Ichi picks up his tea, his eyebrows seem to be pinned down today as he turns a concerned ear towards The Shadow. They've been in a fight together, and nearly beaten each other with canes, but this is the first actual expression of pain Ichi has heard from him.

"What hurts, specifically?" With most patrons he's concerned about being paid. He's been stiffed his fee too many times. Tonight though, his concern is helping The Shadow, payment is not the issue.

He drinks the tea in healthy gulps. The sooner he can get to work, the better.
