Re: Chapter 1 - A Most Auspicious Meeting
Jiro grabs the woman even as she leaps, and gets a good hold on her. Doing his best to steady her, he steps back as much as he can, taking a steady stance, and helps her stand. "Steady there, ma'am. I have you. How'd you wind up in there?"
The words were more to calm her than anything else. He had a fairly good idea, and his blood boiled because of it. Damned Triad scum, endangering an innocent bystander just to 'test' me. They'll pay for this.
The need to get her to a larger island was obvious - this one was just plain too small. "Ma'am, I have to move us to one of the larger islands. Forgive my hands." So saying, he scoops her up, and starts back to one of the big spots. "My name is Jiro Koji," he began, trying to distract her once more, "What's yours?"
