orion/kaji and everyone. Presence if elders
Kaji stood quietly. Merely observing rather than speaking. It seemed he was the only stranger among them not interested in being hired. Well perhaps that was untrue, a few had yet to comment. At the boisterous arrival of yet another individual it was looking to be more than the small village would be able to bear. Kaji assumed that each of the warriors held themselves in some manner of high regard and at least half of them were skilled.
Again he glanced around the room, first focusing on the structure of the building then the face of the residents. The young women of the village seemed the most concerned. The children curious. But the elders were cautious. They clearly didn't have much to give so kaji wouldn't be surprised if they were highly critical of who they hired. But of course it could always go the other way and everyone works for rice and baths a certain tall woman he had came to know.
Regardless he would have to pass this town up. Or perhaps as these warriors defended it he could find who threatens it. Who or what ever it was, probably wasn't with the army since the town was still standing. Kaji he should at least hang around infill answers were passed out. Maybe he could get clues then. He remembered one of the rules of the shadows. Always have a back up plan
