Ryuu smirked as he led Arien through the door of the inn. "I figured we could use some rest," he said, shrugging. The inn was filled with people of all sorts, even at this hour. There were swordsmen and samurai and women of all types. Ryuu smiled. "You go get us a room, I'll get us something to eat."

Arien shrugged. "Mm kay." Swerving off in the opposite direction, she made her way through the crowd. Fianlly she reached the desc. "Room for two please." The clerk gave her a kew and she gave him some money. "Thanks." She looked around the room, trying to find where Ryuu moved off to. "Hmph. I hate crowds."

Ryuu hummed a song to himself as he walked towards the kitchen. They were just opening, and so he found it easy to snag two bowls of rice without anyone noticing. Making his way back through the crowd, he grabbed a man's wallet as he bumped into him. We've got enough money for a while, now. He made his way back to Arien. Stepping up behind her, he asked, "You ready to go?"

Arien whirled around to face him. "Yea, got the keys." She dropped them in his hand. "Lets go find our room. She started to walk down a hallway, searching for the room. "Ahh, here it is." Arien heald out her hand without looking up. "Keys"

"Keys," Ryuu mocked as he handed her the metal. "You're so bossy, Arien!" He smiled and watched her fiddle with the lock.

Arien put the keys into the lock and opened it. "Imma girl, thats what I do." Swinging open the door, she walked in. "Not much of a looker, but it'll do." She plopped down on a bed, her hands behind her head. "Smells something horrible too." She glanced at Ryuu. "And its not just you."

((i wasn't your deshi ^))
Shinya strode into the inn. "A room please," he said. "Just for tonight." Shinya, having recieved his key, walked to his room, which was right next to Ryuu and Arien's. He opened the door and collapsed on the bed to sleep for a couple of hours. He had been up all last night and all day today gambling. He needed a rest.

((Actually, she agreed to it. Kaoru said she'd be his deshi. I'm too tired to try to find the post.))
Ryuu wrinkled his nose. "It's not the worst I've been to. Trust me, living in the gutters is much worse." He sat down and placed the bowls on the table. Taking one of them, he started to scarf down the rice, unaware of the man next to their room.

Arien got up and walked over to the table. She picked up her bowl and went back to her bed. "Hungry are you?" Slowly, she started to eat the rice. After about eating half, she walked back over to Ryuu. "Here, not hungry." Setting it down by him she walked back to her bed. "You know, you never told me why you have a leaf behind your ear." Arien glanced back up at him. "Yes, I know. Random thought, but I've been wondering."

Ryuu didn't look up, but stopped eating for the moment. He continued staring at his bowl, but thrust the leaf at Arien. "You can have it. If you're ever in trouble, place it between your fingers and use it to whistle. The Dragon of the Forest will come to save you. I told the same thing to Kaoru. She just never got to use it." He was done talking now, and he returned to eating, a somber expression on his face, and his blank eyes staring ahead.
"I'm going downstairs." With that, Ryuu spun and made his way to the common part of the inn.

At a table in the corner of the inn sat a man in a green coat with red markings, an odd sight. The man's head rested on the table, meaning that one could only see the sides of his head, with smears in makeup and red facepaint visible. His teeth were clenched and a glance at his leg would reveal a white cloth wrapped tightly around his shin, a stain of dark red bleeding through. Drops of red spattered the blond ponytail jutting out the back of his head.
A low growl came from the irritated lump of a man as he rose from his position. He wasn't in the mood to go anywhere else, so he limped up to the counter and sighed, grinning at the man waiting there.
"Gimme a room. And make it quick." he said, tapping his fingers impatiently against the counter.
The man at the counter gave him an odd look, but nonetheless handed over a pair of keys. Slapping a few coins on the counter and giving his name, Palazzo, he snatched the keys and twirled them in his fingers. He sat back down and stared at the ceiling.
"Nights like this, I wish I could just cut somebodies head off. Uwe-he-ha!"

Ryuu stepped down the stairs, and made his way over to the counter of the bar. "Gimme a bottle of sake, and fast. I don't care if it's warm or cold or what. I just want some." The bartender gave him an odd look, but handed over a bottle, and Ryuu slammed the money on the counter.
Finding a seat, Ryuu saw the man next to him. Odd sort of man, isn't he? Ryuu asked himself. "Nights like this, I wish I could just cut somebodies head off. Uwe-he-ha!" Ryuu turned to look at the man more carefully. What was with him?
"Who are you?" Ryuu asked, his mind moving to Sora Tsubasa. Perhaps he could strike a deal? Ryuu shook his head. This man was probably all talk.

Palazzo raised an eyebrow and a smile, his eyes turning to meet him while his face did not.
"Does it matter?" he asked gleefully through his grin. A healing busted cheek was visible through the heavy paint. "What's it to you?"
Palazzo shifted in his seat, and twisted his head around to meet his.

"It matters a lot. That is, if you're actually capable of doing what you seem to say you can." Ryuu took a swig of sake, a flush beginning on his face. He didn't like the look of this man, but he was used to people of this sort.
"Let's just say, if you're as deadly as you think, I might have a use for you." Ryuu smirked and leaned back, swigging from the bottle. "A very good position."

"Hah!" Palazzo squawked, propping his feet up on the table, gesturing his arm back wildly. "Listen here, whoever you think you are. "I'm no one's errand boy, so if you think you can toss me some money and give me orders, you're in fact sadly, sadly mistaken!"
He was tired of this man, he felt like pulling off his face. But he also wanted to hear how he would respond. Oh, what fun it was to mess with the heads of fools. Palazzo was tired though, and willing to listen. Actually, maybe for a price, he might consider doing a few jobs, taking a few idiots out. But certainly not for a man that would give up after only one rejection.
