Rayne spat out a curse as the archer escaped before he could hit him with more magical fire.  Of course the gradually gathering crowd did nothing to hinder his escape and the last thing the wizard wanted to do was tarnish their reputation by blasting his way through bystanders.  He'd be lying if he said the idea hadn't warranted some measure of consideration however.  Seeing a moment of opportunity, Rayne straightened his posture and spoke in a tone that allowed his voice to carry to the onlookers.  "You saw it here folks, Nelrug caught wind of just how much our casino will cater to all of the best carnal temptations that the prudes deemed it necessary to deny the public an opportunity to experience all the fun it will offer!  Be sure to tell your friends and neighbors, for once our doors open you can rest assured that you may never want to leave the party within!"  The twins couldn't have timed it better if they tried.  No sooner had he finished his little advertisement than the two tantalizing catgirls pressed through the crowd and proceeded to all but throw themselves upon him.   In response, he shot a wide smile towards the crowd as if to say<em>'See what I mean.'</em>through expressions alone.<br/><br/>He turned away from the throng of people, an arm over each twin and began to walk away with a smooth swagger than insisted that such a thing was common within the building.  Rayne mused with a mischievous grin as he considered that the Nelrug assassins very well might have quadrupled their business within the course of a few minutes.  "I assure you, I'm alright.  They hardly pinked me."  He said as Hoozuki and Bonbori both continued to find ways to nurse his injuries.  Though he certainly enjoyed their company, especially in such close proximity.<br/><br/>A sense of relief filled him as he got a chance to look closer at his friends.  Rayne hadn't gotten a chance to see what became of Sasha and Ryoko once they backed into the house.  After the fireball, he was too intent on finishing the survivors to do so.  Fortunately, they seemed bloodied and worn out, but otherwise alright.<br/><br/><em>"What could their purpose of been for attacking us like that?"</em><br/><br/>Rayne couldn't contain the wolfish grin.  "Possibly because they could tell a successful business when they see it.  By the way, I'd like to introduce you to Bonbori and Hoozuki."  He said without gesturing to either of them lest he provokes another debate over who was whom.  "They're the owners of the bathhouse across the street I mentioned just before we were so rudely interrupted."
