Ryuu smiled. "As if I've never heard that before." He took another sip. "You see, I don't hire people to kill for me; I can take out my own targets. I'm in charge of a large army of theives and assassins. They all act separately, until we're needed to take someone out, or discourage someone from taking a certain action. You're completely independant, but you get payed. Sounds good, no?" Ryuu smiled. "I'd tell you the name, but it's too public."

Palazzo's grin grew. So he wasn't a coward. Excellent! He pretended to give it some thought before opening his mouth again.
"Hm... It sounds a bit dull, persuade me more. I don't like to take orders, where does that put me?" he laughed, enjoying this bit of conversation.

"With most of the rest of the group," Ryuu answered, a glint in his eye. "I don't like to take orders either, but I do when I must." He paused. "I just slit my commander's throat afterwards." He smiled. This man was starting to interest him.
"But I really can't extend an invitation without seeing your skills. I'd gladly fight you, but I'm sure you'd wish to kill me." Ryuu shrugged. "I know I can take it, but I'd like to see."

Yes! Palazzo let out a delighted "Ha!" and rose from his seat immediately.
"Of course." he replied with a nod. Maybe staying here wasn't such a bad idea after all. "I'll show you a bit of what I can do! I'd love to have a quick match!" he laughed, his injured leg slipping his mind as he agreed.
Palazzo extended an arm for a handshake, grinning eagerly as he looked down.

Ryuu grinned and stood. Clasping the man's hand, he shook. "Let's just not kill each other yet, okay? I'm Kinichi. And you?" Ryuu didn't trust the man enough to tell him his name yet.

Palazzo tilted his head back slightly, letting his eyes shine in the dim light as he smiled.
"Palazzo." he said, stretching and twisting the word as he spoke it and offering a slight bow. "Shall we? Hehe!"
He whisked his keys off the table and slid them into his pocket, quick to start towards the door.

Ryuu smirked. He walked forward and held the door for Palazzo. "Ready for some fun?" He moved towards an alley by the inn, ready to test both his, and Palazzo's skills.

"Of course!" Palazzo laughed.
He stretched his arm across his shoulders abnormally to pull the sword from his waist. Only, he didn't pull it out of the sheath. Rather, he pulled the sword out of his belt, still in it's case and pulled it off in front of him, holding his Tachi in one hand and it's sheath in the other. He crossed them both in front of him before taking on a fighting stance. He let out a throaty: "Hehe..." before charging ahead, sheath in front of him and his sword at his side, pointing forward.

Ryuu smiled. "It's been so long." Reaching down, he pulled out his katana, enjoying the blue shine that came off of the blade. He grabbed a kunai from inside his shirt, and held it tight in his other hand. He searched Palazzo for a weak point, watching him charge. There! He watched Palazzo slightly limp as he ran forward. He logged the information away in his head to use when he needed to. For now, he'd fight fairly.
His katana running diagonally across his face, Ryuu awaited the attack.

In mid charge, Palazzo twisted the sheath he held in front of him and swung upwards with it, attempting to knock the katana from Ryuu's face with the upwards swing, and follow through with a sword attack from the Tachi to the man's now exposed face.

Ryuu smiled, allowing Palazzo to knock the katana away. As he did, however, he swung his head far to the side, avoiding the blow. The moment he was safe, he thrust his other arm forward. If Palazzo didn't do something, the kunai would wind up deep in his side.

Expecting a counterattack of some sort, Palazzo dropped to the ground and swung his sword to the side, expecting to hit or at least swipe at his leg. Regardless of whether he hit or not, Palazzo kicked off a wall to slide himself back, rolling backwards and coming to his feet, raising his sword and it's sheath once more in front of a twisted grin.
"Woo! Hahaha, this is great!"

Ryuu shot his hand back to hit one of the sheaths at his side, blocking the majority of Palazzo's swing. A small line of blood trickled down his leg, but Ryuu hardly noticed. It had been so long since he'd had a good fight, and now the blood lust was returning to him.
Ryuu smiled broadly. "Finally!" He flung the kunai at Palazzo and unsheathed the kodachi. Running forward, he jumped into one of the walls, flipping through the air at Palazzo. As he flew, he spun, adding force to his blow. He aimed the kodachi at the sheath, and the katana at the sword. The moment they hit, Ryuu slammed his foot forward, looking to hit Palazzo in the bad shin. Hard.

Palazzo swung the sheath at the kunai, missed, although so did the kunai. Lucky, though Palazzo didn't have much time to thank the heavens, for Ryuu was practacally on top of him in mere seconds. He cursed, and slid back with the blow, grinning as he believed that he had managed to block attacks from both swords. And then, out of nowhere, pain on a scale not yet invented.
His eyes bulged, and he made a squeak of a sound. "You... dirty... bastard... You knew that was injured didn't you!? Owww, DAMMIT! Ow, ow, ow, ow!"

Ryuu smirked. "It's kind of obvious. You forget to hide your limp." Ryuu pressed harder against the shin to flip backwards. He sighed, sheathing the katana and grabbing three shiruken. "You still wish to fight?"
