Hamachi has just entered the village to sell his bamboo wears, when he noticed that people were huddled around a new building, chattering up a storm.

He stopped what he was doing and tilted his head, accidentally hitting it off one of the bamboo things coming out of his large basket on his back, making him flinch slightly. The boy then walked over to where everyone else was and tapped someone's shoulder to ask them what was happening.

"Ah, excuse me ma'am, but what's going on? Why is everyone over here, and why is there a new building?"

He raised a brow, looking from the crowd, to the house, and then at the old lady in front of him. She seemed surprised he didn't know and her eyes widened slightly.

"You haven't heard?! Someone new moved it from a different village! Apparently they go from place to place and guard wherever they're at for a few years before they leave again to the next village."

Eh?! A... Guardian? For the town? This was something new -- Hamachi never expected this kind of thing to happen.

He nodded to the woman and thanked her before smiling and bowing. The boy then turned around and sighed softly before walking away from the crowd and to a more quieter area of the down as he waited for the people to leave- he wanted to be able to greet the new person properly after all and not overwhelm them like everyone else.

After about ten minutes, more and more people began to dispatch from the building, and went back to their regular business out and about the town -- so Hamachi took this opportunity to walk back over and greet the new "protector".
