Without missing a beat - although, maybe, if one looked close enough, they might have spotted a twitch of a smile - the man replied: "500 Ryo for a drink of water."

Then he stopped, casually flicking the last drawer shut. With his head actually lifted and his eyes forward, it was possible to pick up on the paints applied to his face and the pins in his hair. A performer for sure, then, or at least, someone with something to sell, otherwise he would not go through so much trouble in order to advertise his person.

"1000 Ryo for a cup of tea." Now the smile again, a bit more permanent. "...but it may take a little time."

He nodded his head.

"To heat the water."
