Mako anticipated that at least one of the hunters would ask him rather than assuming the obvious. He turned to face the taller Hunter, his visor masking any hint of emotion. "I'm doing my job." he said nonchalantly. "It just so happens that I need her alive to complete it... for now." The mercenary emphasized that last part. He trusted Vex to follow through the charade, and hoped that it would be enough to convince the Hunters and get them off his back.

Mako gave a small nod of thanks as he proceeded to put the cuffs on Vex. He looked back at the pair of Hunters, before dragging the girl out from behind the wall and headed over to the ticket booth. The Hunters would no doubt notice them as they headed to the booth, but Mako could act well enough if they started asking questions.
He lapsed into thought for a moment before saying "I have an idea." Mako then reached for his belt and held up a pair of handcuffs, the same handcuffs he had used to restrain Vex earlier.
After around an hour of walking, they arrived at the station. They walked around, looking for the ticket booth, but spotted something else instead. A pair of Hunters, the ones that waited for Mako outside the hotel seemed to be standing beside the booth. He grabbed Vex's arm and suddenly led her to a wall to hide her. "We've got company."
"Yes." he said before heading away from the town and beckoning Vex to follow him. "There's a small train station about half a kilometer from here, hopefully we can arrive there without any interruptions.
"I see." was all Mako said. Truth be told, he didn't like the kid, especially when he teased the two before leaving. Maybe it was just the elf's happy-go-lucky attitude that ticked him off, or because he thought that the kid didn't take any of this seriously enough. "Is there anything else you need before we leave?"
Mako shot a glance at Vex when she called him a "friend" before turning back to face the elf. He said to the elf, in a cold, almost threatening manner: "I am her... ally as of now, but you will speak of this to no one."
The mercenary managed to sidestep the incoming elf as he appeared around the corner. The elf didn't seem to notice him, and was focused entirely on his conversation with Vex--or--Vexanne as the elf put it. Mako silently stood beside Vex as they talked, occasionally taking glances around the area to spot any suspicious characters that might be lurking around.
As the pair arrived at the city's edge, they waited for the elven contact to show up. Mako then heard the faint sound of humming in the distance and instinctively drew his pistol from his holster, but kept it concealed under his cloak. He walked slowly, being careful not to make any unnecessary noise while approaching the location where the sound was coming from. It was most probably the young elf who was supposed to meet them here, but it could just as easily be an ambush by the Hunters. Regardless, he stayed vigilant while he moved, and quietly made a hand signal to Vex, telling her to follow him.
Mako wasn't really a cheerful person, so even if he weren't wearing a helmet, Vex would see a face with no hint of emotion, just like his helmet. "Perhaps..." he replied to her comment. True, there didn't seem to be any hunters at the moment, but you could never be too sure. Locking the door behind him, the mercenary would follow the girl.
