[It's a little hard to hear Lumine speaking like there might even be a chance that Aether might be taken again. Silently, Ajax resolves himself to keep this from happening once more, for all their sakes- though he's used to losing people, he knows that if they lost anyone, for the ones left over...will their hearts even be able to take it?
Listening to Aether however, he considers it for a moment. Yeah, that would work, but...]
As powerful as I may be, that kind of thing is easy to trace by experienced hackers and not something easily hid even by our own sources. If you want to do something like that, you'll be looking at the witness protection program...and I don't think you want to involve yourselves with the government on this one. Quite frankly, they'd either think you'd lost your minds or arrest you. Plus that would involve getting some high ranking underground kingpin involved in a court case, and you know how Fontaine has always enjoyed the spectacle of a courtroom.
And no, I will not be that underground kingpin for you, so don't try to suggest it.
[He says, glancing between the two, though it's more aimed at Lumine than Aether. That's something he'd rather stay far, far away from anyhow, because he really needs to be with them and not anywhere near a jail cell, even if that would only last a few hours for him.]
I'm actually banking that they'll assume you'll try to get out of Fontaine anyway. I'm sure they're checking to see if any flights are booked, or if your residences are cleared out. Hiding in almost plain sight sounds better, staying right underneath their noses without them ever knowing. But let's worry about that later, shall we? If we need to move, we can.
[He looks over to Lumine, inspecting her from the chair to see if she feels well enough to continue breaking the crystals to return her power to her.]
Do you think you're ready?
[He says with a little bit of anxiousness. Ajax hates the idea of carrying her life inside of his jacket, and he'd rather return it to her as soon as possible. His focus is only on that, and if he's being honest with himself, he won't be able to think of or do much of anything else until that process is finished.]
