[There's a more or less steady background of ambient noise; measured footsteps on pavement, an occasional soft sound of leather or a metallic jingle, and the general cacophony of the city and its current pest infestation.]

[Those are some interesting sounds.]

Special forces?

[liondormant]

Specialists. Mercenaries.

[niceassassin]

You are very direct. I can appreciate that.

[liondormant]

I just don't like wasting time.

No, there isn't. None that they want us for, anyway. And there tends to be an insistence on letting the local authorities handle street crime.

Fair enough. I'm interested.
