When your job is basically being a high-class, strictly professional goon, there isn't really any reason to say anything on the run. After all, the folks you typically meet on the job just throw out a bunch of abusive drivel that'll be inevitably shrugged off, and actions have always spoken louder than words. And that's just how things are going to be here, too. Sure, Rude may not have the fancy tricks or long-winded speeches of his demure mage foe, but he's hardy and strong, which is more than the fragile Mia can ever hope to claim. And the classic "slug'em til they drop" strategy is classic precisely because it generally works. As such, Rude won't be making any friends today, that's for sure. On the other, like always, he'll get the job swiftly done.
