Jonathan stood and sympathetically listened to Ascot the little boy. No, he was a man forced to become one by circumstances that probably should have never occurred. He felt bad for the boy-man that never got to be a child. He never got to have fun with friends his own age, at least not in the way most children play. He became lost in thought after Ascot left. Ascot needed friends to help him through these times. They seemed like some of the worse times for the child. Ascot’s words rang in his head as he walked around making sure the trees were growing. It seemed that some of his students were captured. Captured by the Yakuza. He made his way over to Ascot and looked at Hibiscus with a smile. He enjoyed the fact that she had such a strong bond with her pet. Oddly enough he didn’t judge people based on the type of magic they used. 

“If it is ok with you Ascot I would like to parlay with the Yakuza. I had a run in with their boss back in the day. He was a little younger but I ended up saving his life. They wanted to make me a member but I had to decline. They didn’t like it but still I thought instead of you going in there halfcocked, perhaps I could try something.” He walked over to Ascot patting him on the shoulder and walked in the direction of the Yakuza building.
