Sake owed

[evillurks]

The Rettigue apartment has sat empty for a few days, as The Shadow worked out of the Sanctum and another apartment across town, closer to the area he's been watching. With another drug ring at least temporarily stifled, he is ready to migrate back to this place that is the closest thing to a home he has.

He is also likely to arrive late to his own arranged meeting, leaving Ichi to jump at the opening of the door. The muted sounds beyond indicate a quiet hall rather than the outdoors, and the rattling cough that accompanies the entrance should reassure him to who is entering there.

Ichi appears in the vacant apartment, uttering a few inquiring sounds that fail to be returned. His face grows dark with concern as he gives a worried grumble as he swings his cane around, exploring the apartment a bit.

When the door opens, he instinctively holds his cane at the ready, and then lowers it as the rattling cough identifies his late host. His posture straightens as he gives a worried expression. His voice stays low, concerned, but managing to be polite to a man he knows doesn't like to be fussed over.

"Are you alright?"
