2. {If you despise that throwaway feeling}

[argently]

I suppose the technology here will have to suffice.

[Private; Unhackable]

Though he has been nothing but kind, I feel as if I am imposing on his generosity. A generosity, which is only given due to the fact that he was familiar with my previous… selves.

I doubt my presence there would be easy on him.

I am, in fact, looking to hire a bodyguard. Would you be interested?

Private;

[argently]

...

That would depend on what you have in mind.

There are people in this City who pose a direct threat to me, my position as Warden, and the two children that I care for.

I would require someone who can provide sufficient protection for me and mine when I need it, with two indigo a week. Would that be acceptable?

Private;

[argently]

It is sufficient.

I will be needing more information on these threats though, as well as anyone you suspect may be a threat.

That said, would you like to see a demonstration of what I can do before you decide? I will also have to remind you that there are things or situations that I would not involve myself with.

Private;

[onetruejustice]

I'll hand you a list of them - it's hardly exhaustive, as I suspect that there may be more.

That will be fine. I see; what kind of situations would that be?

Private;

[argently]

For every enemy you know, assume that there are ten more. A person in position is always targeted.

A time and venue then, Mr. Light.

1. As someone who life I will be safeguarding, I expect you to follow my instructions when faced with any situation which I deem dangerous.
2. While I will listen to you, do not expect me to blindly follow everything you say.
3. I will not kill anyone even under orders unless I consider them a threat that needs removing.

Private;

[onetruejustice]

Indeed.

Just Light would do. How would tomorrow evening at Xanadu do?

...I understand, and the terms are agreeable.

Private;

[argently]

Very well. Light it is, then.

I will be waiting for you at the entrance.

Good. I wanted to get that out of the way before we both agree to anything.

Private;

[onetruejustice]

That will be fine.

True; I assure you that I won't make you do anything that's against your principles.

Private;

[argently]

I believe we will get along just fine then, Light.
