Palazzo didn't move, and still muttered a low "Ow!" every few seconds.
"Grrk! Urr! That was a cheap shot and YOU KNOW IT!" he shouted, fuming. "Do you have the slightest IDEA what happened to that leg? GRRRA! That's not fair! IT'S NOT FAIR!" he continued, swinging his sword madly at nothing in particular, mouth still running.

Ryuu sighed. "Life isn't fair, Palazzo-san. And it's quite possible some other opponent would have used that as a way out." Ryuu placed the shiruken back, backing off from Palazzo's swinging sword. Finally, he sighed. "What happened to your leg?"

Palazzo stopped swinging his sword and dropped it to the ground, shutting up. He'd lost again...
He growled and looked at the ground. "Some assassin. Shoved needles vertically into it..."
Palazzo looked absolutely pathetic.

Ryuu felt sorry for him. Moving over, he reached out a hand. "I'm Yamatiko Ryuu. Welcome to Sora Tsubasa." He smiled. "You staying at the inn?"

Palazzo growled. "I don't need your sympathy." he barked, and stood on his own, actually managing to stay up, using his sheath to keep up.
"I had a feeling you were using a false name..." he said before looking up to his face. "Yeah. I've got a room there." Palazzo admitted.

Ryuu smiled. "Good! Then I'll buy you a drink. I was fighting as I would in reality, so sorry for the kick." He winked. "Got you to remember me, thought, didn't it?" He laughed and walked back towards the inn.

Having finally awoken, Shinya left his room and strode to the bar at the inn. He had just sat down when Ryuu and Palazzo entered the inn. He ignored them and ordered sake, his favorite drink.

Ryuu made his way to the bar. His sake bottle had been left in the alley, and Ryuu missed its company. He ordered another bottle from the man for himself, and one other for Palazzo. As he waited for the bar tender, his eyes scanned the crowd and rested on a young boy. Ryuu couldn't quite figure it out, but something about that boy was familiar. He was about to go over and introduce himself when the bartender returned with the sake. "Arigatoo," Ryuu mumbled. He placed the money on the counter and went to find a seat.

Palazzo stumbled along with a half frown, head hung a bit low. He wasn't too happy to have been defeated, but then again, it was his own dumb fault. He tried not to let it get to him. Either way, he was getting a free drink. Palazzo sat down next to Ryuu, his leg tucked almost ashamedly in. He nodded, and accepted the drink, taking a hefty swig. He didn't drink often, but when he did, he held nothing back.

Ryuu was glad the man trusted him enough to drink something he handed him. "So, Palazzo-san. Just why are you in town? And what's with this assassin that stabbed you?" Ryuu smiled, taking a long swig.

Palazzo swallowed, and turned his head toward him.
"I go wherever, fight whoever, and do whatever sounds good. I got bored, challenged an assassin to a fight. Needless to say, I lost... I was careless, and she cut me up. It was fun though." he explained, as if it were just another day in his life. A glance at his bottle would explain why.

Ryuu smiled. "I, too, have stories about getting careless, although if I were to tell you, you'd have to perish." Over the years, he had perfected the skill of holding his liquor, and now could outdrink nearly anyone. He smiled as he veiwed Palazzo's bottle, hoping he'd be a happy drunk, and not one bent on destroying everyone in the bar.
Ryuu's eyes strayed to the man again, still trying to place him. He seemed so familiar. Ryuu shook his head and took a deep swig of his sake. Sometimes his ability to hold his alchohol was a curse. "Damn, Palazzo-san. I just hate not being able to escape," Ryuu started, sounding like he was on his way to being intoxicated. "People follow me all around. They seem to think there's something to following me, simple Yamatiko Ryuu!" He said this over loud, so the man would hear it. He watched him carefully. Perhaps if he reacted, Ryuu would figure out where he knew him from.

Shinya glanced over his shoulder. The man who had been at the bar a few minuets ago was clearly drunk now. He obviously didn't hold his liquor well. Shinya turned back to his drink and tried to ignore the man.

Arien rolled her eyes and through back the covers. "He can be all grumpy if he wants. I'm not losing any sleep over that." She removed the scythe from its holder and set it next to her bed. Plopping back down on the bed, she pulled the blanket up. "This bed is so.....lopsided." Arien groaned and gathered up the blanket. She threw her pillow on the floor. "The floor it is then."

Palazzo laughed, pounding on the table, somehow finding the death threat funny.
"People are nosy, ya'know!?" he laughed. "Sometimes they get a little to close, and BAM!" He swung his arm at this point, causing a tanto blade to fly out of his sleeve and stick onto the wall, a few feet from someone's head. "You have to show them the buisiness end of a sword! Just like that!"
Palazzo sighed, and slumped down a bit. "You know... I never wanted to be a killer... ever since I was a young lad... I've always wanted... wanted... to be a geisha!" he joked, cackling madly and letting his head dip back a bit, barely breathing through his laughter. "Seriously, I've had people tell me I look like one, can you believe it? That I look like a geisha on opium or something, I dunno, maybe I do, but... but... arhhfsgghhh..." he finished, before giggling stupidly again.
"I keep... I keep losin', and... and I really don't know why, you know... I..."
The man seemed like he never ran out of words when in this state, and after a while, his rambling became ambient background noise, occasionally broken by a fit of laughter.
