❝ RECKON I DON'T MUCH WANT T'KNOW WHY , MATE . ❞ she’s only saying that . EMPTY , is what the statement is . but she deals arms for people who she knows can do worse than whatever one man can commit / SMUGGLERS , SYNDICATES , STREET GANGS . ( yes , she’s seen it all ) , as well as the damage it causes by proxy : so what about a single man could shock her ?
❝ not only do i not care about what happened to your stuff , but i also swear not to care about why you’re buyin’ new stuff . I’M GOOD , EY’ ? ❞
the statement brings itself to a close when she blows her gum downcast , a comically large gloved palm tapping a paper on her desk that assures confidentiality to her client’s purchase & business : ( trust me , bud , i’m the best in my game ) . AND WHEN THE SILENCE IS STIRRED BY A POP THAT REVERBS WITH THE HIGH CEILINGS she indicates with a point for him to follow . ❝ come out back with me . you can get a good gander at what goodies are up for grabs . ❞
“ good. “ comes the terse reply. he’s never been one for talking, even before he put on the skull. she doesn’t know who she’s dealing with, why it’s probably not going to be good for her to deal him some arms, he’s not going to point it out. something happens, he’s not going to lose sleep. some arms dealer dies, chances are they had it coming.
“ regular saint nick, huh? “ can’t say he’s fond of the chattiness, he’s going to keep his replies short. terse is the way he does it.
he can’t say he’s really learned to take people at their words these days. been betrayed, thrown to the wolves, too many times for that. definitely not arms dealers, anyway, but she doesn’t seem the type. helps she doesn’t seem to know who he is, might not have even heard of him. that’s a novelty at the least. puts his paranoia on the backburner, not away, just low-key for now. not likely to get thrown to the wolves yet. “ gander. that means look, right? i’d be happy to. hope you’re stocked well, might just clean you out. “ he goes to walk to where she had pointed, with a gaze to her, checking. maybe not on the backburner.
