Stephen Henderson raised his glass and gave a warm “Kanpai” to Ema who smiled and returned the compliment. They’d been doing this now for over an hour as Ema was trying to teach him the correct pronunciation and etiquette for drinking with Japanese businessmen. He was pretending he was hopeless at learning Japanese customs to justify hiring Ema, on his expense account, for another 24 hours. “It’s so complicated and formal here, I guess I do need to learn all this stuff though and I’m very glad that you are my teacher even though I am such a poor student. Kanpai!” Ema laughed, and blushed “You are bad, a bad actor, but this is fun.” There was silence between them for a moment, they both smiled shyly at each other, and Stephen caught the look he’d been hoping for, a flash of interest. “Mr. Henderson.” she began formally, “What we have here is a classic cliché. An older Englishman and a very young an inexperienced Japanese girl who is simply trying to make her client happy and not get taken advantage of.” Stephen feigned shame and then laughed. “Yes, you are right. I am being totally inappropriate, and a jerk and you must get this treatment all the time. I’m sorry, Lets call it a night and I’ll see you tomorrow after breakfast.” He rose to leave but she caught his sleeve, “hey, I didn’t say you should leave. I like this cliché. I’m having fun.” She raised her empty glass and Stephen filled it. “Kampai” they both said in unison. “Mr. Henderson, I am feeling a little drunk, which is entirely your fault, and feel need of your protection. I think the very least you could do is offer me the safety of your bed tonight.”
