2. {If you despise that throwaway feeling}

[argently]

I suppose the technology here will have to suffice.

[Private; Unhackable]

Though he has been nothing but kind, I feel as if I am imposing on his generosity. A generosity, which is only given due to the fact that he was familiar with my previous… selves.

I doubt my presence there would be easy on him.

[onetruejustice]

I am, in fact, looking to hire a bodyguard. Would you be interested?

Private;

[argently]

...

That would depend on what you have in mind.

Private;

[onetruejustice]

There are people in this City who pose a direct threat to me, my position as Warden, and the two children that I care for.

I would require someone who can provide sufficient protection for me and mine when I need it, with two indigo a week. Would that be acceptable?

Private;

[argently]

It is sufficient.

I will be needing more information on these threats though, as well as anyone you suspect may be a threat.

That said, would you like to see a demonstration of what I can do before you decide? I will also have to remind you that there are things or situations that I would not involve myself with.

I think that if I cannot use my abilities here, I may require the services of a guard in the near future. If I am able to resume my business in entertainment, that is.

Private

[argently]

If you are interested, we could discuss it now. But I will have to tell you in advance that if it by any chance clashes with my employer's schedule, I would have to decline.

[ Private || Sephiroth ]

[elegantorchid]

... A-ah. Forgive me, Sephiroth-san... Ranmaru didn't mean to not concentrate. It just felt like old times...

But what job has Sephiroth-san decided on?

[ Private || Ranmaru ]

[argently]

You need not apologize to me, Ranmaru. If you are distracted, we could always reschedule it.

I have decided to try what you suggested to me the other day.

[ Private || Ranmaru ]

[elegantorchid]

Mmm. No, no... next time, Ranmaru will not disappoint.

But... ah! You will be a bodyguard now?

[ Private || Ranmaru ]

[argently]

I look forward to our next spar then.

Yes, to a Light Yagami. Do you know him?

[cloudedbystrife]

...........It's hard to believe that you're back to what you used to be.

...Bodyguard?

[argently]

Yes, becoming a mercenary would be another choice, but I would rather not fight other people's battles for them.

[cloudedbystrife]

............Yeah.

[obscurae]

... so we are in the same line of work now.

[argently]

It is far better than to utilise our skills for other people's benefits.

[Translation: I am not doing your killing for you.]

[obscurae]

Unfortunately so, over here. There isn't much one can do except protect people that need it. Killing isn't exactly much of a threat anymore.

Hard to imagine that the great General Sephiroth has to be reduced to serving as a bodyguard for someone other than that incompetent President Shinra, though.

[argently]

There are things that are worse than death.

You sound like you do not approve of my choice.
