“You’re acting like it was my idea to have detention facilities put illegal contraband in easily accessible, sealed up little baggies.”
Curled around his hoard like a dragon, Kobal’s stretched himself in her living room with his less than legal cache. Charcie needed up top product (synthetic this time) and he’d offered his services - little did his brother know he was paying him fifty percent for his time and skills once the consumers started consuming. Fifty-five for this first grab, a one-time cushion bonus.
Kobal pats at the baggies underneath hjs arm. “They’re like little party favors. Hey. You can stop crossing your arms at me, missy, I didn’t take any with drugs in ‘em.” He taps sooty fingers to his chin and clicks his tongue. It’s like he’s been conditioned not to lie to her at this point. “Okay, I did but I didn’t bring them back here.”
Lei has that ‘swallowed a lemon’ expression that makes his core cool down in… guilt? Something gross like that. “Your face’ll freeze that way if you keep it up. Come on. Make a contraband angel with me. I gotta move this shit soon so we may as well enjoy it. Like… here.” Selecting a bag, he finds an eyelash curler. “Yeah, I have one of these. Pilfered it twelve years ago. A bug guillotine. But I’ll use it to snip your big toe if you don’t stop pouting.”
“You are bringing this shit to my house.” She hissed, head tipped to the side as she watched him. Seven hells, she loved Kobal, but sometimes, she wanted to punch him. Hard.
“It’s still illegal product. That you brought here. A lot of it. I don’t have the security for this.” Kobal knew about her past. He knew how she had tip toed the line between good and bad in Wonderland, because he’d been there for a lot of it. The need to survive pushed you to areas that you never saw yourself being apart of.
“Oyster drugs confuse me. I don’t like them. They muddle my head in the wrong ways.” The hatter grumbled the words, pressing her fingers to her temple. She had tried those chemicals long ago. March liked them, but she had never understood the draw.
When he teased her about the expression on her face, she flipped him off while sticking her tongue out at him. Lei tried to resist laughing, failing horribly. “Just...clue me in before showing up like this, okay?” She moved closer to him, punching his arm with minimal effort. “I’m not pouting. Frustrated and pouting are two different things. Now...who is all this shit for?”
