And just like that, Kenta was forced to face another inevitable truth; he had absolutely no power over his father. The way the man just looked at him without a care in the world infuriated him, but when he actually turned away and began speaking as though Kenta wasn't even there! That was a blow against the kitsune's pride and he wouldn't just stand for it either. But as much as he wanted to, he wouldn't hit him. Part of him couldn't and he had to just accept it. It pissed him off.
He roughly placed his 5' 5" father back on his feet and released him as though shoving him away, but of course the man didn't budge from his spot. Without a word he stormed away from KenoTao, passed by Soneko, and marched out of the hall with an aura of unforgiving malice trailing behind him. On the way, he almost tripped over a little red headed girl. Not in the least surprised, he pretended to take a few staggering steps and turned around, smiling at her pleasantly.
"Oops. Be careful little one." That was all he said as he walked on, not even giving the man known as Carl the time of day as he made his way to the door. He came in silence and so he left, putting as much space between him and the club before the door could close.

As the young child rounded the corner, Carl stopped in his tracks. He grabbed a pen and a random piece of trash from one of the tables and went back over to the counter, ignoring the boy as he left behind him. He jotted down something and left the note next to the still half-full bottle of Sake. He stood in the shadow cast on to the floor by one of the bar stools and let out a soft chuckle. His figure began to sink into the floor, swirling and melding with the tile. As he sank to his waist, his power level began to steadily rise, the let off a final burst just as his head disappeared into the floor.
Sake’s On Me.
~Carl

Hotaru stopped for a moment and looked back at the boy who almost tripped over her. "Sorry." She turned and continued on her way. When she spotted Keno and grinned and sped up. "Heeeey!" When she was close enough she would try and tackle Keno to the ground. ((Sorry about the fast post.))

<
I'ma apologize for the sloppiness of this post. They get worse and worse as the night gets later, I'm afraid.>>
It seemed Keno wasn't at all interested in what his son had to say. A chuckle went off in the back of Soneko's head as the man simply ignored his son. He liked the guy's style. He knew exactly how to get under a person's skin. That was made obvious as the young kitsune had stormed out. So Keno hadn't been the one to teach the boy how to fight. So Keno's fighting style would be different if Soneko if he got the chance to fight with the man. He was soon being complimented on his ability to fight. So he had been watching for some time, Soneko gathered.
"Well from how quickly you got the kid out of the way, I'd say you've got some skill yourself. I'll hold you to that offer. Give it a week or so and this bum thing'll be back in action." He said, obviously referring to his arm. It looked like he'd get a chance after all, so long as the two ran into each other again.

"I won't lie about my skill, but don't think so highly of me. I'm only ever as fast as I need to be. So long as I'm in control, timing is what's more important." His expression was one that only Keno could give under such a situation. Speaking humbly but grinning defiantly, as though daring anyone to prove him wrong in his statement.
His attention from the matter was cut short however when a very bubbly young girl came bounding into the arena after him. She was no kin to him, but she had taken a sort of genuine interest in him as a companion and he was delighted to see her.
"Little Firefly!!" he said happily as he caught the little girl in his arms, unflinching. She had gotten bigger, but not quite that big. "Where have you gotten off to," he asked in a playful tone as he began to make his way towards Soneko. Despite his previous demonstration, he was quite adept at holding more than one conversation at a time if he truly wanted to.
"One week you say?" he said in response to Soneko. "Well if that is the minimum, I dare say we should have ourselves quite a bit of fun in the near future. Are you still interested in that drink? I think there are still a few people around."

((Yup Pith is still around interacting with Kythe and possibly Yoko.))
The scents of the forest undergrowth hung heavily in the air. It was an sensation she was becoming all too familiar with. At the same time it was not one that was entirely unwelcome. At least that was the multitude of electrical impulses that flowed through this organisms brain told her.
Perched amongst the tree canopy a feeling which she had come to know as apprehension derived a physiological reaction within her abdomen. Such frailties were proving trying as she could be considered immortal in most rights.
This was where the mistress occupied her time and it was clear that what transpired within these premises far outstripped those in the outlying areas. The beings that occupied this region would prove a greater challenge than those she had dealt with on the trek here.
They had approached her with the fearlessness that accompanied lack of knowledge. What at first she percieved was the notion of lust soon evolved into the much more satiating emotion she had learned to be fear.
Though considerably less filling than the energy derived from the physical consumption of tissues, emotionally and metaphysically accessed energies had instantenous effects.
At the current circumstance, her vessels' emotional state held her in thrall. In time this too would pass when her hunger superceded her "human" mannerisms.

Something about the body language of this character made Soneko's drive to meet this man in battle even greater. Not because he was aggravated by the way the man had that smug grin on his face, but because he knew exactly what he was doing. It was the arrogant confidence that Soneko had displayed many times himself. For example, while in an argument and the other person is showing that they are getting aggravated by raising their voices, swearing, and so on, a person could easily fuel this anger by having a calm, un-phased smirk plastered on their face. It drove some people up a wall. And though they weren't arguing, or at odds against eachother in any way, the man had that same look on his face. Because of this, Soneko felt he understood, to a small degree, the man standing in front of him. It seemed like they had at least one thing in common.
Keno was soon occupying himself with a small girl. He assumed that the man was friends with the girl's parents. But they seemed pretty close given how young the girl was. Soneko checked his appearance. There he was, a charred, bloody, broken mess. He wondered if the girl would be grossed out or scared by it. But if she was family to those at the Orion, he was sure she'd seen much worse. Being exposed to things of that nature young was beneficial in Soneko's eyes. You learn to deal with it at a younger age and it doesn't effect you when you get older.
Just as soon as he was talking to the her, he had turned his attention back to Soneko and was talking about a match once his arm healed. That was an offer Soneko wasn't gonna pass up. That and a drink.
"A drink sounds fine to me." He said, turning to head back to the bar. He figured he'd give Keno some time with the young girl, since it seemed that they hadn't seen each other in some time. He assumed Keno would join him at the bar when he was finished catching up with the girl. He situated himself at the same stool he had sat in before, reaching with his only working hand to grip the bottle and take a small swig. The bleeding from his side and front had stopped, and Soneko knew the healing process had already begun. While that was one less thing to worry about, he'd have to put up with a bum arm for a week, which he wasn't looking forward to. Especially since that was his dominant arm.
's**t happens.' He thought to himself.
