But, yeah. I can't say I was close to Barnes or anything, considering he tried to trash our fuckin' office like two days ago, but it hit everyone pretty hard, anyway. The end of it was hard to watch.
But, y'know, is what it is. And at least sometimes I can help you guys a little in the aftermath. Let you talk it out, at least. Take some of you out for drinks. Whatever helps.
...I can't promise you much. [ a little uneasy. ] The more of these deals that get made, the more obvious it gets we're helping you guys out. You can ask a question, but Iunno if I can give you another one for a while.
I guess for now, just tell me if it would be possible... I've heard that some of these groups have had items or powers that could protect someone from dying. I was wondering if I could get something like that.

...I think we could all be doing better, but it isn't really me I'm worried about. [...] What about you?
no subject
What about me? 'm okay. 's a shitshow, but, at least I wasn't there to run it.

[especially for someone like aquila, who's seemed fairly caring to him so far.]

[ they say - it's a little pensive. ]

[he nods, though.]
I think something like this should always be hard. Or, at least... I'd definitely rather care, every time.
no subject
Yeah. I'd say the same thing, probably.
[ a beat. ]
... About caring, too. Think I'm not so good at turning off the proverbial tap, y'know?
no subject
[slightly amused]
no subject
Yeah? Me too. Sure as shit makes this job hard, though.

[ whew. ]

[he gives them a smile, before he pauses.]
Oh - that reminds me! I had another question about a deal.
no subject
[ they shrug a little, but! ]

[he cuts himself off, taking a breath, and then nods.]
Right. Okay.
no subject
Sorry. Any of us would tell you the same thing. No risk, no reward, y'know?
no subject
[he frowns, but he does nod.]
I get it, though. I don't want you guys to get in trouble, your boss seems... Pretty scary.
no subject
[ the bit about the host gets them to huff a laugh. ]
Something like it, yeah. Better to lay low.
no subject
...Are you guys safe?
no subject
[ they wave a hand. ] We're fine.
no subject
[gestures vaguely! their boss seems bad.]
no subject

no subject
[ they do seem appreciative, though. ]
