(Moon 11, Night, Hold) Wrestlin'!

[Volsung]

It's quiet in the hold again as Rinzuki runs back up the stairs. Once he is certain they are alone again, the ashigaru bursts out laughing. Though his sister doesn't seem quite as amused she is giggling behind her hands. Happy meanwhile doesn't look quite as pleased.

"That was mean, Dageki." He states with a slow shake of his head.

Dageki is still laughing as he looks back at the other man. "And? If she's gonna ask stupid questions she deserves it." The ashigaru plops down on the floor. "Oh man, even if this gets back to me that was worth it."

[Yasuki Himiko]

Hearing the commotion, Himiko also made her way down. She was, perhaps, a bit disappointed in seeing only some peasants, but she kept walking in their direction anyway. "Good evenin', Peasants. How's it goin'?"

[Volsung]

By this time the ashigaru were starting to wonder if there was a revolving door above the hold.

Dageki was still too busy laughing to respond to the Yasuki's question so Happy took over. "Oh, samurai-sama. We were just laughing at one of Dageki's jokes about... uhhh..." Happy pauses, not sure what to say they were talking about.

"Fishing!" Dageki manages to add in helpfully before he cracks up again.

Touhi just smacks her forehead at her brother's antics.

[Yasuki Himiko]

"Fishin' jokes? You guys bullshittin' me?" She looked to them with a skeptical eyebrow. "Come on now, what's the joke? I ain't some bitch whose gonna cutchya because of a joke."

[Volsung]

Dageki chuckled. "Ah... she don't get it either." The ashigaru got to his feet again and stepped back from the Yasuki. "Goin' fishing means getting some action. Riding the Orochi. Playing Find the Port. Got it?"

Touhi actually started to turn a little bit red at her brother's descriptions.

[Yasuki Himiko]

"Ah, right. Sexin' it up. Y'all ain't doin' anythin' like that in here are ya?" She raised an eyebrow speculatively. "I'd hate teh hafta bust some heads fer somethin' stupid."

[Volsung]

Dageki narrowed his eyes a bit. "No. We ain't near as stupid as that. You might want to watch Kitten though." The ashigaru grinned.

[Yasuki Himiko]

"Kitten?" She seemed a bit confused at that one. Obviously she hadn't picked up the nicknames quite yet.

[Volsung]

Dageki laughed. "Oh you'll know 'er when ya see 'er. She's not hard to miss that one." Of course, the Yasuki wasn't hard on the eyes, but she seemed the kind to beat the stuffing out of you for suggesting such a thing.

[Yasuki Himiko]

Himiko just nodded. "I suppose." Then she looked at the peasants, studying them carefully to see who might be the biggest and most capable of holding their own.

[Volsung]

It wasn't hard to tell that Dageki, the man who had flipped the Scorpion into the water earlier in the day. The other two looked capable though.

[Yasuki Himiko]

"You!" She looked to Dageki. "You wrestle?"

[Volsung]

Dageki looked the woman over once, then shook his head. "When the occasion calls for it Yasuki-sama. Hida-sama was just talking about a need for a wrestle and Kitten followed him out."

[Yasuki Himiko]

"Huh," she muttered lightly. "'s a shame, ye look like ye could hold yer own. Maybe I should find out who this Kitten is... doubt they're good in a fight wit' a nickname like that."

[Volsung]

Dageki smirked. "Hai, usually. Don't often fight samurai though, Yasuki-sama. On account of ya'll having superior breeding and training and what not." It wasn't hard to tell that the ashigaru wasn't entirely convinced by that argument himself.

"Besides," he continued. "Still a little sore from tossing that Scorpion overboard earlier today."
