Fine, fine, fine…

He hands over the treasured paper.

Growing more annoyed at her sniffling. “How she even gonna run errands if she ain’t here? You lyin’ to me waterworks? Cause I’ll tell her to torment you if you are.”

Vetoed.

He greedily snatches up the container and inspecting it. Not because of a lack of trust of quality but due to enjoying the colors. “Always a pleasure.”

Then I’ll carry ya, but you ain’t checkin’ out on me yet. We got too much mayhem to cause n’ too many things to piss off. ‘Sides… I’d miss you.

He narrowed his eyes at her. While Spider was a grade-a dickhead in most ways, he also wasn’t needlessly cruel. He decided she was telling the truth and left it at that… For now. “Oh shut the fuck up with the crying! Makin’ me want to rip off my own damn ears.” A scowl next.

He walks over and nudges the heap with his foot. “Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Get up.” He crossed his arms. “If I’m stuck with ya, then yer gonna be useful. Welcome to being my assistant. No arise, I crave booze, and you are gonna get it.”

He reached down and grabs her wrists, pulling the blonde to her feet with a grunt. “I have booze in the house, for th’ moment at least, so just go get it n’ a glass from the cabinet.” He pointed to said liquor cabinet. One bottle of half-finished vodka was on the shelf.

He didn’t keep contact with her longer than to get her to stand, waiting impatiently for her to retrieve the alcohol as she’d been told. “You do a good job n’ I might even tell T you behaved why she was gone.”

sorry i get violent and homicidal at the thought of anyone trying to flirt with you. do you still want me?

It ain’t supposed to be fer the ‘meaning’ of it, babe, s’just cause it’s fun. S’a callin’. Don’t you dare. I’d remember. Eventually. N’ then I’d figure out how to bring you back just so I could rip you apart myself.

Scientific anomaly, atrocity, something like that anyway. He’s not croaked from anything she’s given him yet so that is clearly a good sign to keep going. “One’a the only reliable and consistent relationships I got. Course, I’m sure the monetary incentive helps with that.”

My brain is itchy again…

He snatched up the bottle, hissing at the meeker persona before taking a long drink. “Passable. You could be quicker though.” He didn’t offer praise so much as he didn’t outright insult or demean her. For now. “Now go… I dunno, find me something to eat.”
