"Are we going to fight?"
Sin looked over, guarded. "We could."
"Would it do much good?" Tired, roots showing under pink dye, and honest - Mae was half-beaten already.
"Definitely. Everyone would know who's in charge. Even if we drag each other through the mud."
Wordless, grim, Mae started walking away.
"We could get thirty quid per person. They'd queue!"
Mae stared. Then she doubled over laughing, nearly sobbing. "Let's be best friends," she gasped.
As unlikely as a fight, really - but all that relief and sincerity, and even as she laughed Sin blushed like a kid, much too pleased.
