Ichi finishes his cup of sake and holds it as he sets his hand on the table, carefully playing with it. His thick hands are dexterous. He thinks on the comments about guns.
"I'll do my best. And perhaps I can work with that sharp hearing of yours too." He reaches into his sleeve, there's a brief rattle and then he slaps his hand down on the table. "It's a trick I learned to help tune my ears. Everything I teach you will be based on what I hear, so I don't see how it would hurt to work with it." There's a wry smile and he mumbles. "Even." Lifting his hand, he shows two dice, and that his guess is correct that they add up to an even number. Cho-han, a gambling dice game of evens and odds, is an iconic pastime of the yakuza that's still popular in The Shadow's era.
