As I set more of the explosives up, Lady Rexikat walked in and walked over to Ximh. I didn't move for a split second and the continued setting things up. Work was something that I couldn't outright part with....I just listened to the conversation.
"This isn't going to work," Lady Rexikat said quietly to Ximh. I closed my eyes and heightened the liquid in my ears, so I could hear the distorted tones better. "It's just...I feel like he's underestimating them. Organization Zero is cunning. Throwing a couple bombs at them isn't going to finish them. Sure, they'll have to find a new HQ, but what else?"
"I guess that's where we come in, right? Whoever survives the bomb dies by our hand." Ximh answered in just as quite undertones.
"It's still too sloppy," Lady Rexikat answered. "My Other was an assassin. I know more than a few things about infiltration and elimination."
"You used to be an assassin?" Ximh asked. I wanted to look up and ask as well, but I knew it would be aparent that I had been listening in and it was not very gentleman like to listen in.
"Yes. I don't want to talk about it," Lady Rexikat. "That's not the issue here."
"Oh," Ximh continued, "right. Well, as far as the plan...all we can do is wait and see how it goes, right?"
I sighed realizing that there was some distortion in he air, and if I listened in anymore I wouldn't be able to concentrate on fixing the last bit of explosives.
"I need the nitroglycerine," I said calmly. "Lady Ama it should be in the top cabinet."
"It's not going to work and this plan is too sloppy anyways," Lady Rexikat said aloud. I turned my head sharply to her as if this was the first time hearing it.
"No it's not," I answered. "Sloppiness would be in using dynamite bombs. Those things are pure stupidity in a box. And sloppiness would be placing them just anywhere. That is the sloppiness. What is needed in this is precise placement and routing tangents. I wouldn't expect a lady such as yourself to understand something like this, but it is basic biology only on a large scale and less to work with. It is very exact and intuned just like your assasin job.
"And as for the people inside. We need to evacuate them even before we take that place down. I don't care what you have to say about then, but they are people too. That is why we need to take them out before, and you can have your fun or whatever.
"I don't care what you say about this matter, but that is what needs to get done," I finished.
Lady Rexikat gave me a strange look and the her face melded into crossness.
"You were listening in," she said sharply.
"And if I was, I'm sorry," I answered.
Rexikat gave me another glare, but I just let it pass. I stared blankly at her.
"Trying to play hero?" Rexikat finally asked.
"No, just trying to live up to my standards," I answered.
