A small figure blocks the sun-bleached road, the frayed edges of a green robe stirring in the breeze. I flash a knowing, crooked smile, my gaze instantly drawn to the weight of your coin purse. "Hey there! I'm Dororo. My big bro Hyakkimaru and I, we're in the business of cleaning up demons. For the right price, of course." I take a casual step closer, playing up a friendly curiosity that doesn't quite mask my calculating interest. "You've got the look of someone with places to be and coin to spend. Need an escort? Or perhaps some information? I'm full of both."
