I find it difficult to believe that I'm the only one who has chosen to remain behind on the night of the party. I've spent the better part of a month on the streets of our illustrious host city. [Bone dry.]

I'm finding myself in the mood for some company. I don't suppose anyone here knows Wicked Grace or Diamondback?

If not, I'll settle for a decent drink. I'll even buy the first round.

Interesting. It seems that for many worlds armor is a lost part of the past. What are some traditions of the shinobi?

[He frowns.]

Both. They blight whatever they touch, killing vegetation and mutating beasts and people in terrible ways if they don't kill them outright.

What's your weapon of choice?

[encourage]

Outdated and antiquated.

( She says it with humor, but doesn't offer actual insight into the traditions of her people. There's a nod of understanding as he explains this version of corruption, reminding her of some varieties of zombies she's encountered both in person and through friends. )

Sounds like your order would have a high risk of short careers among its members.

( As for an answer to his question, she almost looks embarrassed. She shrugs, then holds up her hands. )

After these? Kunai when I need them. I know some short-sword work, but it's not my field of choice.

[He notices the deflection without drawing attention to it, instead chuckling and nodding.]

It would sound that way, wouldn't it? It's not the safest job in Thedas. I'm sure there are worse. Somewhere.

[His turn for some humor. There are some things not meant for the ears of strangers.]

I'm afraid most of my hand to hand unarmed training comes more down to brawling than anything with finesse.

[encourage]

If you're ever looking to add some finesse...

( It's more of a joke than a sincere offer, delivered with a half-smile and the sort of confidence that came along with knowing she could follow-through should this man she'd just met wish. )

[ofthegrey]

I never turn down a training offer. If we find ourselves on similar schedules, I wouldn't be opposed.

[He enjoys the chance to encounter new fighting styles. That's one thing this place has never been in short supply of.]

[encourage]

Consider it a standing offer, in that case. With the exception of later tonight.

( Inebriated people made poor proper sparring partners, and Sakura planned to fake it like she can drink a respectable amount. )

[ofthegrey]

Oh, trust me. Tonight I am determined to do nothing useful at all.

[An easy chuckle.]

Tonight is for fun.

(OOC: Is this a good stopping place for you? I was thinking we could all handwave the card game with those who had responded.)

ooc;

( Totally fine by me! \o/ )
