"Fascinating," Azulius closed his eyes, trying to visualize the scene and what maneuvers he would use. "If I had to wager a guess, she either got it from you as you sat down with a Robbins slide, while you were distracted using a variant of the Kermit-Johnson Palm, or just as you got up with a Malebolge Snap.  Either way, she's either very good or very cocky.  Course, Blackstone would have lifted it from you from the other side of the airship, and you never would have noticed his presence, but I'm still not convinced he's fully human."

"Your confidence in my abilities is heartwarming, Azulius," said a somber-looking man in a black suit who certainly was not in the chair next to Stahlfritz a second ago.

"NGAAAHHH!" Azulius half-shouted as he jumped two meters in the air, then landed with his knuckledusters already attached. "For gods sakes, man!  Ya're gonna give me a heart condition at thirty, if ya keep this up!"

"If you devoted more energy to analyzing your environment, rather than lamenting how others fail to analyze their environments, the damage to your heart would be easily mitigated," the man sipped from his tea cup, as if appearing from nowhere was a common occurence to him.

"Okay, this new kid.  I like him already.  Wait, those were suicide bombers?" Trigo uttered in shock. One of the benefits of Mob work is that men willing to die for their employers were few and far between. "That changes things.  I could maybe take them on, but I would very much prefer some backup." As if granting his hypothetical wish, Fritz and Azzie flew onto camera with their transport and proceeded to deal some more damage to the mob.

"Like them, perhaps.  I would feel perfectly safe there with those two watching my back."
