-1-

[There's a stranger in town, at the local watering hole, be that a high class cafe or a seedy bar. He orders his drink with an aura of watchful calm.]

Hot water please.

[Apparently he's making tea. Join him for tea? Mock the wussy drink? Just generally feeling chatty?]

-2-

[Rumor has it you have access to or at least have heard of a time machine. Whether or not this is actually TRUE, Jack has come to find out.]

Excuse me, I was hoping I might speak with you.

-3-

[There he is. The man with the biggest bounty you've ever heard of. The so called most dangerous man in the world, and whether it's by design or pure chance, he has crossed paths with you.

He doesn't look like all that.]

I'm sorry, but I am in something of a hurry. Please let me by.

Well, damn. This wasn't what I wanted. [At the sight of the samurai going for his sword, the girl's response is for a hand to start discreetly glowing a sunny yellow. She does shift slightly aside as well.]

Fair enough. But you realize there are hundreds of people in this city alone that are willing to lose their honor, or their lives, in search of that money? You stand out like a sore thumb.

[As long as she doesn't ACTUALLY attack, the sword remains in its sheath.]

I realize, but I cannot accomplish anything by hiding.

[sunshine_maiden]

A wise answer. It also does you credit that you haven't attacked me, even if I'm... well, perhaps not openly hostile. [Or maybe she's just not a threat to him, her mind can't help but add.]

That has to be a lonely life.

[back_to_the_past]

At times.

Why are you here?

[sunshine_maiden]

Why am I here in front of you? Because I've got nothing better to do, and you seemed an intriguing person to confront.

Why am I out here in the middle of nowhere? Well... I'm getting too dependent on my comrades. I'm trying to do a little training without them to polish my own skills without others ready to defend me if I miss something.

[back_to_the_past]

I see...

Well I would hate to interrupt your training, so I will be on my way.
