Jianzhen's Home

Jianzhen's home is located in the center of the village. It is a place that is the closest thing to a "Town Hall" of sorts for the village. Many small flying animals make their home in its rafters.

Jianzhen's Home

The Elder Jianzhen was sitting at his table with Kang Bao enjoying a game of Pai-Sho. The Elder picked up his cup of Jasmine Tea and took a small sip of the beverage while he eyed the board. He was winning this far in this match and waited patiently for Kang Bao to make the next move.

"More tea while you ponder you next move?", Jianzhen asked him.

Kang grunted. He felt the subtle dread of having his moves being planned by his opponent rather than himself. It had been several minutes since his turn started as he debated internally whether to take a wild move to try to throw the Elder off-balance or continue to play into the Elder's plan. The offer for more tea was a welcome break from his plotting; Kang's focused grimace cracked a friendly smile,
"Yes please, though I am afraid I already drank most of the pot."

Kang's thirst was prodigious, he had already drank through the foul-smelling beverage he brought for himself and was now sipping his way through his host's supply of tea. Unfortunately the only thing being well-hydrated was accomplishing was supplying plenty of sweat for Kang's brow as he plotted.

After a few more sips, Kang finally decided on his course of action. The Elder was in too good of a position to directly challenge for a victory, the only way for Kang to save face was to ensure neither of them could win. Well, or try to ensure neither of them could win. But first, he needed to lull the Elder into a false sense of security, so Kang did his best to give a convincing, exaggerated sigh of resignation and began to mirror the Elder's moves -- as if he had run out of ideas of his own and was reduced to mindlessly ape the Elder.

<--- From the Marketplace

Bara and Himawari followed Bolo's lead, the sooner the bandits were dealt with, the sooner the village would be safe. They hoped that Jianzhen wasn't especially busy, after all, a lot seemed to be going on here. Things that Bolo mentioned, and some things that he didn't.

Bolo led the way for the two Kyoshi Warriors to Elder Jianzhen's home. Upon arriving, Kano left his shoulder and chased a rather large bug that flew over the Elder's home. Shaking his head at his companion Lizard Crow, Bolo went to the door and knocked.

"Oh?" Jianzhen said and went to his teapot & lifted it, feeling its weight and indeed it was light.

"Well, you certainly like my Jasmine Tea - lucky for you i have a shipment coming this day or i would have to switch to Ginseng...I'll just get another pot started and -"

The knock at the door took his attention so Jianzhen went to the door & opened it to find Bolo at his door along with two Kyoshi Warriors.

"Good day to you Bolo - and what do we have here? Not one but two Kyoshi Warriors at my door this day...Do what do i owe this distinct honor?"

Kang smiled a bit as he had a bit of time without the elder's eyes following his own as he studied the board... trying to discern an advantage.  Like the elder though, the knock on the door drew his attention. He called out in a friendly, jocular manner,
"Surely my playing doesn't rise to the level of deserving an audience!"

But on hearing 'keyoshi warriors,' Kang stood up, dusted off his breeches, and made his way to the door, but letting the Elder do the talking -- after all, he was only a guest in the elder's house as well.

The younger of the two warriors gave a warm chuckle before the older one spoke. "We heard that the village required assistance regarding bandits, and we are willing to lend it." Himawari joined in. "Yes, we heard about the limited defenses and wished to help."

Jianzhen stroked his beard as he heard the Kyoshi Warriors speak of the town's trouble with bandits recently.

"Ah, of course - all of you please do come in. Im sure my guest Kang will welcome the chance to rethink his strategy", Jianzhen said with grin and a wink Kang's way as he opened the door and led his guests to the living area and gesturing to Kang to join them as well. As they came into the living area, a black sword could be seen displayed on the wall held aloft by pegs with no scabbard.

Taking a seat, the Elder said, "We have had some trouble recently with them, yes. We can see to our own defense as i can muster any able-bodied man to do so but not watch the roads...We are a small community and being remote as we are, we do not garner the attention of any Earth Kingdom patrols."
