[touya's not surprised shouto sees him upon entering. the kid's been looking for him since he said they could meet up. a shadow among the rest of the bar-goers, he seems to slide and melt between them, though it's obvious some are leaning out of his way. 'dabi' has made somewhat a name and reputation for himself among the lower levels of society. particularly the hunters and bar hops. he can't help the immediate feeling that someone like shouto doesn't belong in a place like this.]
I know.
[and from the shopping trip a long time ago, touya's also aware his little brother has no concept of price per value and can/will get cheated out of his pay by anyone willing to give him half a second's consideration. vien isn't someone who'd be looking out for some little kid either. touya doesn't trust anyone, but he's been in muckhod enough to know the rotating staff.
as soon as shouto slides over an entire vial of blood, well overpaying for even the most expensive quality drinks in this place, touya snatches it from the bar top before vien can get her hands on it.]
Start a tab. We'll pay when we're done.
[that's to vien. much as he doesn't care if shouto blows his payments like an idiot, he's gonna take advantage of that in this case and milk it. touya tilts his head and leave the bar, heading for a booth instead. keeps an eye on shouto to make sure his little brother doesn't have a guilty conscience and try to pay again after touya stopped him.]
