Neko shrugged at the guy's response. "I suppose so." It was true, in their recent travels there was quite a big chance he had ran into the guy and just didn't remember him. As for what brought him here Neko had to think, he had drank enough that his mind was getting a little fuzzy.
"Just traveling I suppose," He took another sip of his drink turning back to face the bar. "Not that it was a willing adventure. Kinda fell into it and haven't made it back home yet." Neko took another large gulp of his drink and finished it off. Once he was done he stared at the bottom of his empty glass a little regretful that it was gone. "So what about you?" He tilted his head to the side to look at the stranger again. "What brings you here Mister.....?" He left it open so the guy could supply him a name.

Nodding a bit, Shun glanced towards the bartender again as the man brought the two ordered drinks. Once they were on the counter, he went and pushed one over towards Neko. As he did, he just worked on trying to get some more information out of the guy.
"Here. It's on me. And I'm Shun," he replied, figuring the guy wouldn't be able to remember the name anyway, "As for why I'm here... It's pretty much for some job opportunities."
"I don't think I quite caught your name. But.. whatever these travels are, they sound pretty stressful. Especially if you're on your own."

"Neko, my name is Neko." He took the drink gratefully and went straight to work on t. "And I'm not alone, which has probably made it more troublesome. The majority of our party is made up of girls so there are all sorts of.....woman problems." Neko wasn't sure how to describe it and if it could really be called woman problems but it sounded like a good enough explanation. Smiling awkwardly he reached out to pat Shun on the shoulder a little too over friendly. "I'm sure you know what I mean."

The slight grin Shun had faltered a bit as he twitched from the sudden pat. It was quite agitating, but he knew he had to keep up this act for now. Otherwise he'd probably have snapped at the drunken Neko by now.
"Yeah, I know exactly what you mean."
For a moment, he looked down at his drink, not daring to take a sip right now due to various reasons. He kept the glass in his hand, rotating it a bit while looking back towards Neko. Going by what he saw earlier, he did recall only one other male in the group.
"But.. that must be pretty nice right? I'm sure you've gotten a nice amount of action there."

"Action?" As soon as the word was spoken Neko broke out into a fit of laughter as if the word was some how extremely funny. He laughed out loud for a good solid minute before he finally calmed down to soft chuckles. "Action? Right. If...umm....hmm," Neko seemed to be at a loss. "Yuki, that's his name. Yes,....good old Yuki. If he wouldn't have my hide I'm sure I would have by now been thoroughly enjoying myself. But I suppose he wants everyone to be a lonely old virgin hermit like himself." Neko chuckled again staring at his half empty glass. If he hadn't been fairly drunk he certainly would never have told the truth about the matter. "Though I have to admit the girls in our group are pretty interesting."

How... obnoxious...
If he hadn't been doing this for the sake of information, Shun probably would have lashed out at this man by now with the hopes of shutting him up. But he had to restrain himself here. That didn't stop a growing urge within him to do something about it though.
"Heh. He sounds pretty stuck up or something," he said with what was almost a grimace, "But... the girls are interesting you say? How so? If you don't mind me asking."
As he spoke, he brought one hand by his side, slipping a small vial into his palm. He kept it there for a bit while keeping the vial hidden within his hand.

"Well, you could say our little group is a bit of everything," Neko couldn't really remember names at the moment but he tallied off the people as he spoke. "Of course the majority are feline. Me, Yuki, two of the girls. Hitsu." Random name drop. At least he was remembering the people he had been with for a while. "Then of all things we have a wolf in our company and a girl from the fin tribe. She's pretty cute though," Neko gave one of his trade mark sleazy smiles thinking about all the girls. He was obviously very drunk at this point as he finished off the drink that Shun had given him. "But whadda about you? Any lady friends with you?"

While he listened to Neko, the assassin lightly fingered the vial. This man, was quite annoying, which might only be due to his drunken state. But Shun thought about whether he really wanted to have a guy like this with him as he traveled back to Suto's lab, and decided that whatever payment he would get wasn't quite worth it. So he figured the full contents of the vial would be enough to pipe him up for good, granted the cat didn't somehow have miraculous regeneration abilities.
"That's quite a group. Wolves are pretty rare though," he said while thinking about it. This wolf was most likely the girl that Suto was primarily after.
"Nah, I'm on my own here, sadly enough. So consider yourself lucky my friend."
Slipping the top off of the vial he brought his hand back to his glass, and fiddled with it some. It was as if he was debating on drinking it, but just as with everything with him right now, it was just a ploy.
"How long are you in the city by the way? If you're staying another night, I hear the harem here is pretty damn nice."

