Yeah, but did they confirm their job? Are they one hundred percent sure that Tuxon was dead? Tuxon is a tough looking guy and a Faunu. Mercury and Emerald thought they killed him, but they might have misjudged a human and a Faunu's physical strength. That and his beard is glorious; such a glorious guy obviously with distinctive features obviously cannot die a few minutes into Episode 1.

There's a reason why Cinder chose Roman to do this job, and that's because he is a professional, and her kids are still kids.
