“ go, go! save yourself! i’ll buy you some time! “ for anders and whoever you'd like?
there's an unofficial optional "100 word" challenge happening today, so this was attempt number one at that, which CLEARLY DID NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS as it's three times too long.
As usual, a thousand apologies for not using the complete dialogue prompt verbatim.

Anders ignored the crash downstairs. Things were always breaking in the Pearl. Either due to drunk patrons just falling over or people who didn’t have the Maker-given sense to check stability before rutting like wild animals on tables or chairs or banisters or that one time in the chandelier. But that’s why they kept a very pretty young man who just happened to be very good at ….. massage on the payroll.
“Oh, right there, puppy, you really are worth every penny.” The gorgeous woman below him hummed with pleasure as he continued to rub her back. No really. He wasn’t paid to sleep with anyone here. Sure, he still did sometimes, but just for fun. And only with clients that had already bought something else. Sanga had been very clear that he was not to take business away from the rest of the girls. Or the nugs.
“Puppy? Really?” He laughed.
“What would you prefer I call you then, hm?” She rolled over underneath him, making several delightful things jiggle. “Are you my fierce tiger?”
He kissed her forehead. “Alas, I’m just a humble working girl, so ‘kitten’ is probably the best I can manage.” The sound of cracking wood happened again, this time closer. Probably nothing, right?
“No kitten I know can do that electricity trick.” She pressed herself against him with an inviting grin.
Was that Templar armor polish he smelled? Shit. He gave the pirate a smile he didn’t feel as he climbed off of her and started to pull on his robes. “So can a mabari? Because if I’m a puppy, that would impl-”
“Open up!”
He flinched at the sound of a gauntleted fist pounding on a nearby door. Warm arms wrapped around him from behind. “Are they here for you?” She asked.
“Can’t very well go ask them, can I?”
She kissed the back of his neck. “Go out the window and save yourself, I’ll buy you some time.”
