Well then, if she's not interested, then who is he to force her to extend her stint. Still, if after all this she has a change of heart, then who was he to say no.
"Suit yourself. Leave the business part to us and I won't make you deal with stuff outside of this."

Seeing the location that Hanako pointed to, Harkens looked at his watch for a moment before deciding,
"I've got time. How long will this take."

She gave a quizzical look to Harkens when he mentioned he had time. Why would that matter? He was going to sit in his little all-purpose drug lab with his lackeys where it was nice and safe the whole time if she had her way.

And she was just going to say that when she realized. If Harkens was in the habit of making good choices, he probably wouldn't have Yakuza want to murder him in the first place. Instead she just gave a grunt of irritating.

"…as long as it takes for you to change out of that gaudy, attention-grabbing suit learn to not be so conspicuous where we're wandering around where people want to kill you!"

She didn't know enough about aspiring drug cartels to label the whole thing a Mickey Mouse operation or not, all she knew was that watching Harkens was probably going to be like babysitting a lemming.

'Lemmings don't actually-'

'Yeahyeahyeah, I know! I know!'

'Oh, fine, don't get huffy with me. I told you this wasn't such a good idea to begin with…'


"In the future, we're going to talk about the delegation of duties. Like how the target of an assassination attempt shouldn't just be wandering the street in a fact-finding mission that will most likely involve a lot of talking with the same sort of people who tried to kill you?"

Whatever, she had herself a seat and prepared for Harkens to change. She only let him come along because letting him out of her sight now was a mistake, but the suit? Yeah, that suit needed to be burnt.

Harkens gave Hanako a look of confusion as he slowly answered,
"... I mean, I have time to sit here while you do your thing. Wh-what, you thought I was coming with you?"

Maybe he really needed to be careful of what he says. It leads to complications as this.
"Look, next time I'll be more clear. I'll... I'll tell you if I ever feel like stepping in. Which isn't now."

"Oh…"

Well, actually, that was kind of a relief. She'd clearly have to show Harkens some techniques for not getting horribly killed in the foreseeable future. The fact that he was taking her advice seriously as his new bodyguard was encouraging, though!

"Well, if that will be all? I'll keep in touch. Be back as soon as possible."

It was not going to be as simple as she thought. That was for sure. But perhaps she was also worried unduly that she was the only one taking it seriously?

Something to think about as she went out the door.
