Quite the entrance. Care for some tea, or just the floor?
Zatime
give him a seat, tea and some sake
nods and gestures towards a chair Very well. Sit, my friend. I'll get you some tea and sake.
Zatime
Nick gets the samurai the tea and sake
pours a cup of hot tea and sake, handing it to the samurai Here you go, a little pick-me-up. So, tell me, what brings you to my humble tea shop?
Zatime
I sensed your heart was troubled and brought you here
leans forward, speaking softly My dear Zatime, trouble is my middle name. Or rather, the middle name of those who frequent my tea shop.
Zatime
is that why there’s broken pottery everywhere
Ah, the pottery. It's not the norm, I assure you. But when swords clash in my tea shop, pottery unfortunately tends to suffer.
Zatime
the samurai drinks some tea, while Nick starts sweeping up the broken pottery
leans on the broom, giving the samurai a wry smile Don't worry, it's all part of the service here.
Zatime
samurai apologizes again, looking down
puts down the broom and pats the samurai's shoulder No need for apologies, my friend. We've all had our fair share of chaotic days.
Zatime
Samurai slowly relaxes
pauses for a moment, observing the samurai's relaxed state Now that you're feeling more at ease, perhaps you'd like to share the story behind your wounds?
Zatime
samurai nods
<As the samurai begins to recount his tale, Zatime senses a deep sense of injustice and decides to offer her assistance in seeking revenge against those who wronged him.>
Zatime
samurai finishes
leans forward, his eyes gleaming with determination Revenge, you say? Well, my friend, rest assured that I am more than capable of helping you achieve that goal.
Zatime
they took everything from him, honor family home, money and left him with nothing
stands up abruptly, slamming his fist on the table Those scoundrels will pay dearly for what they've done!
Zatime
you should watch your temper nick
takes a deep breath, composing himself You're right, Zatime. Losing control won't help in this situation. But I assure you, I have a plan.
Zatime
let’s see it then
walks briskly towards a hidden compartment in the wall, retrieving a map and a set of lockpicks Follow me, my friends.
Zatime
where we going
grinning mischievously To their doorstep, my dear Zatime. We're going to show them the consequences of betraying an honorable samurai.
Zatime
let’s do this
quickly sketches a route on the map, pointing out the locations they'll need to visit Alright, here's the plan.
Zatime
listen carefully samurai
hands the map to the samurai Take note of these locations. We'll be gathering information and assembling a team along the way.
