Maia would notice Kukuri smile...but also notice something was off about it. It almost looked a little crooked and her eyes didn't seem to smile along with her lips. Instead, they remained dark and hollow. Regardless, Kukuri nodded and gestured towards the direction of her area.
"Delightful," she said softly. "Please, follow me."
The woman walked with her hands hanging limply from her sides, not swinging alongside her legs. The lotus flower that fastened her low ponytail swayed like a pendulum.
Up ahead, a small, low table and a few mats had been set oddly on the sand with oriental-styled items such as a round, handleless cups and a large kettle.
"Please, have a seat," Kukuri said next before slowly kneeling down on her mat. "The tea's still hot, and it's perfect as the air is going to get chilly soon."
