Unlucky considered for half a second, given context of the conversation, not assuming the obvious...

"[i]Granting[/i] desire or [i]giving[/i] one?"

He paused, because he couldn't not ask the question.

"Also, if you get paid in amnesia, how you sure you remember if you got paid?"

He eyes the approaching aliens - enemy? - for a second.

"One second, protocol requires to ask question...

"HEY!" he bellowed in the direction of the aliens. "We making deal!" He waved flapped his hand between the pair of them. "Any you want to make better offer?"

While waiting for a response, he looked back at Boldness and continued conversationally. "Sorry, nothing personal, you seem like nice... Lady? (By our standards anyway.) Frankly, me on board with 'redemption' as good enough reason, personally. But got to ask - boss gonna be listening; and only fair to give others chance to be reasonable. We all very big on being reasonable - when it suits us purposes, of course."

While talking, his hands moved and - with a little practised effort to do it without the words, given it was a level 50 spell - he cast up [i]Combat Mastery[/i]. One of the highest level spells in the packaged "list" Combat Law, it allowed him to autonomously cast any of the lower level ones while it lasted (the better part of ten minutes at his caster level for that spell). It would let him shunt up some of the better defensive spells over the next few moments without having to cast each one individually (and to replentish them if they got taken down); it also gave him the option of using some of the offensive ones too, [i]Cold Beam I[/i] and [i]II[/i] being obvious options given those walkers, both functionally replicating vehicular-level coldbeam weapon discharges. ([i]Cold Beam II[/i] was not part of the generally taught portion of the list, but on the other hand, few casters got up as far as level 40 spells anyway...)

"Honestly, expecting response to be shooting, but at least honour satisfied," he added in an undertone. Considering the company, he clarified: "Should note that speaking metaphorically, us not really big on concept of 'honour,' it lead to stupid pride-thinking instead of getting job done right."

With a thought, he used [i]Combat Mastery[/i] to bring up [i]Shield XX[/i], and a briefly-visible shield bubble popped into exsistance around him.

He mentally parsed up the distance between the aliens, assessing if they were going be in [i]Fireball[/i] or [i]Greater Fireball[/i] radius...
