"I would really, like that. We should make a plan." she said and laughed.
She looked up at the sky, then back down. She took a deep breath, and pushed her hair from her face.

Keiji heard the calls to him. He turned, surprised to find a group of familliar faces looking at him. he shook his head and said, "Yes, I'm okay now." He stood and walked over to the group. "Hello, Shagatsu-san, Ariku-sama," he said. When he got to the other person in the group, he bowed. "I don't believe we've met," Keiji said. "My name is Keiji," he smiled.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Keiji-san." She dipped into a graceful bow, "My name is Iyasu. Would you like some tea?" The geisha offered him a seat with a gentle smile.

"Of course, Keiji-san!" Iyasu reached for the tea pot and an extra cup. She poured the new comer some tea, "What brings you to the shrine today?"

"Thank you," Keiji said as Iyasu poured him a cup of tea. "Meditation and relaxation," he said in reply to her question. He sipped on his tea in thought, then spoke. "It seems like a very peaceful place." Keiji turned to Shagatsu and nodded. "And you're the owner," he stated with a smile. "You've done a wonderful job here," he added, looking around.

"You're welcome." Iyasu bowed to him, "Shagatsu-san's shrine is, indeed, a very peaceful place. He put so much effort into it. He carved all the details you see." She added.

Shagatsu hummed a "Yes" as he looked blankly at a piece of wood on the ground, slowly spacing away.

Keiji smiled at Shagatsu and knew something was wrong; however, he'd talk to him about it when no one was around. "Carved them himself, you say?" he directed to Iyasu. "That's amazing talent you have, sir," Keiji said to Shagatsu.

Shagatsu blinked back to reality. "Why thank you, I've been doing it since I was a child. Anything I can craft for you? I can make daggers, swords, dolls, scabbards, clothes, arrows, anything you need, I can create for you." He said with a smile.

Keiji smiled at Shagatsu's offer. "I'd like that," he replied. "Hum, I do need a scabbard for my katana," he smiled, tracing his jawline with his fingers. "I will be willing to pay for your labor," he added. "How much?" he asked Shagatsu.

"All I need is a design. The labor is enjoyable to me, you do not have to pay. You can come and help if you'd like. You don't have to of course, but the offer is still open." He said with a smile.

"I wouldn't feel right with you doing this for free," Keiji said, shaking his head. "As for design? Anything will do," he said with a smile. Keiji placed his katana on the table so Shagatsu could get the shape and measurement.
