[Gakupo couldn't help but admire the shamisen, and wish he had his right now.]

Ah, you're very kind to offer your ship to me. My name is Gakupo Kamui. [He gives a bow from his waist in respect.] Well met. [Once he stands upright, Gakupo hums while crossing his arms.] Perhaps it's best that I do join you. I'm not familiar with this land and all.

Another question: where did you get that? [Gakupo points over to the shamisen.] It's lovely!
