HE NICKS A NAPKIN from the dispenser folding it with practiced fingers over his thigh, seemingly in his own world where slabs of pork still existed on his diner plate ( he’s listening, waiting for that kick ). and it comes. it hardly mattered that they were in public space and he pondered as fork picked at scrambled portion, what exactly this job would entail – stealing, murder, coercion, or simple pawn – all for the greater good he’d continued to filthy these gifted hands. ❛ and to think i readied my rant on MISSIN’ bacon today. ❜ head sways solemnly as he indulges in his egg in an unhurried and genteel fashion. he presses another sheet to his face before casually mentioning, ❛ haven’ you heard, i’ve retired from that line of work.. ❜ a lie but he wasn’t exactly motivated to participate in that moment.
❛ too bad, it was delicious. ❜ oh, and he’s just so impassive, painfully taciturn. more attentive to a napkin than the currency she’ll wave in front of his eyes. it’s almost commendable ---- or it would be, if she were at all moved by a mercenary’s standoffish demeanor. a dime a dozen. ❛ ah, right. and i’m sure your little ... incident on that train was just a couple of pals not gettin’ the memo, huh ? ❜ her expression falls, something dripping in APATHY. ❛ listen, amigo, mm’kay ? as much as i love a chase, i think it’s in your best interest to drop the humble cowboy act and take a good deal where you can get it, yeah ? my grandma could tell a better lie. ❜ not quite a false statement. the old hag had told quite the fib even into her later years. but in truth hacking hands had simply done their RESEARCH, delved a little too deeply into the plethora of code, traced his movements for months in advance. she wasn’t fool enough to trust just anyone with her personal affairs. and she doesn’t trust him, either. but if gabe really had taught him anything, he would have to do. ❛ if you can’t handle the job, that’s fine. i can take my money somewhere else. i just thought i was dealing with the best over here. ❜
