aptum ad solium

Yeah, I got you.

Today hasn't been that lucky? That's ironic.

Uneventfully, but we all know…

Uneventful as well. Which I would go so far as to say it's a good thing, at least until we all get bored and restless.

[Birdie stiffens for longer than a moment before staring up at her.] Well…[She clears her throat.] Could I help you find anything?

Yes, actually. I'm looking for something by Fitzgerald. Care to show me where I could find that?

Boss…your name sounds familiar.

Yes, as it should. How observant of you.

Aren't you supposed to be an employee here? I've been staring at this shelf for ten minutes and you haven't even offered your services.

Please, like I’d ever purposely compliment head of the soul eaters.

So you've got an attitude, eh? How original.

I— have no idea. What’s been on your mind lately, Boss Hoss?

A little of this, a little of that. You know - the usual. 

Me? Get caught?

That's what I like to hear.

All the more incentive to start up a conversation. I always smoke faster when I’m talking, too.

Right, of course. And what do you think this conversation should be about, Lucky?

Three years of tagging and you’d think I could manage to keep the paint off myself.

As long as you don't get caught, you can cover yourself in paint for all I care.

It’s a wrench, not an arm. So yes, I think I can.

I'm Boss. It's an absolute pleasure.

There are plenty of others around the shop, so I’m not too hung up.

You can replace your favourite wrench that easily?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Accidental stroke of genius, what can I say?

Accidental? Now I'm disappointed.

I lost my favorite wrench

You look unusually happy, in that case.

It wasn’t meant to be a compliment, but you’re welcome anyway.

Devour you? Leader of the Soul Eaters? It was pretty fitting, actually. 

Like, scarily. Like you could devour me.

Now now, don't throwing compliments around so easily. You'll make me blush.
