This is not a tourist. His French was flawless but he slips into Japanese as soon as he gets an 'arigato'. "You're very far from home, my friend. And your accent is -- American? You don't look like some Instagram Influence who who ran out of money. Do you need help?"

The man was big. He made no effort to make himself less big, as that would be disingenous and he could already see the other man scanning him like a threat. So he just let it be: yes, I am big and strong. You are not a threat to me, though, so for now I am not a threat to you. Confident and casual.
