"And here I thought you were an intelligent man, doctor..."
*Nobuyasu sighed, not resisting Aize's grip - much to the protest of his two samurai. Hanai hung back, sitting near Terrel and watching the room alongside him.*
"If the doctor hadn't transformed like that, this would've been troublesome... Not sure what the problem is, but- I follow my general..."
*She mumbled to Terrel, not bothering to glance to him as her eyes wandered to the dispute. Nobuyasu meets Aize's gaze, his eyes steely as always.*
"First: These are not the men that took our Captain, because - as you have experienced - they had no magic. Second: We could not have overpowered them. The only reason we had the upper hand is because of you, good doctor. If you wish to leave, I will not stop you. But I will not pay a traitor."

*Aize shakes his head disapointedly, and seemingly still confused. But he lets go and takes a step back, and he stares at the general.*
"If you couldnt take on 4 thugs with swords that are covered in rust and no armour and minimal training then i dont see why you would even call yourself a general, also why would you need us when you could have just sent in a few more people? You obviously didnt mind risking your people anyways since you are in a job that requires your life be risked at a moments notice, so would you mind enlightening me why you hired us to take out just 4 people and why you came along and joined in the fight. I do apologize for my rude behaviour its just i do not like that none of this is making sense."
*As he spoke his voice became less angry and more composed, it also seemed as if aize thought alot less of the samurai now, thinking that they were a bit weak based on the fact even with all their man power training armour and weapons, they were afraid of 4 barely armed unarmoured and untrained thugs that could only be a threat to someone with no equipment.*

"Well I don't follow anyone, but I'd say this is the last thing we'd want to be doing right now if we're planning on getting back this captain of yours."*He says ever so casually to Nobuyaso while averting his gaze down to his Crossbow. Terrel didn't seem too phased by the sudden change of plans of Aize, though he could think of several other times that would be better to talk about this than right now. He gave a shrug at the thought. The group could debate over it all they wanted, he was simply here to get their captain and call it a day no matter who was morally correct by the end of it. 

That's where the difference between him and Aize was. While Aize would consider the reasoning behind why someone would higher a mercenary for something, Terrel simply saw a job as a job. He had gotten a good idea of the situation upon taking this quest and that was all he needed to go off of for the time being. Terrel turned away from the group, his cloak sweeping at the floor behind him while Aize eventually let the others go. The Pig Elf was taking the time to explore the room further for any signs of where the captain was being locked away at. Well-guarded or not, he was going to look for them anyways.*

*The general's calm demanour faded in this moment, his anger rising as his eyes widened. His samurai inched away, familiar with this ire from serving under him. The samurai who had scolded Terrel earlier walked over to the pair, addressing them in a hushed voice.*
"We should get going. Longer we stay here, the longer they have time to find us."
*Hanai agreed, nodding and glancing to Terrel. She stared down the hallway behind him, then to the stairs flying downwards to their north.*
"Think that's of any interest? Probably have a cell or something here. Unwise to keep prisoners above ground with such broken windows."

"These are things you should have asked me *Before* We set out. I know not what you were told by the guild, hence I asked. But this has become ridiculous - we are in their base, and not only do you brazenly approach them without a single sense of stealth, you create such a brawl that the whole town must know what we're doing. Now, will you continue to berate me, or will you let us continue?"
*While his anger was rising, Nobuyasu did not let his voice boom - the doctor may be trying his patience, but the wellbeing of one of his loyal subordinates was on the line. There was no time for discipline of any sort.*
Donna
"Since you seem more focused on being fast and not answering my questions I'll be letting this go for now, but you should know i consider you to be weaker then the thugs below us right here. Also i was trying to draw their attention to give you all a distraction to find a way around thats why i went in the front and asked hanai to go around the back. But thats not a concern now since the fights done, now im gonna have a chat with these thugs if you would excuse me."
*Aize turned around towards the 2 thugs he had tackled before and walked over to them, when he got ovr to them he put a hand on each of their shoulders.*
"Excuse me you two but id like to ask what you're doing here and if you had bought kidnapped or sold anyone as of late, and if so who did you buy from who did you kidnap and who did you sell to, if you do not answer these questions things will get very ugly so i do hope you will answer."
Guillermina
"We can probably go explore down there while those two bickering look around up here."*He says, inclining his head towards the General and Aize as they parted for Aize to talk to the Gangsters. Terrel eventually turned his gaze to the other two Samurai near him.*"Either way, it's better than sitting around here all day for back up to show if there even is any here in a broken down place like this."

