"Not really.. I'm not fond of the idea, but if they are connected then maybe I can help them catch these guys.." She said softly, lowering her eyes some.

He quietly with a chuckle as he watched him began to bounce, like some kind of boxer, and brought his hands up to act of Pedro actually did take a swing at him. "It's alright, keep doing what you were going to do to. Just don't bounce as much. Street fighters don't bounce." He said calmly. "Don't think so much either.

"Pretend I'm one of those guys and come." He said, bending his knees and standing how he stood when explaining to Pedro how to defend himself.
