@smilingmagus liked for a starter!
“Seems a little late for anyone to be out and about.” The Assassin was on guard duty, for lack of a better phrase, and his rather sharpened senses seemed to hone in on the woman his words were directed to. And if he was off the mark well there were worse things to be seen as than just some creep looking for company.

“Glad you agree! I got some o’the good stuff stashed away for these occasions. Should we invite the doc too?”

backblade:
“Is that so?” he pushes some of his meager change across the counter to pay for the noodles he had just finished. His stomach begged for a second serving, but he had to ration what money he still had.
His voice is calm and even as he picks himself up from the stool and, in a subconscious act, makes sure sakabatou is safe at his side. Kenshin knew it was a matter of time until someone whom he had shared the shadowy streets of Kyoto with happened upon him.
“Ahh,” a simple response to the other (ex?) Hittokiri’s offer. A drink sounded nice especially when the past had thrust itself upon him so suddenly. There is a bar close by, he had seen the sign for it earilier and ducks inside.
“This one hope’s this new era finds you well?” almost empty pleasantries. They understood each other perhaps in a way most didn’t, knowing the weight of an assassin’s blade in ones hands.
“Being officially dead has a few perks,” Izou said with a dark laugh after ducking into the bar as well. Unlike his fellow assassin, Izou was unarmed at least for the moment. “But for the most part, I find myself as well as ever.”
Izou was supposed to be dead and according to most official records was. He was enjoying the freedom that gave him, certainly, but he was still always wary. Wary of the day someone would come calling for him to kill again.
“But it’s not all rosy for either of us is it?” The question came moments after he ordered their drinks, clearly intent on paying for their drinks himself. “I’m just...not sure what to do anymore, I think.”

@backblade wants a starter!
“Fancy meetin you again,” Izou said with a smirk. “What’s say we finally get that drink, eh? Maybe reminisce a bit.”
It was something of a jest on his part. Izou doubted either of them wanted to dwell on those days for too long. But maybe he was just trying to be friendly with the only person around he could connect with on any level.

Just some thought dumping here on this walking disaster of a man in a straw hat:
Pride is an endemic quality for Izou overall. It can be both a strength of his in that it gives him the confidence to take on any challenge and usually win through his sheer adaptability and it is also a weakness in that he looks down on other fighters as a default and can push to his limit too quick with an opponent of equal skill. At times he just needs a sharp reminder of the dangers of his own pride (see his defeat at the hands of Li Shuwen in GudaGuda3 as a perfect example).
Speaking of adaptability that is also important to understand about Izou. Thanks to his skill “One With the Sword, Swift and Nimble as a Falcon,” he has access to a broad range of memorized sword schools. This means that he can adapt his fighting style and stance on the fly in the middle of a fight to either counter his opponent or just shake them up. Sure he doesn’t know any secret arts from any school but his raw skill his often more than enough to take on any opponent and come out on top baring say the top swordsmen of the Shinsengumi like Okita and Saito. But often times he simply overwhelms his opponent through the sheer size of his mental arsenal of sword skills.
He pushes people away on reflex. The only exceptions to this are Sakamoto and Oryu. He will rage and shout about how his life ended thanks to Ryoma but at the end of the day…he’s realistically still the only real friend Izou can remember having. The only guy, along with Oryu, who can see right through all of Izou’s bluster straight into his heart of hearts. It is likely the only other person Izou would develop any sort of relationship with like that would be his Master.

“ don’t do anything stupid. ”
“Please, I don’t make mistakes like that! I said I’m gonna do it and I am! I’m the sword prodigy, remember? I can’t be beat!”
Such confidence was normal for Izou. It was a confidence, though, born of earned experience. Years spent going from dojo to dojo learning the styles so easily and even besting the more experienced students. Everything so easy for him when it came to the sword even when his own life was on the line.
Working with Okita had been frustrating at first but Izou had developed something a respect for her skill, something that could not be denied. So while he snarked to her, the manslayer did appreciate her concern.

backblade:
“this one can hope it will.” he mutters, turning away, he can’t see him. It causes to many memories to flood his head.
He holds his sword in fist, teeth clenching a bit. the kit this guy was giving off was far from an inviting one.
“Can this one help you?”
“No need to get tense,” Izou said after raising his hands in a non-threatening gesture. His lazy smile was still in place.
“I just wanna get a drink. Or somethin. Just to talk.”
