[ Before him lie a pair of incapacitated men that did little wrong besides have the fates of their lives so twisted that they’d come across these two in a relatively remote location, with no witnesses to hastily rush to their defense. But they were also lacking in many ways.

Besides, all they managed to do was get in his way, and that was reason enough to end their existences. The lives of humans are not so irreplaceable.

He replies dismissively, gazing off into the distance where the city stood nearby, then directly at Takasugi. ]

I have no objections. These guardsmen are not my subjects, nor did they care to afford us any measure of hospitality. As reason dictates, they are undeserving of my mercy.

[ Beginning to leave the sight of the crime, he lingers still to provide his… ‘brother’ with some words of advice. He has no attention of leaving Takasugi in the dust, but it really shouldn’t take long at all to kill these two. ]

Whatever your decision may be, make haste. [ He takes a step forward. It's clear that the thought of these two guards becoming nuisances in his future hasn't come across his mind. Arrogantly, he is one to figure that their puny existences would fail to even dare to touch his very own... despite the wealth of evidence to the contrary. ] For your own sake.
