[BTR] Public, so very public

[smileforaliving]

Since we arrived, I've been making connections, a lot of connections. I'm in a position to get us out of the Tower and into a whole new life.

We won't though, because he won't come with me.

And it frustrates the hell out of me.

If you've got any place close enough that you can go, you should do it.

Come with me. Please?

I'd rather stay at the Tower.

That's bullshit and we both know it.

How much of what you'd have to do to get out is legal?

Why does it matter?

There's a lot of wilful ignorance involved.

It matters to me.

That's not an answer.

You're right, I don't like living in the Tower, I don't like living off the Tower, but it's the best alternative. We're not in a position to legally support ourselves.

That's not the point, Peter. I don't want to just leave you here.

I don't understand, I just don't. The world has fucked us over. It took away everything you worked for, it took away your house, your job and it took away your wife.

So what? All the work you did back home isn't worth anything here? That's insane. You deserve better than this, we both dol. We have earned it.

Re: [locked]

[burkethejerk]

None of that does anything to change the fact that right now neither of us can legally obtain the money we'd need to support ourselves. You can't earn the right to break the law, Neal.

Let's just stop this. I didn't want to have this conversation to begin with because I already know where you stood on it.

I hate this city.
