Jaxen rather liked that she called him on his miscreant deeds. There was no finer compliment in his mind. And it cemented a certain level of fondness for the girl, in Jaxen's mind at least.
She held his complete attention in the few moments to make her decision. Trust in their world was uncommon, so the fact that she shared anything meant that she thought there was an advantage to swapping stories. Which of course, anyone able to convince Jaxen to shine a favorable light upon them would certainly be at an advantage.
He shifted his laced fingers to the edge of the table, as he did in reality sit forward in his seat. On the flesh and blood side of things, he was downloading and opening the files she shared. In their virtual world, he was quite still, as though paused, while his avatar apparently read their contents.
Government issue Land Warriors sparked something of a curious note, but both Jaxen and Voxel didn't acknowledge them too much, nor talk of someone hiring this woman to their dirty work. It was the files themselves that drew Jaxen's attention. He was looking to fill the gaps in his own knowledge. He was a master of stealing advantage where he could after all.
When done, Voxel mimicked her movements, and another set of files appeared on the table, like wormholes that she could peer into and study as her avatar wished. "The government linked to Baccarat is curious. But they have their fingers in everything. Not too surprising. Maybe I should tell you I've seen the servers you've described. In person. In a hidden vault under the ground floor mansion and accessible only by private elevator from the residence above...?"
His eyes rolled away thoughtfully for a moment, "But nobody should admit to such a thing. Unless they have a death wish. Or if someone has been trying to kill them over it."
...such as the same person that hired this woman. He was dancing a dangerous line. If she were the wrong person, things could go south for him quite quickly. But where was the fun in playing it too safe?
