Heh, [he laughs, thinking on whether or not they'd even take any compensation. What could she possibly give to them that would matter to a man who can have anything he wants with no restraint?]
Sure, if my father would even accept such a thing. It's as I said, the Dufont family has been a thorn in our side for a long time. Do you remember the USB I had Aether make for me? That was tracking and location data so we could find their men who had been main culprits in the deaths of some of our own. They've been killing our guys long before you and Aether ever had to get involved. The data helped us keep innocent civilians out of the picture. I'd always wondered how they'd managed to pull off some of the hits they did on us. Now I know why.
[Ajax gives her an apologetic look- he's sure it's not information that she wants to hear, given the nature of the dark side of his family. But he feels that it's a necessary explanation. It bothers him that this whole time, they'd been facing off against gods backing their enemies. Everything was starting to fall into place, making more sense.]
But, the point is that my father has finally lost his patience with them after what happened in Inazuma and again with your brother's kidnapping. He's a very patient man, so I was a little surprised that he didn't leave it all to Tatiana. To him, this has become more personal than he's willing to sit by and let others handle it for. Hah, if anything, I wouldn't be surprised if he offers you more aid than what I've provided so far. So don't worry about it. He's looking out for you, too.
[Ajax lets his hand fall from her back to give her arm a squeeze, before he begins eating his breakfast again. He's not sure how hungry he really is either anymore, but he forces himself to eat.]