*With that, Terrel turned away from them, heading for the stairs at a fairly cautious pace. He kept one hand holding his loaded crossbow while the other hand rested itself on his partially hidden blade that sat beneath his cloak.*

"Wha...? My head, I can't..."
*The left gangster mumbled, the one on the right simply groaning to himself. The first gangster, propping himself up against the wall, his expression a mix of extreme pain and despair.*
"I got this, boys... Try not to die... You're here for the Eastern girl, right? Down the stairs... God, this is the worst..."
*He grumbled, throwing sparks from his fingers in frustration.*
Freddie
Nobuyasu threw one last glare at Aize, but did not push the issue further. He needed not the approval of a foreigner, much less a mercenary. Hanai waved to him, pointing with her thumb to the set of stairs - Nobuyasu watching Terrel approach them and nodding.*
"Kiyo, stay with the doctor until he's finished, then follow us. Toki, with me. Keep this quiet, no more loud noises."
*He barked, closing in on the pair by the stairs, the samurai Toki following suit. Kiyo huffed, kneeling down and tapping the right gangster's face to wake him up.*
"Anything else we should know, huh?"
*He'd ask, to no response. He huffed again, standing up and glancing to the doctor.*
"What now, then? We follow?"
Donna
*Aize turned around and looked towards kiyo he seemed like he was thinking for a moment as he glanced around the room for a moment, but then he decided on what he would do and spoke.*
"You can go down there with the rest ill stay up here and administer first aid to these thugs, and ill keep watch for any reinforcements because of all the noise i made. If i see anything ill alert everyone, now if you'll excuse me."
*Aize walked over to the first thug with the slash and arrow injury and inspected his injuries and tried to figure out how to help him if it was a none lethal injury, although with how brutal everyone was he doubts it will be.*
Guillermina
*Terrel would walk his way down the stairs, not needing the extra confirmation from the others as he was already planning on heading down. The thugs stated that this person was down here, though he doubted the amount of truth they gave rather it was intentional or accidental from their injuries. Despite it, he continued heading down anyways, his grip around the hilt of his sword tightening and relaxing.*

"You're helpin' us...?"
*The first gangster mumbled confusedly, watching Aize through fluttering eyes. Kiyo sighed, waving his hand and wandering towards the stairs.*
"Come on down soon, doctor-*San.* The general will be expecting you."
*He called, disappearing after a moment of watching the doctor.*
"Godamn weird folk... All this over one girl..."
*The second mumbled, coughing and sighing as well.*
Donna
*Aize faces towards the other two thugs and gestured to the other injured one who had received a broken ankle along with a stab wound.*
"Check on them and see if they are still alive if they are let me know and put pressure on their stab wound, i am gonna need a needle and thread so could one of you pass me your shirt, and see if you have a thin piece of metal to work as a needle along with a bottle of alcohol."
*He turned back to the first thug that was he previously inspecting, he took up a sword which had been dropped previously and used it to cut the mans shirt off, he avoided moving the man at all costs as to avoided making the bleeding worse.*
"The wound didnt seem to puncture any vital organs or cut through your bone, it may havebeen cracked though but take some time to rest and you might live."
Chelsea
*The gangsters did as they were told, the first one producing a small metal bottle and handing it to Aize.*
"Here, whisky. It ain't no moonshine, but it's strong enough for disinfectant, I think..."
*One of the more coherent gangsters checked on their comrade, deflating as they checked for a pulse and found nothing.*
"Ah... Wren's gone..."
*He murmured, the first gangster cursing and snarling.*
"What was that armour, paper? God..."
Donna
*Aize held up the first thugs arms and pulled the damaged chainmail off of him after seeing his cut wouldnt be worsened to much by the movement. Even if the man was in alot of pain from the movement due to the cracked few ribs, aize then used the whiskey to disinfect his wound and used the shirt he had removed before as a make shift bandage.*
"If you wouldnt mind me asking why were you holding them prisoner, are you in such desprate need of money that you would resort to risking your life by holding someone hostage?"
*Aize handed the partially empty whiskey bottle to the first thug so he could drink to numb his pain, since aize didnt exactly have pain killing medication on him at the moment.*
Chelsea
*He acquiesced to every painful movement, half-expecting to die on the spot, as spite from the Gods. His expression soured, not wanting to divulge too much to an enemy. But, he'd probably be dead without Aize, so he complied.*
"Its not about the money... The boss, he... Well, let's just say he has a personal reason for this. A certain connection..."
Donna
"I am sorry for the loss of your comrade, i may not have known him but i didnt intend for anyone to die. They just rushed in i had planned to simply incapacitate, but due to my failure to move fast enough they died so if you need help let me know and ill assist you."
*Aize seemed to be being honest in the tone of his voice, not that the injured thug would care. But then aize realized he hadnt gotten their names, but now felt like a bad time to ask so he would leave that for later.*
Chelsea
"Eh... Watched a lot o' fellas die in this business. Wren was new, he knew what he was getting into."
*He replied coldly, only barely hiding his sorrow - the second gangster closing Wren's eyes and muttering a low Shinto prayer.*
Donna
"If you all would mind waiting here while i go downstairs ill come back and help you move him and bury him, but if you feel like you can move you may leave just dont bring anyone back here if possible. I feel like the ones downstairs would kill anyone you brought here, and i dont wanna see anyone else die today."
*Aize started walking over to the downstairs area leaving the thugs alone to decide what they wanna do.*
Chelsea
*The gangsters had decided that, after this turn of events, they wouldn't get involved in the rest of this situation - both out of fear for their lives and out of respect for Aize.*
`Due to Aize's actions, the alarm has not been raised. The group is still undetected`
