[Sitting at a small table with a pot of tea in front of him, several cups set around it, Jack looks up in surprise upon seeing the green being walk into the bar. Curious...it seems so similar. Could it be one?]

[Don pauses as he passes Jack's table, to consider this beverage.] Tea. Excellent. What kind?

Oh...um, green tea. Would you perhaps like to partake of some? [His eyes are a bit wide, but overall, he's keeping his voice level and courteous.]

If you don't mind. [He takes a seat.]

Not at all. [Jack pours a cup of tea for his guest and passes the cup and a saucer to him. The wideness of the eyes and surprise has been replaced with a welcoming smile.]
It has only been recently that I have had chance to sit down with others for tea.
[Jack gives as best a bow he can while sitting at a table.] You may call me Jack.

[Don drinks the tea.] You are the twenty-eighth Jack I've met here.

[A returning nod.] I go by Demosthenes.

[Jack raises a puzzled eyebrow.] The orator from Greece?
[He had learned much in his time training under the Olympians in Greece, including much of their history up until then. But...how odd.]

Yes, I'm named after him. Who are you named after?

Well...that is a bit of a story. I do not know if you would wish to hear it since it is a bit long...however, I will gladly tell it if you would like.
[It was a first: someone wanted to know how he got his name.]

I'm not in a hurry. I'd love to hear your story.

[Jack smiles and recalls the beginnings of his journey.] It began long ago in an ancient time in a land of Japan. When an evil being known as Aku was released, my father sent me away to safety so that I could train for many years under the masters from around the world. When I returned to my homeland, I took up my father's sword and fought Aku, only for him to throw me into the future using a magic portal in time. When the portal opened on the other side, I found myself falling through the air, carriages that flew soaring around me.

[Jack motions his hands to show his landing atop a flying car.] I landed atop one, only for the one behind it to destroy it with its weaponry. Jumping from one obstacle to the next, I finally landed in a deep trench filled with trash and debris! [For his first time telling this portion of his tale, Jack seems rather into it.] Before I could regain my bearings, a large metal vehicle loomed towards me, crushing and tearing through the garbage like an angry, ravenous beast ( ... )

[Au contraire. Don listens with a perfectly straight face, while calmly sipping his tea.] Sounds like a typical day.
