Nerd was a title he’d not heard in quite some time- an insult, as seen by most- but to him it was a term that he’d heard many times before. In a much younger point in his life perhaps- where those, just like her, used it as a means to degrade him. Yet now it held little weight, having been called far worse in his later years, a part of him almost found it humorous. A part of him couldn’t help but imagine her like a child in the school yard, her voice so loud, as if constantly demanding to be heard. He’d seen her type, in many varying forms within talon- those who carry a rather big ego, and know how to fire a gun– a rather dangerous combination in his eyes.

It’s why his brow lifted, taken back by the sudden outburst, blinking once- twice, a bit clueless as to what to say at first. Unexpected- his brow was quick to furrow after, having seen her butler around- a rather large and fumbling beast, no doubt her muscle while she was all mouth out of the two of them.

that's a nice car you've got there // @rebellock​

[ SO, IT WAS YOU, STILL ACCEPTING. ]

cigarette smoke curls and dances from between the tips of his fingers. the glowing ember of what’s left is dropped to the earth below, snuffed out beneath the heel of his boot without a second thought. one final exhale of what lingers before his eyes rise to find hers. 

of course he listened to her offer; he’d be a fool not to when she was speaking in the figures she was. that kind of money could set him up for a long, decent while if he could make off with it. but the promise of ‘ the job to end all jobs ‘ has always rang hollow. either because the money really isn’t there or because he’d be more likely to die trying let alone living long enough to cash in.

but that’s not what she’s billing. she knows he has his price and she’s willing to pay it, that and more, for just this one thing. just this one thing, and he could drop off the map for long enough to ward off the heat he’s been gathering. it’d be stupid to accept, but it’d be stupid not to at least hear out the tale she’s surely had spinning.
