Sounds like you have issues to sort out there, my friend.

[spookhunt]

I think there's irony in you calling them "friend" too.

[manlywitch]

Oh-- Right, I hadn't even-- Well.

Look at that.

[spookhunt]

[ A light, little amused noise. ]

It's okay. I don't think anybody will hold it against you.

[manlywitch]

I hope not-- though they might be a little offended at the, you know, sentiment. [ a pause, waving a hand dismissively. ] So, what about you? Do you buy into this whole... Enemies within friends business?

[spookhunt]

Oh.

[ A pause, like she didn't expect her opinion to be asked. ]

Well. I don't... Know really. I don't think I've had proper friends in a while. [ Smoothing her hair back from her face self-consciously. ] I guess you could say I'm a bit of a workaholic.

[manlywitch]

[ he hesitates himself, brows raising. pretty girls are usually very sociable-- keep your calm, jax. ]

Oh, well. Likewise! I'm sure my job isn't as, you know, interesting. Though.

[spookhunt]

I don't think jobs are really meant to be interesting though, are they? [ A pause, then in the manner of a person making small talk without the experience of having made very much small talk before. ] Um. So. What is it you do, exactly?

[manlywitch]

Magic shop! I own a, uh.

Magic shop.

[spookhunt]

[ Oh. ]

Definitely cooler than my job.
