"What the hell did you call me!? You callin' me a dumbass!?" The first one, definitely the feistier of the two, hardly seemed phased by Aiden's harrowing size. Well, he seemed to be more the type to get in a fight before thinking things through. He was quick to pull a switchblade from his back pocket, it's metal glinting in the humming electric light from above. "Take a bite and I'll gut ya' from the inside you dum- GAH!"
The second of them had a much more... reasonable response to Aiden's monstrous appearance. A deep scowl set on his face, but his eyes belied he was visibly shaken. He had been quick to grab his partner by the ear and give a quick pull. "Yeah, Koichi, he is, and you're falling for it, dumbass!" His gaze never left that terrifying, inky visage from that moment on, tarrying Koichi away with him.
"Hey, man, I think I know a better spot around the back, let's go chill there for a bit, yeah?"
Of course, with the little morsels gone, Aiden would have free reign to tear down the gates and bust right in like the monster he thought of himself. With all the commotion he made, he could already see the fearful and angry eyes of the workers within... No, he got the feeling that at least some of them were not just employees. Especially not the big fat man casually lumbering towards the gate.

"What the hell you talkin' about? Let me go, asshole!" Koichi would continue his useless blathering as the other man dragged him away, probably for the best, but the way he spoke and carried himself made it seem like he just didn't want to get caught up in the threatened blood bath.
I..I don't know, man!" The worker was exasperated, as would most people stuck in his situation, honestly. He held up his hands timidly, hoping not to anger the man before him. "We just move the stuff around and the boss said we'd get a raise if we didn't ask any questions so I didn't." His breath quivered as he spoke. He seemed to be telling the truth... or again he was a really good actor.
"Uh, here!" The worker was quick to offer Kenshin the hammer at his side. The crate itself had already been busted a bit from the initial drop, and probably wouldn't take that much effort to get it opened up in the worker's mind.
Though, before he could do much of anything else... "Phweeeet!" The sharp whistle would rush into his ear drums from behind! Perhaps it took him by surprise, or perhaps the kid had been cautious enough to prepare for an encounter already, Jean didn't care. He'd prefer this little hiccup be solved without bloodshed, but a suit like that? He was afraid it meant business.
He kept one hand on the trigger of a pistol aimed center on Kenshin's chest while the other gingerly tucked his glasses into the breast pocket of his suit jacket. "Enough." The man looked and sounded undeniably western. Had the businessman look down pat, really, the only thing off about his outfit was his bare feet. "Now, since I assume we're all civilized here, I'm going to give both of you ten seconds to turn around, walk out that door, and pretend like none of this ever happened."
