[ His expression remains blank despite the words thrown about, and with the colorful ice cream cone hiding his mouth Ranger's expression seems emptier than ever.The word are on the tip of his tounge though, the reminder of how quick Sou Hiyori and Sara Chidoun are to throw aside their allies the moment things become inconvenient for them. He stops short of it as Joe and Alice alike interrupt, and Ranger realizes there's no need for such such things. He bites his tongue and stays his hand, tapping fingers against the wall behind him.

But the suggestion of "other things" sticks in his mind, nails itself to the wall and ensures it'll always be there on display, because there's so many ways to fill in that blank. Other things, solutions for when one becomes a threat. So then, other things await him once it becomes convenient. But that empty expression of his reveals nothing. ]

Right. So far all I've got is that we can strike deals, and I guess his memory's janky.

[ He waves his hand dismissively. It's something like that anyway. Nobody's memory seems to be quite right upon arriving here, and aside from that he remembers less than the lot of them, so he doesn't seem to think much of it.

[ What with the three bodies they have already and all. All else aside, a fourth based on a grudge from home wouldn't be a good look, but he keeps that thought to himself. ]

But keeping an eye on him is fine. That about settle it?

[ Or are there other options to be discussed? It does seem to answer the original question, though. ]
