Harkens nodded at the answer. He was indeed a second year, if he recalled. To be honest, he might actually have to go to the school a bit more.
"Eh, unless you went for the vitals I'd say that they'll be OK. Trust me on that."

When asked about why he had people coming after him, he turned away and nervously told her,
"Well, it's possible that someone somewhere may not have liked me and put a hit out on my name."

"Yeah, well just to be safe let's call an ambulance or something…" she mumbled. Generally speaking? Fighting wasn't worth it. Even when one won there was usually the whole mess of complications involved. No doubt she could have expected more trouble with those assholes or their friends if she saw them again, for example.

Complications like learning she just intervened in what she assumed to be an organized-crime related killing? Yes, of course that kind of bullshit. Generally speaking saving the world and looking good doing it was more of Kyo's thing, but since she was here, she folded her arms.

"Okay, so I'm going to regret asking this but: Who wants to kill you, and why do they want to have you killed?"

Looking down at a nearby thug, Harkens shrugged and noted,
"I'm sure someone will find them. If they're lucky, it's a good someone not looking for a spare kidney."

He can't exactly say he cared much for the lives of those who tried to kill him. Especially if calling an ambulance meant leaving a lot of complicated questions. Then again, in this city, what counted as complicated questions elsewhere is just a Tuesday night around here.

"Erm, someone with green hair, from what my sources tell me. Not the cute and charming one. The creepy and angry one with the accent and the sword."

Green haired, accent not cute, sword? And most of all? Actually the type of person who would order a hit on a rival?

"Nana Samurakami? That Reki-jo ordered to have you killed? Are you sure?" Her expression was serious, and uncomfortably intense as she stared back at him, even by Hanako's standards.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. This was going to be a bad idea, but she felt she had no other choice:

"If Samuarakami wants you dead? I want you alive and well. I suppose you'll be needing a bodyguard, right? I'll take the job on gratis, but!"
She raised one finger. "I'm only in this until your little deal with Samurakami's done with. I'm not doing this for justice, and I'm not doing this 'cause I like you so much. I have my own reasons. Got it, Harkens?"

"Yeah, yeah, that's the one. Turns out I'm a blip on her radar."

He would have thought that Nana would have seen him as largely insignificant. Then again, it's always a good idea to get rid of complications. If he were the same position, he might have also done such a thing.

Still, upon hearing of her offer to be a bodyguard, he took a moment to think about it.
"Hmm. I can accept those terms and after seeing your credentials, I think you qualify. Consider yourself the Chief Security Officer of Shark Enterprise."

Oh, lord, there's an Enterprise.

"Eh…yeah. Why don't we just call me a Special security consultant instead? That's um…yeah…yeah."

She also added, as she cleaned off her knife. "So, as your new consultant. Let me just say that when you know someone might want to kill you? Going around the backstreets alone is a really dumb idea. Who else do you have working for you? I probably need to go meet them, actually. Sticking around now's probably the worst thing we can do, so let's leave, Harkens."

She just had to remember. She asked for this.

"Well, I think you're qualified enough to choose your position."

Harkens did know that going alone in the backstreets might not have been a great idea. Still, he liked personally seeing what resources the competition had. Gauge them on his own terms rather than using someone like Todou.
"You have a point. I think it's time you met the rest of the team."
