Onikuma took the glass from Alister, and sat with him next to the fireplace.
"I've never actually been to Japan, but I guess you could say that's as close to my home as someone could get.." He says, trying to speak at a more normal pace than he had been. Taking a sip of the brandy, he continues. "As for what brings me here and what I'm looking for.. I don't really know.. Everythings been happening really fast. All I've ever done with my life is fight, but it seems that there's not much of that to do here. I don't really have any other 'marketable' skills." He says, trying to come up with the right words.

Alister smiled. "Never sell yourself short Kyu. Especially in this city. People will take advantage of you in this city. Never let them. Demand the respect you deserve." Alister said in a matter of fact tone.
He finished the last swallow of his drink and got up and put the empty glass on the buffet. Just then the Butler came in with a large platter and set it down on the table. He then dished it out on two plates. "Ah dinner is served. Hope you like Prime Rib." he smiled and sat down at his seat.
As he started to eat he looked over at Kyu and thought to himself, I need to see this kid in action. "My boy, please, stay as long as you would like. At least until you figure out what it is you want to do. If you don't like charity, I could always use someone with skills by my side. Again, at least until you figure out what it is you wish to do with your time here."

Onikuma looked up at Alister "I would prefer to work for my keep- but I don't sense you need a bodyguard. I can see you're quite a powerful individual." He says, starting to pick into his food. "But if you need any problems taken care of- my favorite way to improve my skills is to test them in combat." Onikuma says, smiling faintly.
He had always been the type looking for a fight, and mostly saw himself as a weapon waiting to be pointed at an enemy. Onikuma knew there were plenty of beings of considerable power in this city, and was always looking to test himself. Maybe Alister could help with that, he thought

Alister smiled. "Perception is everything my young friend. You see me as power cause that is how I portray myself. Yet you know nothing of me. Learn that skill and you can do anything you want in this world." he said then took a bite, washing it down with a nice merlot.
They continued to eat and once they were finished, Alister leaned back in his chair. "A bodyguard is just what I need to be exact. If I need to handle myself I can, but I prefer to leave that to those who excel in that area. So you start tomorrow, if that works for you? I have a 10am at the docks with some German competitors who are trying to push me out. I need to remind them that the only reason they are here is cause I allow it."

Onikuma smiles at what he's being told. "Sounds perfect. It's not like I'm doing anything else." He says, mirroring Alister by also leaning back in his chair and taking a drink of the merlot. "Oh, and that reminds me- I was taught and became proficient in every known language at my academy. If you ever need a translator when dealing with foreigners.." He adds, always forgetting to mention that skill, as he doesn't see it as very useful in combat.

"Fluent in language and combat, and you say you don't have any marketable skills? You are a very skilled young man and I look forward to having you by my side." he said with a smile.
Alister finished his glass of wine and then stood up. "Make yourself at home young Kyu. There is a gym down stairs if you feel a need. Take advantage of the complete facility and if you need anything at all, let Bastion know. He is my butler. He is now your butler as well. Good night." he said, extending his hand.

Onikuma reached out and shook Alister's hand. "Thank you for everything so far. I think I will retire to the gym, now that you mention it. When should I find you in the morning?"

"We'll leave here about 9:30am. I'll knock on your door when I'm ready. Sleep well and I will see you in the morning." he says as he walks off.
