Day peers from behind the barn now and then, trying to make sure it's only Tiffany and one person. He dimly remembers there was a distinguishing feature for her - something about her... her leg? was it her leg? - but it's hard to recall right now when their target is right there in front of him and Inara. Besides, he's gotta keep his focus on his job here:
Distract the bodyguard, let Inara shoo Tiffany Jamesson to their agreed spot, and get out of the scuffle in one piece. Sounds easy enough because come on- How hard can it be?
After giving Inara a sufficient warning to stand at a very healthy distance - he seriously warns her to start jogging so she doesn't get hit, arc energy exposure to humans is never fun. - Daylight begins to generate an excessive amount of arc energy from his core. Daylight has gotten a lot better at controlling this stuff over the decades and it shows with how quick he draws it out, allowing it coil beneath his plating. The gathered energy hums with power underneath his plating, a visible purple-white glow visible from within him now.
He then wills it to crackle out through his seams in bursts of sparks and little explosions, making loud and obvious zap! and pop! sounds all the while. When he's sure he's got enough covering his form, he walks out into view and cackles evilly as possible while approaching them.
"Well, well, well- What do we have here? Tiffany Jamesson, the ticket to the big time, and only one bodyguard at her side?" Daylight can't keep a straight face at all for this, wondering how genuine bad guys can do stuff like this. He allows himself to smile as he (tries to) evilly laugh again, allowing the arc energy to dance and jump on his frame in an erratic, menacing matter. "You're making this way too easy on me."
He takes a dramatic step forward, stomping one foot down as hard as possible, trying his damndest to make the ground shake and to give emphasis to his larger build than either of them. "I'll only say this once: Give me the girl and no one gets hurt."
