music that played in the background of the teashop. Everything about this place was meant to be relaxing. From the drinks to the ambience to even the food. Even damian himself seemed to want to give people a good experience here.

Sora took note of the appearance of the man who welcomed him into the shop, introducing himself as Damian, the owner. He moved with a practiced ease as he stepped out from behind the counter, revealing the full extent of how his Quirk affected his form. Sora smiled as he approached, nodding as he removed his sunglasses and stowed them away in his jacket pocket. He held his hand out to offer a shake, though he'd take no offense if the man declined."Nice to meet you Damian, and what a nice shop it is! You can call me Sora. I was out on a walk could catch the scent of tea from a good distance away, heh."

When prompted with his options for seating, he gave it a moment of consideration before deciding to take a spot at the bar. He was normally one to prefer tables, but seeing as he was the only customer at the moment he opted for the tall stool instead. No need to make the owner walk any more than necessary, right? Damian offered him the choice of coffee or tea, and it didn't take long for Sora to pick; after all, it was what drew him to the Bovine in the first place!

"I think I'll take you up on the tea of the day! I've been looking for a new tea place ever since I got back to Japan!" He told the friendly shopkeeper as he took his seat, looking around at the cozy decor and listening to the relaxing music. "So how long have you been here, Damian?"
