OOC: You know Kenshin, when you pull crap like that you don't make us see how right you are, you make us see how you are acting like a kid throwing a temper tantrum. Suck it up and move on.
IC:
Janus smiled and nodded at the notion to retire to an inn for the evening. He wondered what Nissa was going to ask, but decided to let it go. He followed her to the door and saw her reaction when she stepped through the threshold. Without even thinking about it he jumped in front of her, hand going for his bow. It would take a second to fully draw it, but he hadn't thought that far in advance when he reacted.

OoC:Really? You bitching because I did something that "only an assassin could do" when it isn't something to get pissed about but I can't show it? I CAN EVEN SNEAK UP ON SOMEBODY AND DO THAT! If you know how to move without being heard it's not that hard to do that. Then again there is nothing that happens in the real world that can happen here...
BiC: Hiro had assaulted that man but they didn't know that, if he was to get away unharmed he would need their help. *COUGH* *COUGH* Hiro started to do a fake cough at first but it turned into a real one from the way he was doing it. It made him want to throw up. Doing his best to throw his voice he spoke up. "How dare you attack a sick man. I told you I was sorry for ACCIDENTALLY kicking dirt at you." He had hoped that the maiden of the bar and the others had believed his story.

OOC: If one of our members feels you powerplayed, as he did, it is my job as a moderator to step into the situation and resolve it as I see fit.
IC: Janus would have believed the man, if not for one thing. The cut on Richter's neck. He had been out of sight for no more then 10 minutes, not long enough to get into two fights. It was unlikely to think that a frail and sick man could injure a trained warrior with no visible weapon, meaning he'd need to be in close range. Maybe the odd man started it, maybe Richter was the villain, he wasn't sure, but he knew something was wrong.
Knocking an arrow he aimed it in between the two. "Nissa, stay back. Something isn't right here..."

OoC: And when it's two people doing something that's wrong you don't target one you target both. If a member has a problem with something it's up to them to do one of two thing. Take it up with the other member or turn to us. Taking it into their own hands and doing the same thing isn't anywhere near the right thing to do so take off your blinders and take up BOTH wrongs not just one. You didn't say a thing till I said something about not liking his power play. You were on less then an hour after his.
BiC: Knowing that just little coughing fit wasn't just enough to fool anybody he started to breath heavily. His hand started a slight tremble due to the fear of the situation. He could escape the pink haired man but he may have support from that one that was blocking his chances of getting lucky tonight. What he would give to have the abilty to read minds.

Needless to say there was a wave of confusion washing over the Shaman upon witnessing the sight. She wasn’t sure what had occurred but a man was running off claiming Richter to have attacked him. Janus moved quickly in front of her drawing his bow out, ordering her to take a few steps back. Quietly she did still clutching the tome of Luna tightly as if worried trouble might arise again. Slowly her hand dropped as she watched the man cough and begin breathing heavily, yet there was blood on Richter… what sort of exchange had occurred?
“Surely there is some sort of misunderstanding here?” Nissa remarked attempting to keep some form of peace but protecting herself by staying behind Janus. He was right, something was off but she knew neither figure well enough to make such a judgment call.

OoC: (T_T) Please stop fighting... I'd try to defuse the situation, but I feel like I'd be a piece of meat thrown between two hungry wolves...
Richter, understandably angry, was tempted to reveal his assailant as the suspicious man in the bar. Something, however, kept him from doing so. Standing up straight and trying to ignore the pain in his shoulder, Richter lowered his sword, but did not sheath it. "Put your bow down Janus," he said as he motioned with his hand. He made another glance at the hooded man. "It was obviously a misunderstanding. I think he thought I was somebody else." He began to walk backwards over to the tavern door, making sure to keep his eyes on the hooded man. "There's no need for blood to be shed here."

Starting another coughing fit Hiro spoke again. "I never thought you were anybody you attacked me. I have lep...leapo...leperardcy, wait it's prononced Leprosy or so I've been told. I heard it's untreatable so I came to Kraft to seek aid, being so close to St. Elime he has be to able to help, I came to the castle in order to see but was refused due to a break out. I was upset and kicked some dirt.
"That man was near by and I guess it hit him." Pointing at Richter "He drew his sword and charged in, I barely dodged his attack and put that mark on his shoulder." Only time will tell if he could bluff his way out of this.

