Not at the house.

[ SUSPICIOUS ]

[riskless]

that's generally what going for a walk means

[malta]

Yeah just don't bring it up at the house either

[riskless]

[ ok now it's Very Suspicious. ]

if you give me a better place to meet up we can bypass the house entirely

[malta]

The pharmacy by the farming district. I'll buy you an ice cream.

[ it's also about as far from his apartment as possible in the aerie. and a safehouse. ]

[riskless]

ice cream seals the deal

[malta]

Thanks, Nile

[ he is being super sus and she's rolling with it and yusuf is very grateful for it ]

[livrer]

If Kai is your ally will you let him help you for as long as you need?

[riskless]

why do you trust him so much?

[riskless]

i'm not gonna actively discourage any of your long lived tail dreams, but i will advise against it.

[livrer]

Because I have to Nile

Because you are in the Quarry and I have no other way to help you

[livrer]

Trust me, I will not be getting a tail now or any other day

I'm just saying tattoos and piercings are far more believable than some of the things I've seen in that market

[riskless]

i don't want it to backfire on me

he doesn't seem like the kinda guy who wants to lose

[riskless]

your name is booker and you never read cyberpunk dystopia with hardcore body modification? sounds like you need to expand that library.

[riskless]

you're paying

[livrer]

I would be a fool if I said that thought didn't cross my mind as well

But you're smart

[livrer]

I have always been more a fan of the classics

[riskless]

so why is he gonna listen to you?

i need a reason sébastien, besides me being smart, besides a mystery arrangement i don't know anything about

[riskless]

you gotta broaden your horizons then maybe tails wouldn't be a cyberpunk surprise

[livrer]

I'm sure we have other priorities

[riskless]

it could fall under research

given we're in the middle of some real life cyberpunk nonsense

action —

[malta]

[ yusuf is waiting by the pharmacy, hands tucked in his pockets, stupid baseball cap turned backwards on his head, little tuft of hair escaping in the front.

it okay if nile thinks he is cute, she is not immune to factual evidence.

his hand lifts in a wave when he sees her approaching. ]

Hey.

[livrer]

Does a 'bro code' count as an answer?

I have known him for much of his life and he has known me for much of mine

Before I was a Rook, before I was anyone

[livrer]

True

If you find me a proper book to read in this genre

I will do it

[riskless]

being a rook doesn't automatically make anyone a better person

the fact that you HAVE known him that long matters more

does he still have your back now? and vise versa?
