*The elf would lean back and let the Okamimi effectively tackle him, chuckling as he rubbed her ears and nuzzled into her cheeks back.* 

"Feeling awfully affectionate today, aren't you?" *He chuckled and hugged her back.* 

"Well... I'd rather not have any of us near any burnt down location. No, the idea is to recruit a confidant or two who knows how to fight - I know Yukine could make for a good one. And then maybe we'll get another who we can trust." 

"The enemy would want to strike while we are away - pretend we're going on the vacation as scheduled, perhaps appears more drunken or stupored than usuall... Perhaps we can fight in public. Then, when they think we've left and is vulnerable, we ambush and catch them red-handed."

"No places burnt down - just someone humiliated in the public. That, of course, would require us to catch them red-handed. They might choose to bribe some officials for a lenient treatment. So, we need to find some way that would force the officials to act and shut them down or neuter them."

"You may be a strong warrior, but your *My* Strong warrior. One who's good at planning as well. I can make some potions that can stop us from getting drunk! Katherine's probably not a good choice for this then; she can't handle anything."

*Letting go of Sirdan, Hu Lang stands up from the bed and spins around, letting her robes whirl.*

"You know, they can't get off easy if they're blatantly attacking us. Just get a couple of reliable witnesses should do us good. Maybe I should learn some Aqua magic in advance, or hire another mage. Hopefully the threat of a mage is enough to ward them off."

"Mmm... Anti Alcohol Antidote. I like the idea. So, how do we appear vulnerable? Well, we can do nothing and pretend all is well, and then you, Yukine and I all disappear and pretend to have left for another place, while in fact we're just waiting for them to come up to the restaurant and catch them red-handed." 

"...What'd you say about Katherine, though?" 

"We might end up waiting for weeks without anything happening though. So we need to somehow time it so that they would be caught red-handed. As for witnesses, I doubt they'd do anything that lead to them not attacking at sundown..."

"Let's see. We need to make them attack before we run out of patience and catch them red-handed. Somehow, we need to make sure they perform an attack right after we leave, or after two weeks or three weeks, instead of planning it for a month to execute it. Do we have a way to make it hasty?"

*Sirdan kicked back and opened up his arms,*"Come back. Need my Okamimi in my arms. As for fighter... Yukine might be a candidate. She is certainly someone we can trust. But I don't know any other people. Perhaps I can convince a New Sunlight member or two to help us out by staking nearby. I think most of them can be trusted." 

*He crossed his legs, sinking into thoughts about how to bait the opponents into attacking them. The idea of attacking them so they attack is tempting - but if they are caught in the act, it's all over for their reputation.*