Richter sighed. There was no way anybody could believe this, could they? "Why would I draw my sword on a leper?" he said to Hiro. "That would be pointless, you'd die on your own soon enough." Richter ran his hand through his hair. "Besides, how would a leper, weakened by disease, be able to dodge my attack? If you really are a leper, take off your mask and show us the sores. If not, leave me in peace." Richter assumed the man would not reveal his mask, so the only other option for Hiro would be to leave.

Janus didn't know quite what to say, this situation was rotten, nothing either of them said was believable in the least. And a fight had broken out, which probably made the shorter man a thief, or Richter a pointless thug. In either event.
"I think we should go, come on." He said to Nissa, grabbing her arm and nodding to Cefia. Julian he didn't really care about, after all he said Richter was his 'friend', so he should be fine.
"There are inns less crowded then this alley has become, and I rather don't care for this." He added, with a bit of a bite in his words.

Julian looked from Richter to the masked man. What Richter said rang true, how could an apparently weak and sick person dodge his attack along with landing a blow on him? Suspicious though he was, Julian didn't want to draw too much attention too them, and there was a crowd gathering already.
"Richter, we don't need this added attention," Julian whispered to his companion. "I understand your concerns, but let's try this another way, okay?" To the masked man he said, "Well then sir, as an apology for my friend here, why don't we escort you to a healer? They may be able to ease your outbreaks so you can try for an audience again."

Richter rubbed his temples. This whole situation was frustrating. "Actually, I think it's time for me to say goodbye." Richter sheathed his sword. There was nothing left for him here. He really hadn't gotten attached to Julian; he refused to get attached to anyone anymore. "I'm just getting in your way, go join up with the shaman and the archer, they don't like me anyways." He turned with his back to Julian, and began walking, not really caring for a drawn out goodbye. He waved his hand and said goodbye.
It was time for him to do something more than hang around with this gang. He left the hooded man and Julian to their own devices.

All this did was swirl a great mass of confusion into the mind of the red haired shaman uncertain what exactly was occurring. One man claimed on thing and the other something else, leperacy would however explain the great amount of coverage… his eyes seemed too alive still for someone who under those robes would literally be falling to pieces. Nissa felt her stomach turn at the very thought, any appetite she was now gone.
Feeling the archer take hold of her arm she nodded her head in agreement, “Of course.” When lead the shaman followed willingly finding her present company the safest place to be. Cefia, while a pirate, seemed to have a bit of a subdued refined nature about her hidden behind the odd accent and axes. Janus had been her protector since she encountered him earlier in the day, his own instincts keeping her from falling into too much trouble she was certain. Moving in small groups was better then alone… much better.
“An inn shall be safer too…” Nissa commented missing the small bite on Janus’s comment, concerned now for their safe arrival to the local inn.

Janus, and then by extension Nissa, moved briskly away from the alley, moving out into the open streets, very close to where Nissa had brought new meaning to the phrase 'bumping into people.'
He looked about to make sure Cefia was still near, as much as she was rough and undignified, she, at the very least, seemed to offer some comfort to Nissa. There weren't moving quickly when they approached one of the many inns, so if Julian wished to follow he could have.
"This doesn't seem like a bad place, at the very least there aren't quite so many ruffians." Janus said, still tense from the earlier situation.

Cefia followed close behind, trying her best to stay out of site and out of mind. She had no idea what was going on and didn't plan to get too involved, she was only going to listen in on things and fight if that was the only option. However since she had a curious nature, it was hard to not ask a very important question...
"What is going on here?!?!" she asked closing in on Janus and Nissa

“I don’t think there are any actually…” Nissa replied gently a hand moving to Janus’s upper arm attempting to ease up his mood a little, the situation hadn’t left him too easy. She couldn’t really blame him honestly from mercenaries interrupting conversations to estrange lepers in the ally. Glancing to Cefia the girl could only give her a blank look, some how she had missed everything that had occurred.
“Don’t worry about it…” The shaman dismissed the subject of what had happened sleep was sounding far too wonderful right now. "For now we can enjoy what is left of the evening."
