[ No, thanks, that doesn't sound like something he wants to deal with. He's hungry and really wants to eat, sure, but not at the risk of being thrown into a situation that's lifethreatening in a way he can't handle compared to this one..

But the promise seems to convince him enough that it'll be okay. This guy seems like he's a reasonable and decent guy! Not that.. it takes much for Shinpachi to think that, but still. ]

Great. Then I guess we should at least introduce ourselves while we wait around for one, huh? [ Not that Shinpachi is the most polite person around, per se.. But he's friendly, and this guy seems like someone he wouldn't mind knowing whatsoever. ]

Nagakura Shinpachi. Uh-- eastern order, that is. Since there sure seem to be a lot of western folks around here too.

[ It's why he doesn't offer a handshake or anything - he's too used to eastern customs compared to the newfangled (for his time) western ones.. but at least he gives a friendly grin? That's worth more in his eyes. ]
