He thought for a moment, staring directly into the man's eyes, "We give you a Katana, eh?" he thought to himself, then said,"So if I get it right, you pretty much want to know about my other 'Friends', right? To put it simple, the closest are the Chrysanthemums - whether you call it 'Friend', 'Contractor' or whatever."then paused for a second and continued,"I don't really like those Outcasts, I know a few of them, but I gladly keep the rest as 'Strangers'... Although you might not like it, I'm a Cardamine user, which means even though I'm not 'Buddy-Buddy' with them, I don't mind them as long as they don't poke their nose into -My- business either."and thinking for a moment again, he added,"Ahh... And one thing I feel I should let you know about..."then stared at the man's expressionless face before saying,"I have a close friend in the RHA - an Old one too. That's why I only asked for one of your ships, and not your guns. Because he's helping me to get a set of their guns for the Katana - if you let me have one, that is."then cleared his throat and said,"... But I'm mainly flying around with the Golden C., and you know it."
