[@King Tai] Vladimir doesn't even bat an eye. He simply tilts his head. "A...permanenet basis" he studies Aries. "In that case...that requires more than a monetary payment...a reason" he sits down in a chair. "One good reason besides you need protection and the clan is small for me to join you" he clasps his hands together. "Mind you I have been asked before but they never gave good reasons....hence the more temporariy body guard type jobs" he does a hand guestures. "Which I can still do even if not given a reason to be permanently apart of your group" he leans forward. "Take your time coming up with one." His grey eyes piercing into aries'. He is serious about this, all he needs is a reason. Which usually throws off the person asking, catching them off guard...expecting their money would be enough for a pirate.
