Tsukikage knew the answer but he was surprised that Speedwagon was sharing it. He patiently lets Speedwagon speak though, letting the man finish.

"You are a very honest man, Mr. Speedwagon. It's refreshing, especially in my line of work." Well, as a ninja and an escort, anyway. Not the rest of it. "You're a newcomer from a particular background. I do not blame you."

Tsukikage smiles a little.

"Although, even if mugging was not your intention, perhaps you are lucky that you were directed at me. If I ever disappear or you choose to find work elsewhere in the future, I do not recommend you sharing the fact you're a mugger to your employer. They may not be as understanding."

He says that so plainly and seriously... but it's a joke, he swears.
