Kaoru strolled through the crowd, his keen eyes caught sight of a mysterious individual clad in a hooded jacket, standing alone in front of an impressive display of traditional Japanese swords...Curiosity piqued, Kaoru approached the stranger, only to find a person whose gender was indiscernible due to the concealed features of the hood. Intrigued, he spoke with his trademark calm demeanor

Kaoru:"I'm Hanayama Kaoru, by the way....(raising an eyebrow) You seem to have an interest in swords. Know anything about 'em?"
