[ Gen hesitates in place for a moment, brow furrowed deep in thought as he considers his option. Honestly, they're lucky he hadn't gotten himself too wasted that night he'd gone drinking with Amos; his sense of direction is pretty good, but the streets here are far more complicated than anything he's used to back home, and he's not sure he would have been able to remember anything if he'd had even a little more to drink. But for better or for worse (hopefully for better), he does remember his way around this area. So after another second or two of ruminating, he gives a vague grunt in response and gestures for Misa to follow him. Not down the street he'd pointed towards, but off down a side-alley towards the seedier parts of town.

Nowhere fancy, but someplace not too crowded. Somewhere he doesn't want to stick out. A threat of violence. -- so if Amos is somewhere here in this district, he's almost certainly in one of those shitty dive bars, either getting himself wasted or maybe venting his stress on whatever hapless drunks might be picking random fights.

Great. ]

Stick close to me. [ Gen doesn't look back as he mutters that comment, almost an order. At least he clarifies it immediately afterward. ] We're headed into the sketchy part of the city, and it'll be a pain if we get caught up in something. We wanna get this done fast and quiet.

[ Read: 'I'm just doing what I have to do to make this task go smoothly.' After all, something tells him Misa doesn't spend a lot of time around the shitty parts of Tokyo, learning how to conduct herself around ne'er-do-well types. He leads the way in silence for a few moments afterwards, before jerking his head towards the block ahead. ]

He said he liked a few of the bars 'round here, they're all on the same block. We can split up to see if he's in any of'em, to start.
