on having reserved at entranceway

[justdewitt]

I appreciate the effort t'find me a face more fitting, 'cause the Vox posters sure as Hell weren't cuttin' it, but are you sure you want to add to your workload?

I can handle the overtime, but I'm a little more concerned about you.

[Hands-on experience, huh? Normally he'd be a little more skeptical, but seeing as he spent a good deal of time in a city run on quantum particle mechanics...]

They got one where you're from, too? And here I thought I was special.

[Ha. Ha.]

[goscrewyourself]

[Well, not her hands-on experience, but there's some sort of honor in the word of demons. Maybe.]

That's what everyone thinks. It's hard, isn't it? Figuring out you're not.

But I'm sure you'll get over it.

[justdewitt]

Won't be a problem. I've gotten over worse.

[Booker knows he's not a special snowflake, and it doesn't bother him none - but he's still experienced a great deal of trauma, and that won't go away.

Not easily.]

[goscrewyourself]

[Ohh, there's nothing Ruby likes more than a man with trauma in his past.]

Have you? Like what?

[No, really, tell her all your troubles.]

[justdewitt]

I don't want to talk about it.

[Booker does not endorse 'sharing is caring.']

[goscrewyourself]

Oooh. The brooding type, all right.

[All you're doing is catching her interest more.]

Then why don't we make a deal for it?

[justdewitt]

[Something about her feels...off.]]

I've made enough shady deals in my life to know that that's not a good idea.

[goscrewyourself]

Hm. [She looks him up and down.]

Your loss.

[justdewitt]

I think I'll live.

[OR NOT, AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAAAAA sob.]

[goscrewyourself]

[You just get a smile and a wink, buddy.]
