[ oh right, he's supposed to be deciding where to go and not how to potentially cash in on the fact that people are willing to pay that kind of money. ]
Uh—... well, what's good around here?
[ he assumes kate is in this area for a reason, so she probably knows it better. ]
I'd assume it's the best possible cocktail and probably has some authentic ingredient in it like gold dust. Or somethin' magical happens when ya drink it. Your lady wouldn't cut corners on quality, I'm sure.
[ a thin capitalist veneer to maximise a profit is sutoku territory, he'll admit. ]
( She's in the area because this dive bar is here. So finding a location requires a little bit of phone checking, though she spares a second to flash him a brief twitch of her lips, a smirk, at that summation. )
Faction secret. Y'barred.
( Pressing a finger to her lips briefly, Kate flicks through the digital map with her other hand and stops on— )
There's a rock bar around the corner that's good.
( Good ratings, live music. Sounds like a good time to her. )
But at least they seem decided, so it's a quick enough walk to the bar, whose presence is announced more with the sound of deep, reverberating notes from bass guitars than the sight of it, given its hole-in-the-wall, little more than a narrow door and a dark wooden sign, front. The scent of beer and smoke filtering from the crack in the door out onto the street proper. )
Me? Nah, I get too loud a while before I start getting naked.
[ is that reassuring, kate? he grins at her and maybe she can understand why izō threatens to kill him so much.
he's curious about all this unfamiliar nightlife though, since he usually spends a lot of the time he's not drinking at the sort of establishments that have the atmosphere of a tea house or a jazz club, since those are the kinds of places interested in his musical side hustle. this is very different. ]
( Oh, she already understood why Izo threatens to kill him so much.
Dryly; ) Noted.
( Well, it's time to get a different side of music. The band interjects their playing with the usual platitudes of how it's great to be here and what their next song is all about, their newest recording, please buy some copies of their latest EP and so on, and the lull on the music means Kate can quite easily lean in towards Ryouma and speak without having to shout. )

[ ryouma gives her his best attempt at an innocent expression, which is the joke because he wasn't exactly hiding his interest. ]
A 'rock bar', huh?
[ he's not any more picky about music than he is about anything else. ]
Well, I trust they serve decent alcohol, so I'm in.
[ those tosan standards. ]

Keep your clothes on, aye?
