[satoko’s smart. she’s gotta be, if she’s proposing an alliance like this, particularly to three assassins— not a group that’s known for being especially generous with their intel.]
sounds nice and neat to me. but what’s in it for you?
[he’s no good at the business side of the killing game— just the lopping off heads— but he does know people never do shit for free. too bad he can’t run this whole deal by shinobu anymore, she’d know much better what to make of it all.]
Materially? I become exactly aware of when and where to gamble to turn a profit. And that's to say nothing of if we agree to share funds between us.
More importantly, though... I become aware of any below-the-table deals that might be struck. I learn exactly who to approach for any potentially unsavory business. And I stay on good terms with those I am least likely to be able to outsmart or outfight.
I thought as much myself. I'd originally thought I'd challenge him and see, but even I can acknowledge when a battle's already lost. As for Haoyu's loss, it's unfortunate, but it is what it is. The three of us should be more than capable to start, as long as Six can be convinced.
[ and she's more than capable of that, she believes. as for the rest of travis's message- ]
There's a pet shop in the Diamond district. Pawte Couture, I believe it is? Make sure you get the ones without gluten if you go. Miss Jeane's stomach is quite sensitive, you know.

haoyu's missing. he's either dead or gone home, his tag isn't on the net anymore. so that's one down.
i caught one of six's fights in the underground. he's the real deal. if i hadnt felt it, i wouldve seen it. he's good... worth our time for real.
[and a second, not-so-private text:]
