OOC: Haha, yeah. I'm such a bad kid. o.0
I was equally surprised as well as satisfied to see him emerge, StyX.
""If you want to be refined, but I'm not one to give ritualistic courtesies." -> beautiful line."
Thank you. ^^

Kira took the remains of Zaku's reward money and tucked it neatly into her cloak. Then, covering her head with her black hood, after glancing back at the guards, she dropped a few smoke bombs on the ground and disappeared.

It was growing late and Kira wandered the streets until she came upon the local tavern. She entered it quietly, removing her hood and slipping up to the bar. The tavern was mildly busy, with all sorts of costumers. A few drunken men were arguing over which came first, the chicken or the egg, while others discussed matters of relatively more importance.

"What would you like, miss?" The bartender asked Kira in a soft voice as she sat down at the end of the bar quietly.

"Hit me with the strongest of whatever you have." She muttered in a stressed voice. The bartender walked off then brought a glass filled with a clear, bubbling drink and set it infront of her.

"Here you are." He said then went to help a new costumer.

Kira took the glass lazily and sipped its contents. She stared into the glass thoughtfully for sometime before sighing and putting her head down.

The tavern had quieted down some since she arrived and most of the drunkards staggered out of the building looking for women. The night was turning cold, the wind blew harshly outside and seemed to tear open the sky sending sheets of rain down upon the town, making any building with lights a warm, welcoming place.
