she kneels at his side, checking if they're awake before she speaks.
"hey, hunt."
"for you? no such thing."

she looks at the note, but doesn't move to read it. not without permission.
"what's up?"
seb?
( she arches her eyebrows. not usually any good with girls, sebastian. so that must mean... )
alright, babes. let me know how much he usually gives you, i'll double it, and you tell him you're out, eh?

you better?
