She took the battered cup as it was passed around and drank some of the sake. At which point she spent several minutes coughing.
"I've called for rescue, but it'll take awhile to reach us," said Kiyone as she retrieved the cup and sipped newly warmed sake. "Some sort of crisis with the Tibetan underground. I'll have to go investigate."
