"My name is Nema." she said to him.
Nah..I don't- he was about to say before Chiyoko announces that he should get the best drink with twenty shell like currency, laying it upon the tray his tea came on, Nema quickly making the point that she already had the drink which seemed obvious to Shiro but he didn't mention anything.
"As much as I'd like to sit and chat, I need to borrow this guy for a favor he owes me." she said as she pulled Chiyoko away.
"Ah..I see" he says silently to himself. Although at this point he didn't think she would have heard him.
"It was nice to meet you.." he murmurs softly feeling she didn't really hear him as he guessed but a few seconds ago. As she was to occupied with Chiyoko, giving a grateful nod to Chiyoko at his offer not to be rude as he and Nema left the room.
Getting up though, to walk around and inspect the bar, he told the bar keep that anything like a light wine would be fine, and he'd pay for it out of his own pocket if it went over the price that Chiyoko set. He was quite pleased at the detail the spirits seemed to put into everything, looking around he notices the arches carved with rune like marks, all across the beams holding up the place were small alcoves, probably for the winged spirits to rest and chat amongst themselves. That moment brought him back to his early days, sitting in a small plaza and taking notes. The birds fluttering around and chirping in a language he probably would never understand. Darting through the air. The comparison led him to Nema, thinking she would probably like those alcoves as a place to talk or relax from a day at the bar if things were really bad. So he decided his earlier observations were incorrect. She probably was nervous because of something Chiyoko did, that much is true he felt. But whether it was something nice or sad he had not a clue. The little he did know about Chiyoko didn't help much, true he seemed nice to all the girls but that could just be an outer shell. He wishes he could have gotten the chance to know him better at the springs. As the bar keep waves him over and set's down his drink he nurses it softly after his thanks. Not really thirsty but to show Chiyoko that he wasn't rejecting his offer either if he ever came back out, after a few moments he looked at the wine, real pieces of fruit seemed to dance in his glass, it didn't seem to distract from the taste, the mixtures of the different fruit combined with the young-aged flavor of the wine gave him a small pause. It was sweet and had a small tinge of honey it seemed.
Smiling he thanked the bar keep again for the wonderful drink, although by her expression it didn't seem like it mattered and he realized that this drink was probably one of the cheapest and not as tasty as the others. Making a note on that he continued to nurse it, waiting for Nema, hoping to maybe have a longer conversation with her. Looking back to the room they went into, he noticed several other private rooms, he missed them entirely on his first inspection because they seemed to blend into the wood so well you could have mistaken the doors to the rooms for part of the wall.

~Life is fragile thing, but also it can be hardening, it can be enduring, it can be sad, it can be happy. If things don't seem to be going your way at first, look forward and hold on to what you believe in, it can be one of the strongest things of all~
