[It's nice to hear that his convictions are enough to give her some semblance of security, but it's not enough for Ajax. He already had enough to worry about with his own job possibly discovering their secret and coming after them themselves. But now, someone else is threatening Yoimiya's life...and he can't even begin to fathom who. He can't deny that they probably were being watched by someone, probably from the start.]

No. They haven't been watching us for a good while, they've been watching us the entire time and have kept tabs on me even before we met. We've only known each other for a few weeks, and been together here for a few days. We have to assume they know everything about us until proven otherwise.

[And that's bad. Real bad.]

The only good part about it is that they don't sound like they want us to be subject to Nizhnii...they'd rather do it themselves, which means it's likely they won't tell anyone about us if they know we've suddenly sprouted special marks. But we don't know exactly what they want.

[His eyes are still raging with a fire behind them, even as he works out the details in his head. Going through every possibility, arriving at the worst solutions...that's Ajax.]

I don't like this...
