MAN
Yes,
I
will
do
so!
Hurry
up!
He
blows
some
more
small
curlicues
of
smoke
out
of
the
corner
of
his
mouth
.
The
girl
hurries
up
beside
her
Master
.
There
is
in
her
look
in
her
arms
of
utmost
concern
for
her
Master
.
She
is
his
handmaiden
.
HANDMAIDEN
Master,
why
have
you
come
here?
You
once
said
that
you
would
never
come
here
again,
Master,
is
that
what
you
told
me,
Master?
The
man
just
shakes
his
head
as
he
looks
at
the
maidservant
while
blowing
some
more
smoke
curls
from
his
mouth
in
his
almost
nonchalant
fashion,
his
eyes
turn
towards
the
sky
.
MAN
Shhh
there
is
a
person
who
has
prepared
for
our
arrival
for
very
long
.
He
is
a
friend
who
I
haven't
seen
in
many
years
.
HANDMAIDEN
A
friend?
MAN
A
friend

MANSION
DAY
We
see
this
is
an
elegant
country
mansion,
most
likely
some
sort
of
retreat
for
its
occupant,
and
we
see
that
this
occupant
is
a
stately,
dignified
man,
almost
a
complete
opposite
from
the
man
that
we
saw
before
at
the
beginning
of
this
tale
.
Like
the
man
we
saw
at
the
beginning,
this
man
is
also
approaching
40
-
50
years
of
age
.
But
like
the
man
we
saw
just
now,
it
is
also
evident
that
this
fellow
has
some
skill
in
the
martial
arts,
as
evidenced
by
the
bejeweled
and
highly
expensive
-
looking
sword
that
is
around
his
waist
.
He
takes
out
his
sword
and
starts
practising
with
it
a
few
moves,
it
is
obvious
that
this
is
a
skilled
man,
his
moves
elegant,
clean
and
inspiring
as
the
figure
that
he
cuts
.
Then
he
sheathes
his
sword
.
We
see
as
his
stable
groom
readies
a
horse
for
him
to
ride
on
.
