Raven listened to the stranger as he told him of his foreign weapons and strange plate mail amour, how could you produce exquisite swordsmanship with amour like that Raven thought to himself, after he had finished he had once again asked him about his own weapons to which he replied
"My weapons are.. how can you say it... special, i personally made my sword but my shuriken found me and drew me towards it to which it then connected to me and has become a part of me but that's all i can divulge at this moment because i am on an important quest and i don't have the time to chat."
"I was after some information but my informant seems to have fled while i was distracted with those guards and now i have to chase him down, and thanks to you delaying me he will have got further away now so if you will excuse me i must be on my way"
With that he walked for the back room full well knowing that the bar tender would have fled through the back door to escape his questioning, but just as Raven went to walk around the bar a dark and tall figure emerged in the door way of the inn.
Raven stopped and turned to inspect the new stranger.
"Ah that is one of Nobunaga's retainers" said Shadow in thought speak.
Raven cocked his head towards Shadow "How do you know this my friend"
"See what he wears, imperial military attire, it shows his ranking in Nobunagas army it means he is high up and see there he is flanked by his gaurds which means he has too be a retainer"
That was enough information for Raven he turned slowly not to attract to much attention and strode slowly towards the warrior, in response the two guards jumped forward and blocked his path towards the warrior.
" How dare you approach the lord, halt right where you are do not come any closer" said one of the tensed guards.
"Bow before my lord now you insolent fool" the other guard demanded
Raven purposefully kept up his slow pace towards the guards and noticed they they were getting very tense to his approach.
"I am deeply apologetic for my insolence how shall i address the lord" Raven asked sarcastically.
"You will address him as Lord Tenako you commoner now bow"
'I prefer to stand" Raven answered all the while Lord Tenako stood calmly watching the commotion with a smug smile on his face.
"So you are one of Nobunagas retainers are you?" Raven demanded of Lord Tenako.
"Of cours.." one of the guards started before Raven cut him off.
"What your Lord can not speak for himself?"
Raven rested his hand on the hilt of sword waiting for Lord Tenako's answer.
