Both Avery and Grito were shocked to see Vi'ivando pressing so hard for his nephew to join Avery's band of mercenaries.
Normally you would expect such a close family member to be supportive of their kin's feelings and decisions, but Vi'ivando had gone so far as to call Grito a fool for passing up on this opportunity.
'I suppose he believes that this is best for his nephew. While it would make the Odium Syndicate our enemy, that would mean that Grito had strong allies to defend him. The Alliance Police already failed to protect him once and forced him to flee due to threats on his life. If Grito wants any semblance of a normal life going forward, he absolutely needs protection.' Avery thought, speculating on what Vi'ivando was thinking.
Of course, he was all for Grito joining him. He had seen the young Baccigan's skills up close and knew that Grito was inventive. He was perfect for keeping their ships running in good order and possibly even improving some of their systems.
