[It was a little late for a delivery, but it wouldn't be the first time AGI had interdicted a shipment of theirs until it was so late it almost didn't matter any more. So Tifa set down the box she was carrying and stood on her tiptoes to look out the doors peep-hole.

The hell...?]

No offense buddy, but we don't normally open the back door for masked men. It's a policy.

[Jason just cocks his head slightly to the side, arms crossed as he regards that back door and the woman on the other side with amusement.]

Hey, you're the one who offered. At any time.

[He's hoping that's a hint enough for her to indicate his identity.]

[meteor_heart]

[At any time...offered what? What di..oh. She paused for a moment, weighing the risk of it being a trick against the risk of this being someone who wouldn't cause her harm...and as usual, curiosity won out. She popped the deadbolt and pulled the door open, gesturing inside.]

You know, most people who want a drink come in the front door.

I'm not most people. [Jason steps inside the bar, pausing a couple paces in the door. He likes attention from the right people, after all, not everyone in the bar. Part of him is already regretting coming here. It's dangerous to get civilians involved, but he reminds himself that he's doing this for his benefit and he's being careful to keep his own presence quiet.]

And I don't want a drink.

[Tifa closes the door behind him, throwing the deadbolt and stepping off to the side to get a better look at her masked guest. She cocks her head to one side as she studies him, looking quizzical.] No? Then what -do- you want?

[under_thehood]

[Jason just pockets his hands, shrugging casually.] I'm offering protection. [And look at him doing a swell job at it.]

[meteor_heart]

[That gets an eyebrow raised as Tifa folds her arms across her chest.] For Merlotte's? AGI already made this pitch.

PRETEND THESE ICONS ARE IN COSTUME :c

I'm not requiring that you kick up anything but information to me. [More because he'd rather try to earn her as an ally than piss her off.]

OKay! <3

[meteor_heart]

[Gesturing him out of the way, Tifa stepped into a side-hallway where they wouldn't be right in front of the delivery door.] I can take care of myself but...just to be clear, you're offering to protect this place?
