[Cayde immediately scoffs, waving a hand dismissively at the mild accusation.] Of course not. Now don't get me wrong, I like having all my stuff but I'm not in the business of getting paid to listen to people.

[Listening is a rather underutilized skill of his. But that's something entirely else, and not entirely pertinent. Or rather, if it is he's choosing to ignore that entirely. Instead he offers a small shrug, mirroring Connor's brow raise.]

Long story short? I'm a Guardian. I know that doesn't mean anything here, so just take it as 'I get stuff done'. Stuff that tends to get pretty hairy. And I make sure my Hunters get their stuff done too. [A pause.] There's a lot of stuff out there, nasty stuff, a lot of work to do.
