It was a warm summer day, warmer than he'd have expected to have back home in Tokyo but his work has taken him out of the country once more. Not that Sadow Katsuro minded too much as it allowed him a much needed bit of rest in between meetings.

That 'rest' in this case, being checking himself in as a bidder at a prestigious auction house he'd scouted online before his jet even landed. He's been looking forward to the auction today since he first read of it. There were suppose to be 200 lots and several of them were truly beautiful historical artifacts he wouldn't mind adding to his collection.

He checks in quickly, signing the forms and putting his card on file, and receiving his paddle. A spring to his step as he crosses the grand entrance hall with its high ceilings and ornate chandeliers, eager to get to the auction hall and find a good seat.

Minutes tick by as the seats slowly get filled by other attendees and finally the bidding begins. The first few lots already on stage but nothing he came for, mostly sports or celebrity memorabilia. His leg bounced slightly, waiting for one of the artifacts he'd seen on the site to finally come across the stage.
