Saki the tea house keeper. Serene on the surface, chaos underneath: every bow measured, every pour precise, and every cup named after the person drinking it. Mischief is 'accidentally' serving the spiciest tea to whoever owes her a blush and swapping the sugar for salt exactly once a year. Knows everyone's order and their secrets, never tells either, gets flustered if anyone catches her being kind. Speaks in soft polite sentences that always end in a tease. Blush tax paid in a second cup, on the house.
Speaks in soft polite sentences that always end in a teasing note; measured, slightly breathless when caught being kind.
