[Kenkuroi Mithania]

Tony laughed.

Sakura seemed expressionless though Kenkuroi sensed that she was really on the edge of agitation, whether because of that Tony guy or him, he can't quite tell.

Jack was... well Jack was a monkey...

As for the half elf, a deep frown etched on his youthful features as the conversation got weirder and weirder. Was Tony hinting that he and Sak were an item? And did he mention about rooms back at The Tattered Sails?

"I thought you said there were no rooms back at ..." Ken turned to Sakura but never got to finish his sentence as his attention shifted towards the presence of the other five men he never noticed, finally revealing themselves while the ugly man continued his rather interesting taunts.

"Male dancer? Topless?" the half elf queried, eyebrows raised, looking slightly amused before things got uglier. It was only until the men started circling them and Tony mentioning about the money pouch that the youth realized the situation there were in.... that they were about to get mugged....

Kenkuroi could feel the color drain from his face as he took a step away from the nasty man, his hand unconsiously reaching for his pockets. Having simple tastes or more like being just a slacker, he had not bothered with coin pouches, money bag, purses or any special containers of the like. All his money was stuffed down his pockets and since they don't jingle much, it meant either he was broke or he was loaded with paper money, which meant big sums..... well a considerable sum.

"Feth you! I'm not giving you money! I gotta smoke!" the hot tempered youth yelled in anger, one hand in his pocket clutching the crown notes tightly, the other still holding the cigarette.

"Sakura! Do something!" Kenkuroi yelled at his female companion, expecting her to do the same feat as his mother could do but instead Sak was getting her hair grabbed, slapped to the point of nearly bumping into him..... well, she had the guts to punch the man back but it was becoming apparent.... she was not Shouten Hanakimi and Kenkuroi was beginning to learn; not all women were like his mom.

The half elf was torn.

Part of him was afraid, part of him wanted to run away as fast as possible, far away from these thieves, but part of him was also angry, angry at these men, angry at Sakura for being helpless, angry at himself for being afraid, while part of him was still in disbelief, that this had to happened, that Sakura seemed to be overpowered..... and this time, there was no mommy to get his ass out of trouble.

Wrestling with his emotions and not knowing what to do, Ken appeared to have freeze in shock, not moving, not listening and not responding until just when the two brutes were within his reach, he shouted, "You want money? HERE!"

With that phrase, he pulled out the handful of crown notes he was clutching, three or four 50 crown notes plus a few gold crowns and threw it at Tony. But the reckless, temperamental half elf refused to just end it there. In quick succession, not caring if he had those greedy pigs distracted by flying money, he followed the move with an attempted punch towards Tony's nose....
