I've heard you've got the best garage in town.

[resistingly]

Oh. Well, I don’t know about that, but it is one of them. The garages.

Did you have a question about it?

[perfectible]

I was thinking about getting a car to restore. As a project.

[resistingly]

Well, we’ve got a couple junkers here that are definitely up for grabs if you want to come by and take a look sometime.

You like to fix cars?

[perfectible]

Even better.

I do. It's kind of relaxing, you know? Fixing something.

[resistingly]

Yeah. One of my best friends is like that. Really enjoys getting to put things back together.

[ he's reached the point where it only hurts a little, thinking about rey. but they're also maybe slowly patching things back up too. ]

So really, yeah, you could come by whenever you want. Poe and I live right next to the garage, so we're usually there late.

[perfectible]

It's just nice to be able to complete something especially in a place where things don't always get... a resolution.

I could come by tomorrow?

[resistingly]

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense, actually.

Sure. I'll be there, but the scrapyard is always open so you can just take a look around and let me know what you feel like working on, if anything.

[perfectible]

Thank you. I'll obviously pay you for it but can I bring anything else?

[resistingly]

Oh, don't worry about it. If anything, you'd be taking something off our hands if you decide to fix it up.

[perfectible]

[ she's going to insist. and if he doesn't let her, she's going to hide money in the till!!!]

You can always sell what I rebuild.

[resistingly]

True, but you'd obviously be getting most of that cut. It's your hard work.

[ don't argue with him, betty!!! ]

[perfectible]

[ 🔪🔪🔪 ]

Okay, we can discuss that later.

[resistingly]

You're not going to give up that easily, are you?

[perfectible]

Well no, but I thought I might be able to charm you into forgetting about it later.

[resistingly]

Is that so?

I guess I can't rule anything out yet.

[ is this... is this flirting... ]

[perfectible]

I make a very convincing apple pie.

[ and yanno... other methods of distracting. ]

[resistingly]

Apple pie? I don't think I've ever had that.

[ this boy lived on flavorless space rations for too long. ]

[perfectible]

Really? Then I'm bringing you one.

[ is this the way betty seduces? probably.

she's stopped being surprised by people here not having things she considers normal. ]

[resistingly]

Oh, okay. If you want. I'm sure Poe would appreciate it too.

[ because it doesn't occur to him to think that someone would be bringing something by JUST for him. ]

[perfectible]

You're welcome to share it with whoever you want. It's your pie.

[resistingly]

What about you? It seems kind of a shame that you'd make the whole pie and then not get any.

[perfectible]

I'd be happy to share it with you. I can bring some ice cream to go with it.

[resistingly]

Oh, is that how you normally eat it? With the ice cream? See, that I've had.

[perfectible]

Warm apple pie and vanilla ice cream. You can't go wrong.
