Tsi followed the captain into the room. He took a seat and shook the water off of his head. He listened to her speech and then did what he always did when talking to someone. He counted the number of ways in his head he could've killed her. It was a little exercise he always did in his mind to keep him ready to kill someone. He hadn't seen this room before and didn't know what was in it, which lowered the number by about ten.
He watched as she walked behind the screen and apparently changed clothes. Well, at least that smell will be gone... He could hear every sound that was being made in that room, from the rustling of clothes, to the near-silent breathing. He didn't drink the wine. There were only two things Tsi would ever drink, water and, occasionally, sake.
"What kept you?"
Tsi replied, "Weather," but apparently she didn't hear him, because there was a knock on the door right when he replied. Two men walked in, and Tsi immedietely began doing his kill count in his head again. Then, he noticed that one man was in bonds, really loose bonds at that. He heard the other man call him traitor. Hmm...this ought to be an interesting story... He began to listen intently when the man in the loose bonds spoke.
