[Unlike Break's last broadcast, this one seems very deliberate. He has set the Forge on a steady surface and is sitting on a futon with one leg crossed over the other. His doll Emily is perches happily on his shoulder. In fact, the cinematography would be perfect if Break wasn't sitting just a bit too far to the left, so that one arm and a bit of

It's a business where people can hire us to solve crimes. Or stop crimes that haven't actually happened yet. It's a bit more private than going to the police, you see?
[He says "the police" instead of "the Patrol," but... he does have the Patrol in mind.]

It doesn't have to be crimes in question, either. Sometimes people just want a bit more... security, you know?
[He's really not sure if she understands this at all, and of course the notion that an operation so obviously ridiculous could provide anyone with a measure of added security is absurd... which is exactly what he's aiming for.]

[She gives that a moment's thought...]
You're gonna be a bodyguard, Xerbie?

Weeeelll~! I certainly think you could be useful...
[She clearly knows all of Anatole in and out, but he's also not sure he wants to put her in legitimate danger, assuming here is any.]
Perhaps I'll have to consider you for special espionage missions!

Espionage! That's like sneaking around and getting into places I'm not supposed to be, right Xerbie?
[Biggest most mischievous grin ever. So much so that he's even sure to hear it.]
I'm really good at that! Just ask Byakushi!

[Excellent, he's glad she seems to like the sound of that. Of course, talking about espionage on a public network might be a bit counterproductive, but he doesn't expect most people to take him seriously. Except someone who's essentially eight years old.]
