The sudden crash against the gate sends a wave of vibrations throughout the shrine, making the walls tremble slightly. With a deep sigh, Shinen puts down the bottle of Sake he had been enjoying before the noise. It was rare that he'd get a visitor this late at night. But offerings of food would be appreciated, especially if they had more of the dried meat they had brought him last time.
So, Shinen made his way out of his room, sliding open the door as he made his way to the front of the shrine only to be met by a curious sight. Someone had entered his shrine. They were on the pathway to the main shrine building with their back to him, facing the door of his shrine. That's odd, aren't the villagers too afraid to enter here? His thoughts were interrupted as something large slammed into the wooden door of the shrine.
Ah, they were chased here. Realization dawned on him as he stepped forward, his wooden sandals clacking along the wooden floor of the shrine. He grabbed his kanabo, the wooden clubs weight felt reassuring in his grasp as he stepped towards the shrine's intruder. "Are you in danger?" There was a hint of irritation in his voice as he spoke, after all it was late and it seemed this newcomer had brought trouble to his doorstep. "Sounds like something wants to get at you pretty fuckin' badly."
