Rattus and Yukina went silent for a full minute after what Lexi said about her relationship to Neo. The two of them weren't strangers to awkward silences, but this was something very awkward even to them. This awkwardness was amplified by the circumstances surrounding Lexi and Neo, which was something not every man or woman can shake off. And the couple can only look at each other out of confusion or shock. They both were thinking that brunette was strangely indifferent or even forgiving of what Neo did to her yesterday. What made it more surprising for them is that she had consensual sex with her rapist, which was something unheard of for them. In other words, they were confused. They felt like they should say something, but they don't what it is.<br/><br/>On the other hand, Neo felt smug when Lexi wrapped her arms around his waist, more so when she said that they were on good terms. The blonde alchemist knew to himself that, despite his attitude, she was telling his two other companions that they had consensual sex. His grin was wry and he grunted proudly. In his mind, he was being defended by a woman who he called as worthless earlier. And such only blew up his already inflated ego.<br/><br/>"...What, ya' assholes?" Neo finally broke the silence.<br/><br/>"Umm..." Yukina snapped out of her confusion. "...I do think Lexi-san should go with me."<br/><br/>"I agree with such proposal." Rattus said flatly. "I personally feel like Miss Davis would have been exhausted after her time with Neo in the mission, but if she requests to go with Yukina, then so shall be it."<br/><br/>"Y-yes!" The Japanese lady enthusiastically stammered, trying to hide the fact that the earlier moments were awkward. "I do not know how to go places here in Seattle, so I would be happy if she would guide me to where the police are!"<br/><br/>"Indeed, indeed." Rattus was also trying to compensate for the earlier awkwardness, although significantly less noticeable. "And as I said earlier, I should contact the Jones Cartel. Neo, I want you to accompany me on this."<br/><br/>"Yeah, sure thing." Neo smugly said. "'Sides, I wanna get this shit over with like crazy, ya' kno'? Them motherfuckahs are sittin' pretty on their clubhouse, so I wanna blow their shit to pieces."<br/><br/>"Then, it has been settled." Rattus concluded. "I and Neo would contact and negotiate with the Cartel, while Miss Davis and Yukina would inquire the local law enforcement agency. Is that clear to everyone?"<br/><br/>"Yes." Yukina answered. "I think we should go and do the plan, onii-chan."<br/><br/>"Why, yes." Rattus nodded in agreement. "In fact, you should leave as early as possible. We have no time to waste."<br/><br/>"Alright." The lady in yukata affirmed, before turning to Lexi and saying "Shall we go now, Lexi-san? Please guide me around the city."
