[maipokerface]

Yes. Definitely.

[And it seems Mai doesn't care enough either to help throw him out of anything. Instead she skirts around the choking man, rolling her shoulders as she blows out a breath once she exits out the front door.]

What a mess.

[shikomizue]

What part of it?

[Once they've exited, leaving the sputtering man behind to his incomprehensible cursing, Takasugi falls in step at Mai's side.

He'd given up the rest of his product at the bar, so there's nothing left but idle chatter keeping them together.

Which suits him well enough, for now.]

[Mai turns a deadpan look on the man.]

What do you mean 'what part'.

[shikomizue]

The bartender. The pathetic excuse for secrecy. The group of people yammering on and on.

[He reaches into his yukata to fetch his pipe, going about the process of lighting it - pausing his list only to place the mouthpiece between his lips.]

The man who didn't seem too happy about his snack.

[It was all a mess, to him.]

[maipokerface]

All of them. The whole thing.

[She says it like it's the most obvious thing in the world.]

[shikomizue]

Heh.

[A fair appraisal.]

Worth the money?

[For him it is, benefit reaped not only in silver but in information. About the darker economy of the city, and about the refugees he cohabits it with.]

[maipokerface]

... I guess. It was an easy enough job anyhow.

[shikomizue]

Easy enough to come back for more...

I'll see you around, then.

[In the Guilded Cage, or in the city streets. Though he's not likely to approach her in the later.

As for the former, Takasugi would work with the woman again.

His path splits from hers, a half-hearted wave all the goodbye he gives.]
