Kasumi glanced toward the front door as the doorbell rang, and put down the pot she was washing before she dried her hands.
Walking briskly to the front door, she stopped briefly to straighten her apron before opening it.
"Hello, sir. Can I help you?" she asked the curiously pale, cowled man in black robes standing in front of the Tendo household.
"Perhaps. Does a Saotome Genma live at this residence?" Richard asked, his hands clasped behind his back, "I hear he is also known by the moniker 'idiot panda'."
"Yes, he does," Kasumi answered with a smile, "will this be a visit to finalize an engagement agreement, revenge, or are you investigating some sort of criminal activity?"
"Other," Richard said cryptically, "but if I had to choose one, I'd say it definitely involves criminal activity."
