"a deal is a promise, and a promise is unbreakable." ooor "this is a terrible idea."

THE PAIRED REMARKS ARE MET in turn by a quirk of a brow, the movement so pronounced that his entire brow nearly disappears under the fabric of his mask. A none-too-subtle roll of the eyes accompanies it. ❝ Excellent, I’m glad that we agree on that. We are both clearly men of such moral. ❞
He’s forgone his cigarettes for once. Though he misses them already, and though he doubts himself careless enough to spark much trouble in the engineer’s lab, the concern of sparking something nonetheless weighs too much on his mind to fully ignore. Conagher’s toys are more temperamental than the man himself, and far more outwardly so. The slightest wrong move might set off one or – God forbid – more of those strange and unfamiliar devices that Spy certainly does not need to know the uses of. Not at this point in time, in any case.
❝ I did as you asked. Now I want my return, Labourer. Terrible idea or not, might I remind you that it was you who agreed to it ? ❞
It’s not often the spy performs favours for another. But as it is, the work that TF Industries offers him here at BLU is mediocre at best in terms of entertainment. He’s merely contracted to the company, as far as he is concerned; he has never been disallowed from taking on other assignments, and it is a detail he fully intends to capitalise on. As little fondness as he has for most of his colleagues, impatient and hilariously incapable fools as they are, he is not opposed to running errands for a select few.
Especially if the errands in question happen to be in exchange for a service too good to pass up. It doesn’t hurt that Engineer tends to provide the more interesting of challenges amongst those offered by Spy’s clientele.
❝ A deal is a promise, and a promise unbreakable. ❞ A spitting imitation of the engineer, down to the throatiness and the undeniable southern twang of the other man’s voice. Without further ado, he lays down his weapons before the engineer. Gun after gun, blade after blade are set upon the table between them, so clustered that the leisurely arrangement turns quickly to a jigsaw puzzle as he searches for the space to complete his display.
Atop these, he lays down the stack of files so heavily sought after. He’s paged through them, but regardless of whomever the language is directed towards, the information is clearly not meant for the layman.
❝ Until some man in this wretched industry manages to, I don’t know… craft a mechanical hand with which I can simply punch my targets to death, I would like something that I can fight with. Severing the enemy’s spinal cord is not always an option, unfortunately, and I do occasionally miss my target. I’ll make do with any of your experimental technology, so long as it is something effective. Preferably something lethal. I don’t care what you do to these, but make it happen. ❞
