Hirosho Horatami stood observing the room, then spotted the young but known oban, Cheng. He approached the Oban, sitting alone and quiet like in the shadows.
"Ehem.. Cheng. Why do you sit here observing nothing but your eyelids? This is an exciting time! Cheer up and have some tea with our brothers. There is a nice table over there where a few of my Roju friends are drinking. You should visit them, I'm sure they would gladly accept you for a drink."
