Issac walked the streets of Kusagakure on his way to his next mission. Once again he would be helping out in a restaurant, this was beginning to become rather routine. That was something Issac really had no desire for the past few days he’s been cooped up in the village having to tend to all these people. He didn’t mind as much as he thought he would in the beginning but none the less he was going to finish this mission then he would push on to a more challenging mission perhaps something that would take him out of the village. His home wasn’t to far from one of the countries boarders’ maybe he would take a trip there and go on guard duty.

For now though, Issac was due for his shift at the restaurant, it took him a little longer finding this one then it did finding Mr. Fuujis shack even though his was smaller. He was going to be filling in for a waitress that had fallen ill. Seems like there was a trend here. When Issac arrived at the tea shop there was a small crowed it wasn’t to bad and the place was pretty spacious. Issac met with the owner of the shop and informed him that he was the shinobi sent to help him out for the day. The man looked relived and told Issac to follow him so he could give him a quick tour and show him where everything was located.

Issac was waiting behind the counter for a couple minutes after arriving at the teashop all of the tables that were seated were already being tended to and no one new had arrived yet. Issac wasn’t going to complain in any way, he had no problem getting paid for standing around watching the villagers of Kusa sip their tea and talk amongst themselves. The other two waitresses were a little older then Issac, they were probably family or had just worked here for a long time. They seemed to keep a distance from Issac only talking to him when they needed him to grab something or set new tea to make since he wasn’t tending to any customers.

It was about a half hour in when Issac had got his first customer. The man was very simple and only wanted a cup of green tea. As Issac walked away the man pulled out a book and papers and began looking them over, Issac figured he was some kind of business man. When Issac returned and placed the cup on the table the man didn’t even look up from what he was doing he just gave him a small thanks and picked up his cup taking a small sip then back to his work. Issac figured this would be an easy one and he would just come back in a few minutes to give him a refill if he needed it.

It was going into the late afternoon and people were slowly starting to file into the teashop. Issac was a little happier just standing around but he put on his happy face and set to his job for the day. Going to his next table there was an older couple that had just sat down and Issac was waiting on them to get settled before asking their selection of tea. The old man seemed to know exactly what he wanted but the lady took her time in deciding, Issac was the same way sometimes so it didn’t bother him in the slightest. Choosing the wrong tea could easily ruin ones day. In the end the man choose to have black tea while the women choose oolong.

There were several people who came in after them who were simply looking for a place to sit and not ordering any tea. Issac checked with the owner to make sure they weren’t just loitering but they were regulars that usually would order just before they were ready to go. Issac found this as a little odd but everyone had their quirks who was he to judge?

The next group of people he got was a rather large one. Three cups of green tea two cups of mandarin and a cup of white tea with honey. Issac had no problem filling the order and thought that would be the highlight of his day. The tray he had to bring the tea on was a large oval, not being used to the weight distribution he had to use his vines stretching them to the edges of the tray underneath to keep it steady and so no one would notice he didn’t have much practice doing this.

As the day carried on Issac was pretty much on point about that one big table being the most exciting of the night. After them he served a few tables that didn’t take enough energy or even concentration to embed them into his memory he just remembered that he had served them. At some point there was a very large man who walked into the shop. He was not large in just any one dimension but towered over Issac by at least a full head and twice his girth. When the man took his seat the other waitresses seemed a little perturbed by him so Issac took it upon himself to walk over and take the mans order.

When he ordered two pots of their strongest oolong Issac asked to be given a few minutes to put the pots together and he would be back with him shortly. He knew at some point he had finished off one of the pots of oolong and he wanted to brew them fresh and make sure they were strong for the man. There seemed to be a few heads turning in his direction from the moment he walked into the stop but when Issac set down two steaming pots of tea in front of the man while there were people that didn’t even have tea seemed to get him a little extra attention. Not that the man seemed to care but it was something Issac noticed.

It was about an hour later and the shop was getting ready to close soon. Issac would be let off a little early it turns out that the employees were all family and they stayed to clean and lock up afterwards. Issac of course offered to help but they turned him down. He hadn’t exactly made any kind of friendship with them but that wasn’t exactly why he was here so he wasn’t to sore about it. Just as he was getting ready to leave two of the men from before finally asked for a black and green tea. Issac had used the lasts of both the teas with that order, after asking if he should put more on before he left they told him the day was pretty much over they wouldn’t be having anymore customers for the day. They wished him the best as he left the shop making sure the door was locked behind him. Another day of work done and over with Issac would head to retrieve his pay for this mission.
