Summary; Clow takes Harry out on a "date" and it becomes a contest to see who can pretend to be more drunk and act like more of a failure to make the other guy underestimate him.
Log;
Unpredictability is an important part of strategy. If your opponent doesn't know what to expect of you, he won't know how to defend or counterstrike until it's too late. Hence, while there is not an unlimited number of strategies to try in any given situation, and especially not ones that will work, it is generally a good idea not to use the same one more than once in quick succession no matter how well it worked the first time.
... Unless you are making a conscious effort to look like an idiot.
This would be the third time that Clow had pulled the 'not-so-coincidentally meeting someone at a random place' trick, although the Master had no reason to know about the first two. This time, however, Clow employed neither the shock value of showing up on the Time Lord's doorstep nor the brazen disregard of getting "caught" drinking some place sacred to him. The fact that he couldn't do either of those things this time was irrellevant - it was in this case to Clow's benefit, anyway.
Thus, it was on a seemingly random street near an alleyway that Clow waited patiently for his date to show - and he would show, just any second now...
