Ryu stared at the women gathered around for a long moment, not losing his composure.  He did not completely expect pleasantry from the people who would be trying to defeat him momentarily.  His eyes studied the Drow quickly, dismissing his first impression of her being a fiend almost as fast as it arose.  Armed with vicious weapons and a strong willed expression, he took note of her as 'Extremely Dangerous.'  He then shifted his eyes over to Yuna.  A pretty young lady who had seen her fair share of sorrow, and it was obvious that she had a damn good reason, or at least she thought so, to partake in such a dangerous competition.  It would do him ill to underestimate either of them.<br/><br/>He feared he would be considered rude, and so introduced himself.  "Hello."  He straightened up, gracefully, perfectly.  "I am Ryu Hayabusa.  Leader of the Hayabusa clan."  With beautiful precision and calculated motion, he pulled out the letter and showed it.  "I am here for Dead or Alive."  He finally took off his mask, letting his long brown hair fall down past his shoulders, changing his visage from a deadly shinobi to a more human, and therefore more easily comparable person.<br/><br/>Even without his mask, his face held a grim look.  "What do you all know about the Dead or Alive Tournament?"  With a stern expression he turned to Giselle, then back to Yuna, a look of sincerity in his eyes.  "Whatever information you have is important.  I should be able to tell you all I know about it as well, once we are caught up."  He looked over his shoulder back through the gate.  "However, there may not be a need for that."  He thought of Helena, and worried quickly.  What would she gain from this?
