Mary and Apollonius remain outside the house, discussing current matters.
"Now what?"
"How should I know? You were the one who decided to play the good Samaritan here. Now we're both caught up in this mess, Sultanes are bad news as are heavily armed assassins."
"Oh, you seem more serious than usual, I thought you enjoyed death and destruction."
"The two are a delicious gravy to spread around indiscriminately, yes, but you seem to have forgotten my motto."
"Wasn't it 'The partner always lives'?"
"Exactly, and right now, with no idea what we're up against and how involved we are, that might be in jeopardy. Tell you what, if we aren't too deep in this, we could keep our heads down, let that mob handle it and wait for it to all blow over. Killing ain't your thing, I know that. But... but, if that is no longer an option, then well, I have a few contacts, I'll see if they can go get a sponsor and stack as much of the deck in our favor. Get weapons, get equipment, something to give us more of a chance."
"Is it that necessary? You said that you thought those people could resolve this..."
"I did not say without casualties. Some of them are war heroes, scholars who have devoted their lives to researching magic, or automatons designed to kill. A class far above you. It's always better to gain a further advantage anyway, plus I don't think any of those guys would know what to do with those armaments when they kill the rest of the Sultanes - better to leave them scattered in the possession of gods and angels than collected in the hands of mortals."
