Prayer of Thanks (Day 4, Early Afternoon, Open)

[Jayant Utpal]

After getting the translation, Jayant's eyes narrow for a moment, he looks back at the translator and mutters some words to him in his native flowing tongue.

The woman pales for a moment, but looks to Nobuyoshi none the less and speaks. "-sama...he says he will help but demands your promise of help in return"

[Bayushi Nobuyoshi]

Nobuyoshi shakes his head.

"A promise demanded and given so quickly would almost certainly be a lie." Nobuyoshi offers. "I can only promise to listen to what he has to say with an open mind, and return what is given in equal measure."

"I would rather trade truth for truth, than lie for lie."

[Jayant Utpal]

As the woman translates, Jayant's frown deepens. But he seems to realize he's not going to get much better at the moment. He speaks to the woman, who turns and offers the translation. "He accepts this and says he would prefer privacy to talk of such matters. He will come to the Embassy to speak of it further."

[Bayushi Nobuyoshi]

Nobuyoshi nods.

"A very sensible suggestion." Nobuyoshi offers. politely. "When schedules allow, we should meet there. For the moment, I should probably make my way to somewhere else, and let those with more spiritual thoughts remain."

[Jayant Utpal]

After the translator did her duty, Jayant offered both a namaste and spoke to her. "He gives his thanks for your courtesy and he will call upon the Embassy for you at a later time."

[Bayushi Nobuyoshi]

Nobuyoshi offers a polite bow to the gaijin.

After that, it's simply time for him to....

/exit

[Jayant Utpal]

Jayant watched the Bayushi leave with his translator and then turned back to the temples. Now though, he had other business to attend to. With a final bow to the representation of his collective gods, his hands held far above his head, Jayant turns and heads back into the city proper.
