“Work, school, and subjection to social interaction… the usual, really.”

[the-russianwolf]

“Okay so starting at point A and ignoring point C entirely because, rude, where do you work?”

[lulubell-e-blog]

“Ah, sure…”

[the-russianwolf]

“So where’s your future ulcer coming from?”

[lulubell-e-blog]

“..—-I… I don’t have to explain myself to y-you…”

[the-russianwolf]

“No, you don’t. But it still seems like polite is the way to go. Manners maketh man, after all.”

[lulubell-e-blog]

“For some reason, I hadn’t exactly pictured you as the ‘polite conversation’ type.”

[the-russianwolf]

“I tend not to be. But cocky asshole doesn't seem like the right approach for someone who has point blank run from me before.”

[lulubell-e-blog]

“I hadn’t realised I was under the scrutinizing eyes of the student body. But if it really is a concern of yours, and it shouldn’t, I’m a little stressed. I don’t really have time for.. whatever it is you’re doing.”

[the-russianwolf]

“Making boringly polite conversation? By all means, don’t let me hold you up, then.”

[lulubell-e-blog]

“Ah—-.. peachy.”

[the-russianwolf]

“Really? Because you’re some smudged mascara and a pair of heels in hand away from being the perfect portrait of distress.”

[lulubell-e-blog]

“..—-…”

[the-russianwolf]

“Everything alright?”

[lulubell-e-blog]

“…—-I-I, pants are on.. y-yeah..”

[the-russianwolf]

“You seem super eager to get rid of me.”

“I’m in a mood, he’s not as bad as I’m making him out to be right now. Nope, no, I’ll pass on the bonding. Really? How long have you had her?”

[the-russianwolf]

“If you say so, not my place to judge. Only a couple of weeks, I’m working on it.”

[nigelfromdownunder-blog-blo-blog]

“She’s my boyfriend’s best friend and I’m pretty sure they’re both in love with each other…so yes. What did you name her?”

[the-russianwolf]

“This boy sounds less and less appealing by the second. Now you two have something in common to bond over.Haven’t decided yet.”

[nigelfromdownunder-blog-blo-blog]

“Sort of; I’m not a fan. I think we would have had a beautiful fake marriage. You didn’t even get it to sell it? What kind of reptile is she?”

[the-russianwolf]

“Bad blood? It would have been lovely, but c’est la vie. An endangered spiny lizard. Very pretty.”

[nigelfromdownunder-blog-blo-blog]

“Oh, god. Why is that girl everywhere? I just find the idea of a fake marriage amusing. That must have been a hell of a reptile.”

[the-russianwolf]

“You know her? Just think. we could be fake married at this very second if the cards had fallen differently. She’s beautiful, totally worth the risk. I’m keeping her.”

[nigelfromdownunder-blog-blo-blog]

“How could she not ask? I would have asked. What’s her name? What were you smuggling?”

[the-russianwolf]

“Sally Carrer, and you’re taking this fake marriage a lot more seriously than I am. Illegally obtained cash and an exotic reptile.”

[nigelfromdownunder-blog-blo-blog]

“Do you enjoy it? What you do? Does your fake wife know about it all?”

[the-russianwolf]

“I do. I like being good at things, and this is something I’m good at. Best not to get too specific. She helped me with that one particular situation and I gave her ten percent, but she doesn’t know the details. She didn’t ask.”

[nigelfromdownunder-blog-blo-blog]

“Sounds dangerous. How do you just fall into things like that? And do you usually tell people you barely know about it? Seems risky.”

[the-russianwolf]

“Contacts. No, this is highly atypical, but what are you going to do? It isn’t like you know what I’m doing, or where, or with whom.”

[nigelfromdownunder-blog-blo-blog]

“……..Sure. Gonna end up answering the question? Or is it a hopeless cause on my end?”

[the-russianwolf]

“I fell into certain things when I got here. Drugs, some money laundering, hired two freelance hackers. I’m not cut out for nine to five work on top of school and I’m accustomed to a certain lifestyle.”

[nigelfromdownunder-blog-blo-blog]

“Maybe. I don’t really know. So….yes to all then.”

[the-russianwolf]

“Nope. How about that second drink?”
