Run walks gracefully toward the Wild Hunt headquarters, ready to find his target. Pushing the door open with a gentle shove, he offers a friendly smile to anyone present.
Run: Good evening. Sorry if I'm interrupting.
He quickly scans the common room, noticing that the only people present are Enshin, lounging on the sofa with a glass of whiskey; Cosmina, sitting in a chair while sewing a piece of clothing; and Jake, seated farther back in an armchair, reading a history book.
The blond man feels a surge of anger upon spotting the bounty hunter, but manages to hide it behind his smile.
Run: I thought I'd stop by to say hello.
Cosmina: Oh, it's the blond guy from the Jaegers! — She smiles, waving at him. — It's a pleasure to see you here!
Enshin: Yeah, yeah, whatever. — He says with little interest, taking a sip of his whiskey. — Welcome to our humble abode.
Cosmina approaches him with a friendly expression, holding the garment she had been sewing.
Cosmina: I'm planning to put on a grand performance when we find the Night Raid! It'd be wonderful to have a nice guy like you in the audience!
Run: If I ever join the Wild Hunt, you can be sure I'll be there. — He replies with a feigned smile.
Enshin: ...No chance. — He comments in a noticeably jealous tone while continuing to sip his drink.
Run adjusts his collar, looking around.
Run: By the way, where is everyone else?
Cosmina: They're with Syura. He got into a fight and got hurt.
The Jaeger gives a subtle smile at the information.
Run (thinking): So not only is Syura out, but half of his subordinates are with him. Things are going even better than I expected.
With his hands in his pockets, he casually walks over to Jake.
Run: Hello, Mr. Giftig. I'd like to discuss some business with you.
Jake: Hm? — He lowers his book and looks at Run curiously. — And what kind of business would that be?
Run: Let's step outside. It would be better if we could talk somewhere more private.
The man with the hat and mustache raises an eyebrow suspiciously.
[Ten seconds later; on a side street in the Capital]
[Insert this soundtrack: The Plan — Taku Iwasaki]
Run walked down the road ahead, leading Jake, who followed behind him. The blond man explained his "request" to the Wild Hunt marksman.
Jake: Ah... So you want me to kill these people who are plotting against your little group? — He reflects on the Jaeger's proposal with interest.
Run: That's right. Your companions said you're very competent at your job. I don't think anyone would be better suited than you to handle this. — Esdeath's subordinate replies, doing his best to maintain his cheerful façade.
