“Alright,” you shrugged, “Good for them. Why should I be concerned?”
Mathilda tilted her chin up. With how much shorter she was than you, it must have been a developed skill to still look like she thought she lorded over you, regardless of how well it worked for her. “Not all of them have chosen to break cleanly, as it turns out. Some of our new friends told us that <span class="mu-i">their</span> friends, as well as deep cover former Komissariat Office operatives, have elected to pounce at the first chance they can for petty revenge. Unreasonable, but alas. This has been given to the Intelligence Office, of course, in what capacity we can manage, but if I were you I would be wary of anybody who might know of you or your Magnus Edelschwert from your time reinstalling the present Netillian Republic.”
…Great. As if you didn’t have enough to worry about. “So gunmen, then.”
“Not quite,” Mathilda said, “They’re not very heavily armed, or so we’ve been told, and they hardly want to attract the attention of the Intelligence Office. They’ll like as not present themselves as common gangsters or street toughs, suspiciously aged youth gangs and the like. But a knife or a length of pipe does the job of a machine pistol if underestimated, so I hear.”
“Right.” Didn’t even have time to tense up before you could relax again. Street toughs. Just normal life in Sosaldt, or in Occupied Ellowian UGZs. You could win in fights like that, especially since you’d probably be better equipped. You would just have to not let your guard down at the wrong time. “So. That reward.”
Mathilda blinked. “You’re not concerned?”
“Nah. I already have enough to think about without little distractions like that. Just get your stuff to my mitts good an’ quick.”
>You knew the Von Blums made tanks. How about one of those? Three was enough for a toon all of your own…
>Your wardrobe was a bit lacking. How about some fancy wear, suitable for your knightly company?
>Well. There were things you knew that Mathilda could do, and you didn’t know how to, that you were sure men appreciated a lot, you know? You don’t know, but she did, and…you know?
>Other?
