[A hostage situation, then. Ajax wrinkles his nose, it's not like they haven't dealt with this before, especially from this crime family. But what to expect now that they have a divine backing is unclear. The only consolation here is that he's familiar with their tactics.]
Okay. We should be able to get them out unharmed, but hear me out. We've dealt with the Dufonts before in this capacity, and they have a penchant for laying out a trap for the ones they're trying to ensnare. It's sort of their MO.
[He doesn't feel the need to remind her about how she'd been captured at the warehouse- she probably fell right into said trap.]
So we need to stick together and watch each other's backs. They're going to want to get the jump on us, and we can't let that happen. They've got a lot more power now- and who knows what kind of strange magic they wield. Plus, there could always be another god waiting for us.
[His voice lowers, anger lining it. He blames Celestia for all this, if it weren't for them, the worst thing Lumine and himself would have to worry about would have been figuring out their strange shared visions.]
But in the meantime, let's get the jump on them instead. A surprise attack coming at them right through their front door sounds more than satisfying. All we'll have to do is make sure we take care of any one before they can shoot us or raise the alarm. Follow me.
[Ajax moves, sneaking quietly down the hall towards a room that he can clearly hear voices coming out from behind the door. He holds up his hand, trying to gauge how many people are in there and if the hostages are in there nor not. He can hear laughter and a soft thud of someone hitting someone else, presumably one of Lumine's employees getting socked in the stomach.
He nods to her, ready to open the door to take out the goons inside. The moment she gives the okay, he opens the door to go in and take care of business.]
