I was thinking that the whole contract-ending thing would be enough of a present.

[unlawful]

i'm a high maintenance bitch wash
and receiving gifts is my love language

[protocol]

You've managed to be pretty hands-off for me so far.

[unlawful]

well
not entirely hands off

[protocol]

[ w e l l ]

Fair.

What, do you want me to be more hands-on?

[unlawful]

nah i've given you a lengthy test drive and decided i'm gonna pass
you're not my type
i'd say nothing personal but it is in fact 100% personal

i will, however, accept other gifts
cash, liquor, cigarettes
balanced throwing knives
just to name a few

[protocol]

[ he would say something about how he knows that isn't true, but you know what. its fine. ]

You're asking me to get you more knives?

[unlawful]

if you're going to explicitly spell it out then yes
that is pretty obviously what i'm asking

[protocol]

And do you actually think that's going to work?

[unlawful]

don't know
you tell me

[protocol]

I would've tried earlier, at least.

[ because surely, there are a ton of reasons as to why buying felix more weapons is a bad idea, but it is a slightly worse idea when their contract is right on the verge of ending. ]

[unlawful]

tbh didn't think of it at the time
i was a little preoccupied w a myriad of other bullshit

( like dying and coming back only to find out that he's been contracted to wash, for instance. )

[protocol]

[ yeah that's fair. ]

Just seems kind of optimistic.

[unlawful]

do i not strike you as a perpetually optimistic person?

[protocol]

Plenty of words I'd use to describe you, but eternal optimist isn't that high up on the list.

[unlawful]

kinda offended
i think you're confusing me w locus

[protocol]

If Locus was your bar for considering yourself an optimist, your calibration might be a little off.

[unlawful]

he preferred the term realist but lbr they mean the same thing
meanwhile i've always been a ray of optimistic sunshine

[protocol]

[ it is weird to be talking to felix about locus. ]

Again, by comparison. Don't know if your insufferable narcissism is the same thing as optimism.

[unlawful]

insufferable narcissism? ouch
most ppl find it kinda charming

[protocol]

You manage to be both.

[unlawful]

( huh. )

you sure you're not gonna miss me when i'm gone?

[protocol]

I will treasure the last of our days together.

[unlawful]

so that's a big fat no on the weapons i take it

[protocol]

[ once more, with feeling:

S I G H . ]

I'll take care of it.
