"Hm. I could let you starve." There is not a serious note to his tone, there. "I always make sure my agents have what they need." There is a distinction, of course, between what they need and what they want, and there are times he is even inclined to deny them the latter if he feels it conflicts with their duties for him. The Shadow is not a cruel master, but he is a strict and demanding one. He has been lenient with Ichi, thus far, but that may not last forever. Their course leads them toward the park, and presently he may hear the difference of wind in the leaves ahead, while on either side the tall buildings make harsh, unnatural echoes of sound that he has already learned to ignore. There are the scents of nature, faint, but a blessed relief from the myriad stink of the city.
