[color=crimson]". . . Very well then."[/color]

Standing in the street about 40 feet away, he pulls out a flip phone, whips it open with a negligent motion, and presses a button.

[color=crimson]"Moshi moshi! Hey, hate to bother you at this time, I know you're busy. Could you stop all the traffic going into... say, four blocks around the Torigoya onsen? things may be getting a little loud. . . . sure, lovely. Tell Omi for me, yeah?"[/color]

He then punches in another number, and smiles slightly.

[color=crimson] "Heyyyyy, Mura, my love! Sorry to drag you into this, but we're both suffering tonight. One of your clients is bleeding in the onsen, and is also a Slayer who's a mass murderer of humans. You'll know the one, she smells like a buffet. Also, I'm going to be making your street a mess, sorry. Some bravatic yee-haw decided to follow his heart over orders, morals, and common sense. you know the type. Much love to you and your guest! I'll be getting you chocolates for this, don't you worry. The good kind from Amsterdam... Puccini, I believe? Anyways, time to pack up yet another hashira, you know the feeling."[/color]

As soon as he hangs up, the teasing tone falls out of his voice like it was a bird hit by a thrown brick. He calmly flips the phone closed, and puts it in his pants pocket.

In two heavily practiced movements, the nodachi comes flying out of it's sheath and into a low guard, the bade resting behind his body. This is also the moment anyone watching realizes that Keodis has one more trick up his sleeve. He's a Southpaw, or Left-Handed. Every motion or parry will be mirrored form where it's "supposed" to be.

[color=crimson]"If you are willing to bear the castigation of the Kyoto Branch, and protect a mass murderer of innocents, then I will oblige you."[/color]

From fourty feet away to four in the blink of an eye, the tip of the enormous blade flickers out like a tongue of fire. It starts from behind Keodis' left hip, swings up and around during the movement, and end at the position of the right shoulder, swinging inwards across Kousai's body, directly in the sweet spot where Keodis' own body is far out of reach. In one modification, Keodis has changed a primarily defensive movement of the original Flame Breathing into an aggressive gap-closer. 
Following through, he touches the ground with a single step before launching himself upwards to see the two hashira's reaction. Maybe... just maybe that ever-so-interesting fist fighter taught a protoge. The way the fellow dragon appreciator was moving his hands... hopefully he could test himself against Soyama's technique again.
