You stole my joke.

✱ did somebody say EDGY?

[?] Rhys won’t forget that.

K. What do you need?

Good luck finding it. It hasn’t been made in nearly a decade.

Aside from all the other reasons I just gave you (I swear /I/ read better than you)? Have you seen Hyperion's current president? Ew.

Forgive me if they all seem completely contrived and trivial.

Tell you what, Your Majesty. You track down an out-of-production part for me, and I’ll think about thinking about trusting you.

I mean. You're public enemy number 1. Lots of people would love to know your information, and with just a few clicks, I could have it. Do you think I want to be an errand boy? I want to be back on top, Rhys. And I could have that if I ratted you out to Hyperion. I could have a turbomansion and see my wife again, probably. But I haven't. And I won't. Because I know what it feels like to be screwed over.

Your motivation isn’t very reassuring. 

You’ll never be back on top if you work for me.

So why offer? Why not sell me out? You don’t have a single reason to show me mercy.

I'm not saying anything. 'Cept maybe to my brother but that's just because he has to monitor my ECHOfeed. Accidentally uploaded porn onto our ship once and he hasn't let it go. Anyways, I already told you. I want a job. And your undying friendship. And maybe some fashion advice because I can't get this blazer I just bought to match anything but heyyy, let's start with a job.

I’m not hiring anyone under duress.

You give me one good reason to trust you, genuinely, and I’ll consider making you a temp errand boy.

[saintadonis]

You went to school on Hephaestus. You were a major in electronic engineering, and after Hyperion made the awful decision to not hire you, you added a major in business management.

Okay, smartass, congratu-freaking-lations, you got my attention.

Let me just go ahead and make it – perfectly clear that very unfortunate things will happen if you breathe a word of that to anyone.

Now. What is it you really want here?
