The man entered casually and another figure followed in from behind. That second man was shorter and leaner. He had a katana at his side and removed his hood as he looked toward the bar.
"Brunar, master, what happened?"
"Troni, come! Join us! We're celebrating!" Brunar cheered and lifted his mug happily.
"Celebrating?" Troni didn't know how to react.
"We just got a strong new member," explained Maynard. "With another swordsman joining, ya will have another man to learn from. Come and meet your new senior!'
Troni looked at the man in the center of the cheers. He was old but his muscular figure was no longer hidden under his sailor coat and his groomed, grey beard gave him an aura of an experienced killer. At his hip was a brilliant cutlass. It was clearly high-leveled and well crafted, saying a lot about the man who wielded it.
"Troni greets the new senior," said Troni as he walked over and bowed.
