Carter approached the monk and put a hand up. He bowed.
The monk bowed back.
"We'd like to ask if it's possible to seek shelter here." Carter said.
"The temple welcomes everyone, stranger. But if you have coins, I suggest staying with the town inn would give you a much more pleasant experience." The bald monk said.
"We aren't here for pleasure. Ginro Musashi."
"Danhara Taro. May I ask are you also a follower of Buddhism?" The leaves sweeping monk said.
"No, Master. But I am familiar with your religion."
"I see. As I said, the temple welcomes you. We have guest rooms in the north of the building." Taro said.
"Thank you, Master. May I borrow a meditating room as well? I need a holy place to finish a ceremony."
"Certainly, let me help you with the arrangement as well."
The kind monk led the two of them inside. He brought the incense burner inside the meditating room and a few other objects people usually used in ritual.
He placed two round sitting cushions on the ground.
