"I wouldn't spit on any alliance around here," Aya said simply. He had no particular fondness for Schwarz, which was quite apparent from his way of handling the meeting last night, but he couldn't deny the fact, that the brief talk with Crawford had been the most fruitful one he'd had for days.

He just wouldn't be the one talking Ken around either. It wouldn't hurt if one of them would be against the idea.

"It seems this Schuldig is young," he said softly. The brief encounter with the telepath last night had left him with the impression of a childish and rash man, trying to get his will through no matter what. His thoughts of Crawford he still kept to himself for whatever unknown reason.

"Yohji owes Schuldig something. That much became clear." Which in Aya's mind easily turned into 'Weiss owed something to Schuldig'.
