The old man let out a hearty laugh.
"You know, the spirit of the river can't help anybody. Do you know why?"
The old man leaned in close.
"Because there's no such thing as a spirit of this river. It's a metaphor. You see the river calms people and allows them a brief moment to reflect on matters."
He turned back and hit the drum once again.
"It is then they realize, it is impossible to hurt those close to you. That is why they are close. You can beat them..."
He hit the drum again.
"You can curse them..."
He hit it again.
"You can leave them..."
And again, he hit it.
"But truly hurting them is beyond your grasp. If they truly are close to you. Then they will remain that way, forever."
The old man let out a yawn and stood up. He slung the large drum behind him, and stuff the staffs away. He then held out a hand to the young girl.
"I will not allow a young lady to stay out here alone. Please allow me the honor of escorting you to my dojo."
The old man then bowed.
"Please call me Asumu."
RK threw his muffler around his shoulders.
"A course that doesn't involve pain...heh every path involves pain. Your lucky if it's only physical."
RK started toward the door.
"I'm gonna go look for Shanti. You should go see Connor and ask our fearless leader what you should do."
