While I'm certainly capable of taking care of any number of troublemakers, I would feel better having someone skilled at my back, or at least in the crowd, as it were.
I may have made an attempt to free prisoners from a similar establishment in the past, back home. It didn't go as planned. While I'm more confident about my approach this time around, I would feel more confident still with assistance.
Think of yourself as a bodyguard, if you must. I'm not generally in the habit of asking for help, so I would pay you handsomely. It's a business transaction, not a favor.
You must have some confidence in your skills as a dancer to warrant a bodyguard on your first day.
[ He's joking!! ]
In any case, it works out seeing as I'm not in the business of doing favors. I can watch your back, but if it's stealth you're looking for, I'd advise you to go elsewhere. Mug like mine leaves an impression.
I could certainly show you, if you have any doubts.
[Is she joking?
(Yes, but definitely with the intent to provoke.)]
I'll only be waitressing. I don't have any intention of going through whatever vetting process they have for potential dancers, and doing so would put Heliodor's greatest treasure as risk.
[Would that mercurial amusement translated well over text.]
I have a feeling that once I find our captives, stealth will no longer be an option. I'm not looking for anonymity, I'm looking for power. I know you can hold your own in a fight.
[She has never been more sorry that she hadn't opted to turn the video on for a conversation. She can only assume that his reaction had been incredibly entertaining.]
Wonderful. Thank you, Mr. Inui. I'll sent the details regarding location and exact time along shortly. I look forward to working together, this time in a capacity we're both better suited for.

[ It's so much easier to seem calm over text. She doesn't need to know he nearly dropped his phone. ]
In that case, this sounds like it's right up my alley. I'll take the job.

Same. I’ll be in touch. Until then, take care, Jade.
