I said maybe. Not that they would. [they're still leaning against the front desk, the drawing in their pocket and picking at one of their gloves.] You don't think it was just a misinterpretation?

no subject
Alright, you've been hanging around me too much. Starting to pick up my absolute shitty sense of humor.

Yeah. See you Tuesday, Water Bearer.