"You might be the one to consider yourself lucky," Neko set his now empty glass aside letting out a small hiccup. "As for how long I'm here I have no idea." He gave a bit of a yawn. He had yet to have a nap or decent about of sleep for that matter so it was all catching up with him now that he was nice and warm from all the booze. Going back to Shun's previous statement he gave it some thought. True he didn't see a lot of wolves in the area, he knew they were widely hunted for their pelts like a lot of the animals were. "I suppose wolves are pretty rare. I don't see them much around here." He was apparently starting to slow down now. "The wolf girl is pretty cute for a kid though," More truth that Neko would never have let spill if his life depended on it. Alcohol did amazing things when it came to making him a chatter box.

Noticing the yawn, Shun figured time was about up now. And judging the information he was getting, he wasn't going to get much else aside from rambles about how cute the girls in the group were. Having slipped the contents of the vial into the drink, he decided now was a good time to end their conversation.
"Oh really? Well, I need to get going. I have to get up pretty early in the morning. So you take care of those girls ok?"
Standing up, he paused for a moment before glancing at the filled glass. With a light, though slightly awkward chuckle, he went ahead and pushed it towards Neko.
"I had forgotten abut my drink. But you can go ahead and take it."

Neko looked at Shun as he stood to leave and offered him a wave goodbye but then stared at the drink as he offered it to him. He stared at it for a moment wondering if he should really drink it, but what the hell. What was one more drink right? "Hey, thanks man. Next time I'll get the drinks." Neko smiled as he took up the glass and help it up in a gesture of thanks before taking the first drink. It wasn't much unlike the other drink but for some reason its effects seemed to be hitting him a little harder, though Neko assumed that was because he had drank so much already.

"Yeah sure thing. Take care."
Nodding to Neko, Shun turned around and began to head out of the hotel. He now had a slight smirk on his face, which was the result of a few things. One reason was simply because he didn't have to deal with the drunkard any more, and the other was because that annoying drunk would soon be dead.
At least that's what he thought. Either way, he had some more information on his targets. And tomorrow, he'll need to really get working if he can find a good opportunity to strike.

It only took those first words to upset Riyo. Only those first words, and something sank. And then, the question of why? Why would she deny them their God-given right to go home? Obviously, she was being too cruel.
"Well Yuki." She placed the steak she'd been eating back in the wrapping and gently put it down, then stood up.
"I guess... I'm just selfish." She smiled and shrugged. "This. This quirky little group of people is the closest thing I've had to a family. You've all given me something... Something, dare I say, beautiful. And, I don't fully understand it, but I wanted to..."
She turned away and walked into the bathroom, but still continued speaking. A soft rustling coming from inside. "And, when I was speaking just a second ago, I realized that if you do indeed go home, all of that's gonna end. Sorta like... Giving a child a nice toy, letting them enjoy it for a couple days, then taking it away abruptly."
She walked back out with her clothes slung under her arm. They were obviously not dry. "Truth be told, I could give less a s**t about your home. For what it's worth, I wanted to take all of you and smother you with what little nice things I could offer... Or maybe even hope you'd smother me."
And then, she began walking to the door. The dress... It had grown down to her feet in length. "But it's okay. You guys, go back to your little home. Where people know you by your first name and greet you with little thought put into it."
Her hand was on the knob now. "You have a nice, quiet, relaxing life now. Hopefully I won't find my way there and ruin it." The last part was in a very low growl. She'd opened the door and slammed it almost as hard as she could. It made a loud crashing noise, but she hadn't broken it.

In an attempt not to let the drink go to waste Neko finished it off quickly but soon regretted it as he felt his head begin to spin. Maybe now would be a good time to go back to the room? Trying to stand to his feet he felt his legs were a bit weak and nearly ended up on the floor had he not grabbed a firm hold of his stool. The patrons at the bar were staring at him now, mumbles about the kind of people they let in. Stifling a growl only hearing the muffled hums of their speech Neko drug himself up and made his way out of the bar with effort.
His trip to the room did not go as smoothly as he had hoped. On the way he managed to stumble into a rather well dressed lady knocking them both to the floor. Giving his drunken apologies and trying to continue on his way he fell over a potted plant in the hall not even five feet away from where he had fell before.
Now angry with himself unsure why he was so unsteady he started to notice his vision wasn't quite up to par and that he was seeing things he was certain wasn't supposed to be there. For once, he was very sure that he had drank to much. "God I'm going to regret this in the morning." Pressing himself against the wall Neko dragging himself toward the room at a gruelingly slow pace, visions creeping across his line of sight making him jump at the shadows or pictures on the wall. He really needed to get back and sleep this off.
