resistingly | inbox for duplicity;

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.

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

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

[ 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.

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

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

[ 🔪🔪🔪 ]

Okay, we can discuss that later.

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

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

Is that so?

I guess I can't rule anything out yet.

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

I make a very convincing apple pie.

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

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

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

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. ]

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. ]
