Why? Going to-- [Matoba's response unfortunately cut off, he's instead treated to Bradley swiftly dodging the attacker and making quick work of him; he can join his friend in a heap on the ground. He gives a soft tsk and looks up; the other goons seem to be too busy brawling some other rival punks to have noticed and take issue with a couple of randoms taking out their friends.]

You could make an argument for both. [Matoba tilts his head to assess Bradley. The man seemed as equally a brawler as any of the large, stocky oni, who outsized Matoba easily.] I belong to a rival organization, you see... Not that these brutes are even true Shuten ranks. Just wannabe idiots causing a ruckus.

[Matoba lays a hand on a bundle of cloth tucked under his arm.] I don't come here too often, but the ...equipment that I can procure in this district is of good quality. It's worth the trip.
