[ He raised a brow. She'll amuse him? He wasn't the one putting them in a cutsy little bag but, well, her gesture does make him smile and chuckle as he takes the bag. ]

Right then.

[ He gives the bag a little toss. ]

That reminds me, I don't think I got your name. I'm called Bishop.

[disagree]

Eula.

[ no last name, but it's not as if it's noticeable. besides, this is a good way to collect more of these things and have them checked. or something. she is NOT putting any of these in her mouth, at any rate. ]

All right. The one who can fill their bag to the brim first, wins. Understand?

[getting_better]

You're making a competition of this?

[ He raised a brow. Given he just got his old physical abilities back, it'll be like taking candy from a baby, but where would the fun be in that? ]

What does the winner get? Other than the stardust, I mean.

[disagree]

Why not? It'll help liven things up, won't it?

[ and it'll stave off suspicion that she'll be collecting this for... other reasons. ]

Winner will get a free drink from the loser. How does that sound?

[getting_better]

[ Ear twitch. ]

Ohooh? That sounds tempting. I have to warn you, I have very refined tastes when it comes to spirits.

[ Agent Bishop: Professional Alcoholic. ]

Lets keep things fair then. Lets even out how many we currently have. [ He says opening the pouch. ] There's...ten pieces in here. How many do you have?

[disagree]

That makes two of us, then.

[ she may despise her noble heritage, but she did get her high-class taste from them. she opens her own pouch and counts them down... ]

I have ten as well. A fair number to start with. Let's meet again after ten minutes then to keep up the theme?

[getting_better]

Sounds good.

[ He says sealing the pouch then takes out a coin from his pocket and readies to flip it. ]

I'll check this side. Game starts when the coin hits the ground.

[ The coin spins through the air with a ring, Bishop turning and readying himself as comes back down with a clack and clang - the signal to go. ]

[disagree]

[ the coin resonates, and eula books it. spotting an emergency ladder that leads to the rooftop of some random building, she does a great leap towards it and runs up, up, up, until she reaches the top.

it'd be easier to catch falling stardust here, so. nothing personal. bishop will have to check the ground in the meantime. ]

[getting_better]

[ Color him surprised. She must really want that free drink or she's a lot more motivated by this than she let on.

He waited a good minute before spotting her climbing up to the roof. Smart. Wish he thought of that. ]

Well, the lady wants to play seriously so...

[ He moves, not quite using the blinding speed he would against an enemy, but certainly fast enough to show he's playing fairly as he gathers up the stardust on the street. ]

[disagree]

[ who knows? maybe she just wanted to prove herself or flex a little. or she's probably bored. either way she's gone off into the night, nowhere to be seen (for now).

the stardust, she admits, look ethereal in the moonlight. they almost resemble snowfall in dragonspine at night. she gathers one, two, three, leaping from one rooftop to another before landing back down on the ground and checking the contents of her pouch. think this should be enough...

okay, time to find that guy. now where is he...? ]

[getting_better]

[ He was at most just playing out of sport, picking things up like he were collecting trash - and in way he is - and by the time she spots him he was helping an old yokai lady cross the street and carry her groceries.

Very not Shuten-clan like, but anyone who ignores a little old lady that's troubled is actually scum.

Checking his pouch, he thinks he's more or less gotten past the half way mark but he thinks he might not have enough as hers. ]

Hmmm...I wonder how I can get a bit more?

[disagree]

[ she blinks. huh, okay. didn't think there would be guys like him in this day and age in jigoku-cho, but eula doesn't recall him being someone from enma. must be one of those goody-goody guys who got sorted into this side of hell anyway. archons know how many people who made it here who don't deserve it...

she walks over to him, a hand to her hip. ]

Finished? I could help you.

[ she doesn't mean to showboat, but. ]

[getting_better]

[ There isn't a fella like him anywhere in the world. Evil, cruel, kind, sane, and unhinged. A walking hypocrisy, a very human thing. ]

Ah, is it that time already?

[ Of course she won, that was pretty much the outcome to be expected. ]

No, no. I accept defeat, anymore than this is just rubbing salt in the wound.

[ Tucking the pouch into his inner jacket pocket, a Shuten pin pinned right at the seam to indicate he's not on duty right now. ]

So, drinks for the victor - if I remember correctly?

[disagree]

[ her brows knit at the sight of the pin. so he's a ranked member, huh... not that she's on shift right now either. it's not like what they're doing is illegal, anyway. ]

Precisely. Truth be told, I have not delved too deeply in the Shuten Clan's drinking scene. I'd like some pointers for future reference.

[getting_better]

Shuten?

[ He glances at the pin, that couldn't have been more than a few seconds - so she has a good eye. ]

Well, if it's them, Toraguma aside, most just drink until it's tomorrow then do it again. They wouldn't know a good bottle even if you smacked them in the head with it.

[ He grins. ]

I, on the other hand, am not like them. Despite how I look I'm a professional chef, I was the one who manned the barbeque Gojyo had set up during that beach party. Part of being a chef is knowing my spirits, and I can say with no arrogance - I am damn good bartender.
