Petra, I was being nice and friendly. Just not nice and friendly with your intimate nether-regions.

Back at the bar, Shoan was still busy chasing tail and both the brothers Eldaire had eaten their share of the meal for 10 they had ordered. Suddenly, the door flung open and in walked Draconis, clutching a black bag. He immediately noticed Shoan at the bar.

"Where's your brother?" Draconis asked Shoan, who was lit up like a paper lantern.

A shaky, misguided hand extended towards the window, where in he saw the samurai's silhouette. Turning back outside, Draconis walked down the alleyway to the right of the tavern and looked at Amarth.

"Here. [tossing the bag to him] I want you to hold on to these."

Amarth looked down at the bag, perplexed as to what this demon would want him to have. Opening it, Amarth looked over at Draconis with an even more confused look.

"I bet you thought it'd be a head, huh? They're blessed jewels. I can't touch the things but where we're going, no mortal is safe. These are strong enough for you to walk through the front gate of hell. If you don't feel like trusting me on this, say hello to all my friends at the sulfur pits, would you?"

Draconis turned and walked back into the bar, leaving Amarth to deal with those holy nuissances.

My hands are better suited for holding a cup than a jewel.

Draconis sat down at the far end of the bar and gave the barkeep a quick hand signal. The barkeep nodded and brought over a red glass bottle with a sword bathed in flame etched into the side. In one fluid movement, he tossed a large goldpiece to the barkeep and tilted the bottle vertical. It was then that he looked to his left to find Shoan still there, leering at the two girls at his sides, even though one had passed out on the bar.

"You really need to learn when to cut other people off, Shoan. If you're going to kill them, at least give them the honor of dying in battle."

Shoan obviously had no earthly idea what the hell any of the words Draconis just said were. Turning to the other girl, Draconis said, "You're friend here needs to be taken care of. Should you need it, I'd be honored to help."

"Oh, Chi, wake up," exclaimed the conscious girl, "I didn't even notice. Please help me get her back to her room."

Draconis threw the passed out girl over his shoulder and carried her upstairs to her room on the second floor. After placing Chi in the bed, the other girl bowed to Draconis in appreciation.

Girl - "Thank you so much. My name is Rei Fubuki. May I ask yours?"

Draconis - "Oh, there's no need to be so formal around me. By the way, the name's Sosuke Senada. It's a pleasure to meet you, Rei. Now that she's safe in bed, would you care for some of this reserve? [holding up the bottle] It's really quite good."

Rei - "I'd love to. Actually, my room is right here and I have a sake set in there."

Draconis - "Well then, shall we? [extending his arm towards the door]"

Draconis looked down to Shoan at the bar. Shoan was fuming with anger. Looking him dead in the eyes, Draconis flashed a quick glint of red in his eye. He closed the door behind himself and the sound of the door shutting rang home with Shoan. A few minutes later, just as Shoan was drinking his worries out of his head, a woman's screams were heard coming from the second floor.

"What are you....aaagh!!...aaaagh...AAAAGHH!!"

Shoan jumped to his feet, grabbing his weapon. He was ready to sprint up the stairs when he felt a slight pressure on his stomach. It was the hilt of Amarth's sword. Shoan turned to him with a puzzled look on his face.

"AAAaagh YEAH!..Oh GOD!....OOOOOOHHH YES!..."

A flush of red came over Shoan's face and, looking back at Amarth, he saw Amarth shake his head once with a twinge of a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. Undaunted by the ensuing 2 hours of noise, Shoan quickly found another fair maiden at the bar.
