Tetsuo fished some cash out of his pocket to pay for the next drink. "Believe me, I wish I could get out of here before the fun starts. I've got a duty to solve this, if I didn't try I'd be disrespecting Kotetsu. I know that some heavy hitters show up to the White Night, but I'm not going to give up my principles just because I'm scared of losing a fight."

Tetsuo got up from the bar and walked around a little before starting on the next drink. "Well, whoever it is, at least they don't know I'm looking for them yet. I don't keep up with all the mage politics around here, so I'm a bit of an outsider. People from Rokuro tend to be pretty decent, but special events like this can bring a very different crowd. I wonder where those guys hang around." He sat back down at the bar, and drank his second beer slower than the first.
