The Reiseki, the man of spiritual peace and harmony, was indeed inside the building. He had been pondering, as he usually did, on matters that were outside the realm of objects and worldly materials - matters of the mind and the soul and the heart. He heard the door open and drew himself from his thoughts back to the world - he could attend to those matters later, but now he smelled a fellow Ichikan and heard her call for his name. He recognized her as Jace.
He turned towards the black, white, and brown wolfdog that now stood in front of him and smiled warmly, placing his hands together and bowing . His dark cloak was on, and the hood was pulled over his head - fall was here and the days were steadily growing colder and colder. "Jace," he rumbled, his deep and rich voice washing over the room. "How are you?"
