[Jay puts a plate of cookies down within hands reach and watches her serious face.] Everything okay, Maxie?

[smallandschway]

[Cookies! Max automatically takes one, but doesn't bite into it just yet.] I got some papers after class t'day. S' a business offer f' th' shark bot design, someone gave it t' Steve t' pass on. [Srs frown.] I dunno what t' do.

[rhythm_red]

[Jay sits down next to her, looking the paper over.] So talk me through the offer?

[smallandschway]

[Max moves a bit closer to splay out the papers (and for comfort!) so he can see everything. Taking a bite of cookie, she figures out where to start.] They wanna buy th' design of th' bots f' commercial purposes. T' make 'em as water vehicles I think, not so sure as a search an' rescue droid like Bruce is supposed t' be. M' not familiar with th' companies here an' stuff. They'd pay f' th' blue prints an' all info on th' little stuff that I had t' tweak 'im better with. [She points to the offered price, which contains a lot of zeroes but still seems a bit low.]

[Soda with girly umbrella - and some cherries - coming up.] What's up kiddo?

[smallandschway]

[Aw, the umbrella again. ...It's going in your hoodie, Jay, soon as you turn around. <3 Siblings.]

[Tiny frown.] Got a business offer on th' shark robots. I dunno what t' do.

[king_jay]

[Try it, squirt. He's wise to you, now, and waiting for it, catching your hand and flicking the umbrella back at you.]

Is it not enough money? [That's the only reason he can think of for any hesitation.]

[smallandschway]

[She gives a surprised little squeak at his move, then sticks her tongue out at him. You totally ruined her plans, Jay! She'll have to find new ways to sneak stuff into your hoodie now!]

Kinda. I ... s'dif'rent. [She fidgets, trying to explain.] S'a big thing, Y'know? An' 's from home. [Band!Jay's verse. Quietly;] I don' wanna mess up.

[speedforcefreak]

Trying to set stuff on fire with your mind?

[smallandschway]

[Deadpan sarcasm;] Well, setting it'n water is just done so often.

[speedforcefreak]

Actually, hydrokinetics are damn sight rarer. No idea why.

[smallandschway]

S'odd. [The tiny genius gives a nod, briefly musing on the fact.] S'pecially since th' human body is 'least 60% water.

[demons_heir]

[Tim pauses as he walks by, seeing the contract language] Everything all right, Miss Gibson?

[smallandschway]

S'Max. [It comes out as reflex, so used to correcting others from all the little nicknames she ends up with. Next person to call her a little monkey or kitten gets kicked.] And yeah. I guess. Maybe. [She really doesn't know. This is a srs bsns contract and the tiny genius is out of her element.]

[demons_heir]

[Tim nods] Miss Max then. [Yeah, he can be a bit formal sometimes. Or he's just teasing her now]

Maybe? Anything I can assist with?

[smallandschway]

[Tiny eyeroll you earned yourself there, Tim.]

[She seems to debate a moment before giving a bit of an embarrassed shrug and glancing down at the papers.] I got'a business offer from my home world. I'm... It's a big thing, y'know? I don' wanna mess up, but I never did this stuff before. Jus' street deals, trade n' barter n' small stuff.
