❝ I WILL FEAR NO EVIL

Please, You’re motivating me to want to take that kind of trip again.

We should! Leave this town for a few days, go to some roadside bars, and hustle big bikers out of some of their cash. It would be fun.

Right. I don’t think my family moved around as much as yours. Hustling, That’s one way to fund a trip.

It's the best way to fund a trip. Actually, now you're motivating me to want to take a trip just like that all over again.

I forgot you hated it. Mom and dad say it all the time. Probably where I picked it up. Of course I do, You think I’d be unprepared like that?

We lived most of our lives living off of hustling pool and poker games. I think you can guess why I questioned it.

It’ll take some repairing but it’s holding up by some nails, A lick and a promise.

[shivers] I've always hated that saying but I mean, that's good. Insurance will probably help you out with that if you have it.

Rebuilding,

Agreed. How's the bar, Shiv? Did it hold up? I haven't been down there yet.

The store wont be opening for some time… Lots of flooding, windows busted out. It’s pretty bad.

Well, maybe I could help with some clean up? My house was pretty much trashed, so they're just going to have to tear it all down once I get what I can manage from the inside. Might as well do something productive to keep my mind off it, right?

Well I guess it's a good thing my apartment is still mostly intact

How bad is it?

If you make me bleed or give me a bruise I will hate you until tomorrow.

Until tomorrow? That's a short enough time and worth the risk. Let's do it.

Because I’m not saying I live on Mount Olympus or have a lighting bolt rod!

Alright, alright. Only because you haven't said that specifically but we both know where this was going.

Psh, I know how to play Slapjack.

Hey, I’m not saying I am a Greek god…but if I’m in a toga…and I’m a big dude…I could pull it off!

I'm sorry. How is that not calling yourself a Greek god?

I think I could pull off a toga or a cape quite nicely! I’d be Thor…or some Greek god. Like Zeus! 

I love how we're tooting your horn so subtly. 

[sighs] it’s a curse. I’ll just have to ask them to make me giant clothes from the curtains.

You could wear a toga or simply a cape and we can all call you Thor.

I just want some clean and dry clothes

You could ask the Delacroixs if they have any clothes for you but you're pretty much a giant so... I doubt it.

I think you need to teach me how to play good card games.

Well there's one where you risk smacking each others hands and that might be pretty fun. Interested?

I know, I’m sorry. I’m just nervous.

Alright. Good. So, cards?

I’m still worried about him. 

Let's both just try not to think about worst case scenarios. My mind already went through most and so I'm looking for distractions.
