[It wouldn't have been pretty, especially not with the mob that had gathered round. Statistically, the odds had shifted against them courtesy of all the interference. The way it ended wasn't ideal but necessary] Of course you do.. [Go on, side with the old geezer] Trying to institute order without any real authority would just be met with contention. [As she'd witnessed] .. Ideally, it will never get to the point where we truly need such an institution. [Not overly fond of the police either, since in his experience they haven't been the most useful]
[Grunting to that, he made his mild displeasure known, but he didn't inhibit her pillow fluffing further.]
A small consolation. [.. but it isn't over. Not until he says it is. This is the beginning, one small ripple radiating out from the center. Iwa will be a dead man. Metaphorically speaking. It might not seem like it, but he's noting the additional information he's receiving about the cognitive verse. It's like those gamers that get too invested in their mmos to take regular breaks.. granted more serious. The enemies the thieves faced certainly wouldn't let them call a time out to take care of their other needs.] You're so stubborn.. [One to talk.] Right. Fine. It's there in case I have a sudden hankering... [Huff]
[Her defensive stance does the trick of getting him to drop his penetrating stare, but he's none too pleased with the excuses that follow either.] I have a feeling, anywhere that guy shows up is the wrong place and the wrong time.
[Iwa totally deserved what he got, and more. Own it.]
That bad. [He affirmed. Accepting the paper and implement he takes to sketching along the top page. He's so focused on the task that he doesn't look up until it's completed. Oh, he liked the way she was thinking. The stealthy approach would protect them both from immediate retaliation. Blue would never figure out what happened to it and have no one to blame.] That would be for the best. I only lament that I won't be able to see the look on his face when he realizes it's gone. [That's pushing it though, so he won't harp on it. Passing the sketch over to her, he met her eyes with his.] I can come up with something better than just that. Don't worry about it.
