"Hai," she murmured back, and it was an effort not to place kisses along his jawline but she triumphs in resisting, "-I'd appreciate a chaperone to walk me back to the inn. For my safety, of course."
Ishioka can feel his stomach swimming with alcohol and the sweet nervousness that Narumi gives him.
Thank the kami I stopped when I did. He puts aside the cup that had been clinging to his hand - with some exaggeration, as though it was a snake that might bite him if he wasn't careful - and says, "Nothing matters to me more than your safety." He doesn't say it loudly enough to really carry in the busy room, but for him it isn't a cover story, it's just the truth.
He starts to stand, slowly, mindful of how close to his absolute limit he is on alcohol today. Thankful for the willpower to keep everything together, he straightens and takes a steadying breath. On soldier's instinct, he glances around the room one more time.

Nesshin, whose player is only now returning from sleep and errands, perks up at the mention of the bell thing.
Since it seems drinks have been delivered, he snags one, pulls from it.
If it's going to be that
kind of a party... he thinks.
"I'm glad to hear that things are well," he says, "and that all here are united amicably."
And elsewise?

No touching!
Blushing furiously still, she gets to her feet- wobbly as the room spins- and attempts to steady herself.
When ready, /exit!

For propriety's sake, the Matsu doesn't immediately grab her to steady her. As they leave the bar he stays close - perhaps closer than is entirely proper - but doesn't seem unreasonable for samurai who've had a few drinks. Still entirely kosher behavior.

Should I ask him if that thing she does with her fingernails... no. No, best not chance it.
"I find good company and honest hearts easy to get along with, Shika-san. Seems there's no scarity of that here, hm?"

"We're fortunate in that," Nesshin says, "and I'm glad of it! I'm glad, too, that it's working for you, too!"
And I wonder if something else has worked, he thinks,
maybe something we can all of us try together.
"You're at the Fox while you're here, yes? The innkeeper leave you any presents yet?"

"Not yet. I sleep with my windows open, maybe he thinks I'm capable of getting my own..."

"Even these last few nights?" Nesshin asks. "I expect you've been in the field, as I have, but still..."
He trails off, shakes his head, pulls at his drink again. "Time enough for getting rained on at night when it can't be avoided."

Raizo leaned toward the Deer, vaguely- and professionally.
"Until I got here, I hadn't slept inside of a building since my gempukku. It leaves a mark."

"Huh."
Nesshin shakes his head slightly.
"I guess it would."
He rests his head on tented hands. "If you'd prefer sleeping rough, I know some decent spots in the near forest. There're a few awnings and the like up in the trees that offer pretty good cover."
