City stroll

[evillurks]

The Shadow arrives at Ichi's apartment by the door, rather than by PINpoint, and his knock is distinctly different from that of Chaz Walters. He is quick to greet Ichi once the door is open, however, trusting the other man to recognize his voice. "Afternoon. Feeling recovered from yesterday?" There is quiet amusement in his tone. He carries two canes, his own with the ebony eagle's head, and another wrapped in paper. Ichi will have a proper red-tipped white cane for the city streets, and the old man has even brought him a pair of dark sunglasses.

The quick staccato of Ichi's cane along the fence is reminiscent of a child's running along one dragging a stick, or a baseball card in the spokes of a bicycle wheel, and for a brief moment The Shadow is lost in a fit of mild nostalgia.

"Mmmmm?" It is a distant, thoughtful sound, as if his mind was briefly very far away. "If I put you into something where you may need to defend yourself, I'll warn you, but it's very likely." Most of his agents are expected to have some kind of fighting ability, and to protect themselves when necessary.

And The Shadow knows, Ichi certainly has the ability to protect himself.

"A warning." He chuckles. "How nice." He feels the grade of the pavement change and his cane returns to the path before him.

"More than you usually get in life." There's the trace of a smirk in his words. As they enter the park, there's the shade of trees overhead, and a number of soft nature sounds. The further they go along the path, the better the trees will block the street traffic, although there are people at play somewhere ahead in the park, too.
