Hearing the door open, Jin put down his tea cup and stood up. Dusting off his black yukata, he walked out of the kitchen. "Hello." He said to the young woman who looked to be rather nervous.

"It's quite alright for you to be here Miss. That is why I keep the front door unlocked. This is a place for everyone."

He smiled softly, appearing to be a gentleman, even though he was armed, the katana on his side. "I am Uzuki Jin, and you might be?"

Natsuki nodded slightly at Jin's introductory words, relieved to hear that her being here was not unwelcome.

The dark-haired man's appearance was friendly, an impression that could not be impaired by the sword he was bearing. Natsuki considered people who were carrying their weapons openly and for all to see to be more trustworthy and honourable than those who were hiding their weapons underneath their cloaks - although this did not mean that she was so foolish as to think of the former as harmless.

"My name's Natsuki Kruger," she answered his question. "I was accidentally passing by when I took notice of your store here," she explained further, letting her eyes run over the vast amount of books again, and a small smile appeared in her lips. "I wouldn't have imagined to find a spot like this amidst all this desolation."

"So... you are selling these books?" asked Natsuki the obvious, crestfallen realising that Jin would probably neither accept her Meister Card nor the few Windbloom Thalers she was carrying with her.
