"You are Ginro Musashi?" The elder was a bald old man with two white mustache that touched the ground when he sat.
"I am." Carter sat down and bowed gently. Traditional formality.
"Well behaved. You must come from a noble family."
"Not anymore." Carter shook his head.
The elder chuckled. "That happens a lot lately. Leave us alone, Tanabe."
"Yes, elder! I'll be outside." The villager bowed and leave.
The elder took out a long wooden pipe and took a puff. "Smoke?"
Carter shook his head.
"Not a lot of men that doesn't smoke these days. My name is Uroku Bunzo. I've been the elder of this village for 28 years. And an Awaken for 50 years."
Bunzo waited for Carter's reaction. But he sat still.
"I guess you are an Awaken as well. What's your Star Level?"
"I'm not an Awaken."
Bunzo's small eyes widened a little bit then went back down. He laughed some more.
"Elite, huh? What a guy like you doing in this place?"
"I'm just passing by."
