A moment of your time oh wise and powerful writer. [ His sarcasm is so thick you could practically cut it with a knife. ]

I don't want to, all right? I've no interest in playing inter-stellar war games. I have better things to do than entertain your whims. Entertaining my own, for example.

No, there will be no meeting in the middle on this. Not interested. I won't be signing my name on the dotted line, and I don't care how you keep spinning it, 'helping people' isn't all that appealing either.

Even space has drunks.

[So, so amused.] All you new kids are always the same, but you learn eventually that they don't care for what we want out of them.

[theomega]

New 'kids'? [ He raises an eyebrow at the other, because... Come on mate, look who's talking mister baby face. ] No offence mate, but I don't think you're in any position to be calling anyone a kid.

[ Ashley's not really insulted, though, and so he moves on. ] I'm getting that feeling.

[insecrets]

[The grin that spreads across his face is slow, head tilting slightly.] Well, you haven't been around here before. It almost makes you a 'kid'. [And then a shrug.] I haven't been one of those for a long time.

You get used to it when you learn the rules.

[theomega]

A lack of general experience in a place hardly makes one a kid. [ He pauses for a moment, and then: ] And neither have I.

[ He's almost tempted to shove his hands into his pockets, but he resists the urge. No 'kid' could handle a job like the one he's got, thanks very much. ]

Ohhh no, I'm not interested in any of what she thinks she has the right to call 'rules'. That's a piss and a half

[insecrets]

[Still just grinning.] Naive, innocent, a newborn. I can keep going, but I'm sure you understand it.

[8c at least you have a legitimate job.]

She's not going to care if you're interested.

[theomega]

Oh I assure you, I am definitely not innocent. [ He laughs despite himself, but honestly Finnick that's probably one of the most amusing things he's heard in awhile. ]

No, she isn't, but that doesn't mean I can't complain about it.

[insecrets]

[Oho.] I will have to take your word for it.

It'll get tiresome. [A shrug.] I'm Finnick.
