A brief chuckle escapes The Shadow's thin lips. "Very wise. I studied with monks and masters, once, but I never could school myself to focus as well as would honour their teachings. And... there isn't much on the walls, here. I don't keep much of anything here that doesn't serve a practical use. There are chairs, if you didn't want to sit on the floor." He has not bothered to mention it before, since the habit is so common in the East. The Shadow doesn't mind it himself, but he is unable to get up quite as easily as he'd like.
