The best laid plans of mice and men..
Tacelyn glanced back, trying to spy the monk who had been clearing the stairway with his broom, but he was lost from sight.
Various monks in the vicinity, who she would have sworn were staring at her moments ago all seemed to be very absorbed in the menial tasks of their daily chores.
Life seemed to be full of obstacles. Even this, a simple door, now seemed as solid as an iron safe. She could only guess at the combination.. she pondered the words of the monk who had sent her on the short trip to this destination.
The man inside was an elder.. odd.. quirky.. solitary.. eccentric perhaps? And he knew of her.. it seemed best to identify herself in some way or other.
"I apologize for the disturbance," Tacelyn replied, through the door, "My name is Tacelyn, and I was advised to seek out a skilled healer named Miyagi.. but if he wishes to be alone, I would not disturb his solitude. If only I may be told when I might call again?"
