I'm still at work, but you're welcome to interrupt me.

Do I? I don't remember this.

I'll come bother you in a little bit.

Crysta blamed me for breaking into her room when everyone's powers were swapped around and I owe her a favor for that. You've got to pay me back.

Not worried that anyone in Security might need medical attention today?

She does know I was there too. Are you sure she isn't just giving you a hard time because you're an easy mark?

They'll live.

I know she knows that, which is why I was confused about the level of conviction with which she blamed me for it. But I do owe her like six favors at this point so maybe you're onto something.

Perfect. I have more radiation readings for you to go through.

It's because you possess both shame and ethics, and I don't. Crysta knows there's no point in being disappointed in me for violating her privacy. But I'm willing to grant you one favour, seeing how you've somehow made yourself an indentured servant to my sister.

I had a thought about speeding that process up, but if it's the only reason you keep inviting me to hang out with you...

So, sorry: she didn't blame you because she knew you wouldn't feel bad even though you did do it, and she did blame me because she knew I would feel bad even though I didn't do it?

I always want to improve efficiency. But if you can think of something else we can do with our time, I might invite you over again.

It worked, didn't it?

Does it have to be work-related?

Yeah, it's a great system for the two of you. You get to misbehave all you want and she gets a free dogsitter whenever she needs one.

On a Wednesday? Yes. But I'm open to negotiation the closer it is to the weekend.

You have an affinity with Gordo. Who else, pray tell, should she ask to be the dogsitter?

So you don't want to get day drunk and watch people roll around in the mud?

I don't mind watching the dog. It's just the principle of the thing.

Pardon me, but weren't you the one scolding people for day drinking and not working?

You should stand up to her. Ask her to pay you. She bullies you because you make it easy. And far too fun.

Yeah, but I'd go if you wanted to.

I didn't realize I was being bullied in this case.

[...] No shots. But I would be interested in seeing how Security does with mud wrestling.

You definitely are. That said, it's also a show of affection from her.

Deal. If I'm going to be looking at radiation readouts until eight I need a little bit of outdoor time anyway.

Yeah, I'm familiar with this concept.

I'll meet you outside. [...] You do know you don't always have to indulge my demands?

You make it rewarding. But if you ever get tired of it, Crysta will like you even if you say no to her.

If you asked me to do something I really didn't want to do, I'd tell you.

I do sometimes.

I see. So you're saying that you simply enjoy doing what I want.

This arrangement seems fine then. I misbehave, you dogsit, Crysta gets to manipulate a boy, and you've bargained a favour out of it.

I [...] Yeah, I guess that is what I'm saying.

Next time she blames me for something you did I'm just telling her it was you though.

I'll try not to abuse the privilege.

Oh, please do. I'd love to see what she does in retaliation.

I don't totally believe you, but that's okay.

I'm on my way down. See you in a minute.

😇

See you soon.

I'm in New York until tomorrow. Would you like anything?

Yeah, actually. There's a bakery there I like. I'll send you the address.

What are you doing in New York?

What's your favourite item?

Research trip with Crysta. We're gathering outfit ideas for Halloween.

They make really good sourdough bread.

Oh, I see. Are you having any incidental or unintentional fun?
