Apparently, we need a union, whatever the fuck that is, too.
You do. A union might actually be a bit more helpful. You ask for a lawyer and you get, uh, Sebastian. Which - don't get me wrong. I love the boy, but he's missing a few pages in his Extreme Teen Bible, if you get my meaning.

Criminal. [ teasing. ] How dastardly.

[a pause.] I think I am going to do the fire hair thing, after all.
no subject
[ but, oh! they cock their head, and... seem to be grinning, a bit. ] You want help?
