Shurikai breathed a sigh of relief as Kingetsu decided to accept their party request, grateful that things hadn't slid in the other direction towards anything tense. Players in the field, Shurikai included, tended to be wary of any potential threat including other played and so Shurikai accepted the handshake gratefully if a little formally and without word.

The relief Shurikai had had moments before turned to an inwards groan as his elder brother broke that unwritten rule of revealing not just his but both of their levels to the newcomer then offered to take care of the 28 year old male. Revealing ones level was a dramatic gesture of trust between player and best not done with strangers. If it turned out Kingetsu was a significantly higher level he could well decide to wipe the floor with the two of them in a PK attack and in the other case it was just plain intimidating even as a gesture of trust. Hopefully the man took it the way Shurikai knew Firelord meant it. Deciding he'd probably come off rude Shurikai decided to make his first venture into the conversation.

"That's fine." He said simply. "You can learn on the job and leave anytime if you feel uncomfortable or whatever... I need to sort myself out a new shield too anyway." He continued in the same simple, matter-of-fact manner.

"Shall we head to town?" Shurikai asked Firelord when he was done talking.
