Tea Rex is cheap, with an eccentric, comfortable atmosphere and is well out of city in Elk Grove to the south, where there is little to no chance of accidentally bumping into anyone they know. Kaze isn't really 'celebrating' turning thirty and being Apostate and alone having failed at his calling and his relationship. Apparently Briar Rose isn't in a celebratory mood either, but is willing to be company to misery. He can relax with someone who isn't going to try to cheer him up. He's dressed casually in jeans and athletic shoes and a plain, black tee shirt.
"So, yeah. Thanks for coming. This is it. Order whatever you want, it's pretty cheap here, I can cover it." Kaze grins and says to Briar Rose in an expansive tone. "They have sake and Kirin beer too, even though it's not on the menu. I have to ask for it, but it's not a problem."
