[Or so he thought indeed. A dark shadow will then suddenly drop down right in front of Katsura. The glint of metal from a blade resting on the man's shoulder is unmistakable as Yuri smirks.]

Little late for a stroll, isn't it?

[ There's usually nothing promising about being addressed like this in a dark alleyway, just out of a secret mission or not. Katsura's hand etches towards his grenades instinctively, but he's not actually taking it nor making any threatening movements just yet. ]

[ Instead, he stares at the new person (a spy, this has to be an Equalist spy, right?) as if he was one of those trench-coat thugs, and looks like the embodiment of proper. ]

My apologies, I do not wish to purchase a watch.

[Yuri's smug expression doesn't waver as he taps his sword on his shoulder.]

You sure? I think I might have something you're interested in.

[He then holds up the note that was left behind. Suggesting he might have done something to the bomb too.]

All Equalists should die, huh?

...bastard.

[ HE WORKED HARD ON THAT BOMB, ALRIGHT. There were supposed to be no survivors! Still, it's not too late for that now. ]

[ Eyes narrowing, he draws his sword -- no bending, still, isn't that puzzling? -- and dang, he's fast. ]

[That is puzzling, and it doesn't go without notice. Yuri had been expecting some sort of bending, but he's fast too, and his sword clashes with Katsura's.]

You're pretty angry for a non-bender.

Ah. You think every non-bender would support you, is that it?

[ Not that he's really a non-bender, but he's got nothing to lose and everything to gain by not correcting that mistake. The anti-bending organizations had surely gotten confident. ]

[ He tilts the blade, trying to turn it into a jab, and kicks at the guy while at it. ]

Whoa, hey!

[Yuri dodges the jab, but takes the kick to his side. But not without aiming a punch back at the guy.]

Actually, I'm not with them.

[ He staggers a little from the punch, but pauses. The guy is most probably lying, but why? Maybe he's trying to get him off guard? Still, it would be pretty dumb of them to expect they'd get to infiltrate the Triads like this. So what the hell? ]

So what, you're the kind of asshole who messes with other people's business just because he can or has nothing better to do? Maybe you should find a job. You know, a real one.

[When he pauses, Yuri takes a step back and casually flips his sword before returning it to his shoulder. Though Yuri looks to be relaxed, he's still watching the guy like a hawk in case he decides to attack again.]

Yeah, something like that. I've been watching these guys for awhile.

[ Katsura keeps his sword out and his gaze on the stranger, but he seems calm for now. ]

Why?

[Yuri just shrugs.]

I dunno. Guess I'm just curious.

[Yeah he's definitely full of BS.]

[ SO VERY UNAMUSED. ]

What did you do?

[ Please tell him you didn't touch the bomb. ]

[SO VERY AMUSED.]

I took out that little toy of yours. Looked kinda dangerous.

[ Well then. ]

[ SAY HELLO TO THE SWORD POINTING AT YOUR THROAT? ]

[ See, he's kind of a terrorist. So it doesn't matter whether or not you're actually with the enemy; if you get in his way, you must go down. ]

[And there it is. Yuri sees it coming and brings his sword down to either knock it out of the guy's hand or away just enough to duck out of reach.

But Yuri can't turn down a good fight, so he doesn't run. Instead he stands his ground and takes a stance.]

Come on!

[ He manages not to let go of it, but the parry leaves him in an awkward position - wide open, even if the other guy seems to be... standing still? Was he some kind of friggin duelist? This wasn't how things worked in the real world. ]

[ With his free hand, he throws a smoke grenade, covering them in a cloud of dust, and then drops an actual one pretty immediately, ducking and rolling behind a trashcan. ]

[ It will go off after a small beep. ]

[Maybe he's just playing with Katsura. Or maybe he's got something else in mind. You never know.

Yuri raises an arm to his face as the smoke grenade goes off, completely covering him in smoke. And then the blast happens.

But when the smoke clears, he's no where to be found. Then in the next moment there's the wail of a siren as the police suddenly pull up. The explosion having alerted them to Katsura's position.

Looks like you've been had.]

[ Fucking -- ]

[ A covert cop, then. Brilliant. ]

[ Still too bad he didn't end up a corpse. ]

[ A few more smoke grenades and some slippery icebending allows him to escape, but it's still an unnecessary hassle and he almost gets skewered by some pieces of metal coming alive. ]

[ He'll just have to keep that guy in mind. ]
