"It's her criticism, let her explain," Azzie asked, pulling himself onto a chair. "And before I forget, Vio," he looked over to Hitori, who was lost in his music, "Tori's a friend of mine, and these two are friends of ours."  Violet nodded in agreement. Since the dawn of organized crime, introducing someone as "a friend of ours" was the classic way of indicating that they were aware of the Mob, and that one could speak freely about business with them.

"Okay, then.  I don't like the plan because it runs contrary to everything a good plan normally has." She turned to Iris for a moment, as if sizing her up. "You strike me as a little new to this line of work, but if you go home and look up all of the great cons and swindles throughout history, they all either depend on human stupidity and/or human greed.  That's why you never cheat a honest man, it's a lot harder.  Here, my brother is planning to waltz into Legion's base and lay out a trail of clues to make it look like Lucifer is the enemy.  A plan like that is depending on the hired muscle thinking and acting on the idea.  And betting on human intellgence is risky.  Not like stupidity; no one ever got poor betting on human stupidity."

"Not only that, but there's no way in hell that Luc is going to just sit there and watch everyone turn on him.  He'll either tear holes in the story or just decide to attack Zulie." The magician tensed at his hated nickname, but Violet ignored it. "And I've heard stories about how that guy fights.  Not someone I would solo if I could help it."
