Actually, I'm thinking a bit along the line of "complicated relationship" like rather than Ryuuga meeting Nico face to face, he used an NPC proxy while keeping his identity secret. Nico doesn't know that Ryuuga is his employer but Ryuuga knows about Nico's presence though pretends he doesn't. The quest itself will not be strictly to protecting Mizuki only but also Eldrith. Ryuuga will not be joining Mizuki and Eldrith's group (I think it consist of Morgul, Victoria and Rose.) but will follow them from behind. So in a way, Ryuuga is using Digit as his back up... it will be interesting if Digit misunderstood Ryuuga and thought he's a threat though, a little player to player fight is always welcome :)<br/><br/>Btw, I played Assassin Creed. I know there are missions where you are protecting people during transit but even for those missions, I tend to use stealth rather than straight up fighting. I usually prefer to take out the threats before they come too close to the guy I'm protecting (thank god for crossbow and hidden blade....) :)
