I would like you to accompany this new recruit of ours in seeking a few answers from Kagerou-shi. He has suggested an interesting angle from which to tackle our kidnapping problem, and I would like to see where a chat brings us.
Even if we cannot dissuade him from this silly bounty, you might acquire some useful information- either about Kagerou himself, or Ringo-chan.
Consider these official orders.
[He's smirking a little behind his text; the gall of ordering around his uncle!!]
I'd be inclined to cooperate even if they weren't orders. It's a good angle. And tackling difficult conversations like these happens to be something I have plenty of experience with.
Not that I would fight official orders, of course. [ He might. If he felt strongly enough about it. ]
What's your read on the new recruit? Think he'll be able to behave himself in front of a potentially bereaved father?
Their replies read somewhat anxious, don’t you think? Someone who is either genuine in their outrage, or genuine in their capacity to empathize. By which I mean: familiar with the stakes.
[It doesn’t escape him that Saul thought first to ask not about what happened, or what the plan was to rescue Ringo-chan, but whether she was even still alive. Familiar with the taking of hostages? Perhaps yakuza, or familiar with politics or military. 'We have shareholders', he said. Perhaps private market; yakuza or mercenary, then.]
Taking into account that they were chosen for our clan… I would think they may be the ideas type. A creative. Perhaps a slick talker, but not a sly one.
Maybe so. Appearances mean a lot to him, it's clear, which means he should be able to sort out how he should present himself in a situation such as this.
I'll report back once we're done, if I find anything of value to pass on.
[ Not just about their target: he may get some insight on their new recruit as well. ]
I trust most of our fellows to have an excellent sense of appearances and temperature. And if not, I know I can trust you to lead things from going too far astray, hm?
Of course, you can probably ascertain enough of how you must proceed simply from a first chat.
I’ll be looking forward to your report, either way.

I will entrust that to you, then.
