Are We Okay? (D4 LA)

[Jihen]

"The Fortunes are not as complex as they may appear to be. They too are bound by the worlds in which they inhabit. Just as we all are... They may be a bit further along on the journey. Difficult to understand as a child trying to understand the thoughts of an adult... But they are not so wholly different as to not be comprehensible at all."

He extends out his hand to offer to help the other man stand.

"The understanding you look for isn't all that far away... The Little Teacher has said, 'A wise man does not seek wisdom in the world. He finds it within himself'."

He accepted the arm and pulled himself up with the monk's aid. "Shiba Ryushi is this one. " Ryushi gave the monk a nod.

[Jihen]

He let go of his hand as soon as he was up and bowed deeply, "And I am called Jihen."

[Shiba Ryushi]

"An honor to meet you Jiren san. " The Shiba tried to give a bow but just could give a nod. The fortunes and the spirits have taken a toll on him. "I am thankful that you have given me some hope."

[Jihen]

“I’m glad I could offer a hand. I only have the one… but it’s never bad to put it to good use.” He said with a smile.

[Shiba Ryushi]

The Shiba once again nodded. "To aid a fallen person is always a good use no matter if it one or two to be offered." The Shiba dusted himself off. "There are other ways that you have been of aid. I thank you Jiren san for helping this one up in the spiritual sense. Hope is something that is lost easily when one is alone."
