'I hate to ask this of you, but I have this friend who is a bit of a loud mouth when he's drunk...' he started. Aki shuffled awkwardly and waited for more details. The man went onto explain how this certain Mitya character always turned up at the bar on busy evenings and created some sort of a spectacle. Aki listened carefully as the poor man explained that he didn't really mind it all that much, but patrons were quite disturbed and he'd lost some loyal clients.
Only when the rugged man added that Mitya owned the bar across the street, did Akira's sceptical side start suspecting foul play. This sort of a strategy probably truly needed the intervention of a Rune Knight... However, she kept her reservations to herself, and nodded slowly. She flopped onto a bar chair and explained the situation to her partner.
