After a couple of minutes, Damian sighs. [color=FireBrick]"First, we give him a proper burial. You seem to know him best, so perhaps it's best that you do it. If I may though, perhaps a funeral pyre is best. Meanwhile, I'll let Master Jamie know."[/color] Turning and walking a short distance away, he pulls out his communication lacrima. [color=FireBrick]"Master Jamie, do you have a moment?"[/color] [center][h2]James Hunt|Phoenix Wing Hotel[/h2][/center] [center][@Burthstone][@lunarlors34][/center] James nodded, studying it briefly before his eyes lit up in recognition. [color=SteelBlue]"Ah, an oriental blade! My father used one as well as a knight, and even showed me how, though I prefer the sword and shield, as you've seen. You have a solid stance and base, so for being self taught, you caught on to what's important when you're a swordsman quickly."[/color] Looking at a clock, James sighs and turns to leave. [color=SteelBlue]"I'm afraid I need to go, but perhaps the three of us can meet up again in, say, an hour or so and talk more?"[/color] After getting his reply, he waves as he heads out into the streets to get some supplies.
