+ 1 god of wind
[[ooc: Enjoy the new location! The monks are NPC's and characters can visit the tea house and enjoy the gardens whenever they wish, even when Fujin isn't in residence. :) Fujin's Navigation post with his info is here!]]
The nexus had been under the curious gaze of the wind god of Earthrealm for a while now, but it was only in recent days that he decided to show himself. In the mysterious way that the Nexus had, the green space known as the park inexplicably had been expanded in a short amount of time; as a small verdant forest extended and the walking paths entered in meandering fashion.
One of these paths led to a walled tori gate, where one could enter and find the Henka no Kaze tea house; a place sanctioned by the wind god himself. Surrounded by maintained Japanese gardens, someone could lose themselves to the beauty of nature in this place; listening to the whisper of leaves and the tinkling of wind chimes and the trickle of water fountains. It was easy to forget that within walking distance, the rest of Nexus Crossings sprawled. The autumn colors were starting to show themselves, which only added to the quiet beauty of the space. Curious people that came through here would be greeted by kind robed monks and invited to enjoy some tea at the tea house.
Fujin himself was on the grounds today, not hard to spot with his height and long silver white hair in a braid and bright glowing eyes. For anyone visiting and sensitive to energies - Fujin was the physical manifestation of potent elemental energy native to the natural world. Unlike the monks who wore robes of muted colors, Fujin wore an elaborate layered sleeveless tunic and trousers with a wide belt that appeared to be east Asian in origin and decorated with tooled leather in cloud-like shapes. A glowing mark on his upper left arm lined his skin. Even during periods where he wasn’t immediately seen - patrons at the tea house would be rewarded by the relaxing sounds of the shakuhachi flute; marking Fujin’s place out in the gardens.
Currently, the wind god moved along the tables on near silent feet, bending now and again to speak to people or even kneeling among them with a tray to serve their tea. His manner was soft spoken, relaxed and kind; quick to smile as he spoke to guests and his presence brought with it the fresh scent of mountain breezes and pine. No task was too humble for him. He had even been spotted earlier sweeping the path of flat stones leading up to the tea house.
At one point, as he knelt at a table to pour some tea into some cups, he smiled a little; expression almost wistful in his striking glowing gaze.
“Everyone must rest at some point. Even warriors. What relaxes you and gives you peace?”

He shook his head. "It's not a temple, but a tea house of Japanese design. However it is my goal to create a place that fosters peace for others. Especially since many of our worlds are rife with wars and conflicts." He gestured at the menu on the table. "We have many blends from Earthrealm here. From Japan, China and other countries. We also do customized tea blends too. I suppose you could say that it's a hobby of mine. Pick anything you like and I will personally prepare it for you."

"What are some of the blends you have?" He looks over the menu, then turns back to Fujin. "If you have any suggestions, I'm open to them. Where I come from, most of these don't exist, so I can't help but be a little confused."

He rested his hands on his knees as he settled back on his heels in seiza position. "There's probably a flavor for every taste. Some like their tea bitter and strong, while others like it more sweet and gentle. Some are blended with fruit while others are more floral. There are even some with a little bit of spice mixed in for a stronger zing in the flavor. Mint tea is popular for it's brisk invigorating taste. Others like chamomile to help them sleep. Honey and lemon is another simple blend to help soothe a sore throat and so on." He grinned a little. "Don't feel bad for being overwhelmed. It's a lot for anyone to take in. Even regular tea drinkers. If there are particular flavors you like, I'm positive I can match something in a blend for it."
