[She just grins.]

[watchmaker]

[yeah no, weirdo. he rolls his eyes and pokes her on the forehead with two fingers like she's a little kid or anime character.] You don't.

[bittersweeter]

That would be pointless. [Lila ain't scurred, why would you murder your friend if you can't get anything out of it. And she moves all up in his grill like prove it, flicking her cigarette away.] What's a little bloodshed among friends. [How she makes that sound like a come on, the world may never know.]

[watchmaker]

Maybe I haven't decided what I'd do yet.

[bittersweeter]

I could think of a couple things. [She smiles.] Start small.

[watchmaker]

Are you trying to help me come up with ways to punish you? Fifty Shades of Grey much?

[bittersweeter]

[...huh?] What's Fifty Shades of Grey?

[watchmaker]

[jsyk he got a 14 pop culture check on that. god bless ... ] ... You don't want to know.

[bittersweeter]

[Oooooookay. She is giving the most judgy eyes right now and she doesn't even know why, it just seems like something she should be judging all up in here.

This is a judgment zone.]

[watchmaker]

What?! You don't even know what it is!

[bittersweeter]

Obviously it's something horrible if you don't even want to tell me what it is. Or what it has to do with punishment, which was not what I was going for at all, frankly.

[watchmaker]

What were you going for?

[bittersweeter]

No, no I want to know what this thing is first.

[watchmaker]

[w h y is this happening] It's a book of tasteless erotica.

[bittersweeter]

...wow. Never actually been glad I was a cat 'til now. Did you read it?

[watchmaker]

Enough to know I didn't want to continue. I found it someone's stuff postmortem.

[bittersweeter]

Poor baby. [She pats his arm consolingly.]

[watchmaker]

Yeah, yeah, thanks. Now what were you going for?

[bittersweeter]

Not that. More like you've seen mine and I want to see yours. And if you're trying to dissuade from stabbing you to get a reaction, what better way to do so than to just show me. Willingly. [Diplomacy 32; she is rly srs.]

[watchmaker]

[well damn gurl. when you put it like that ... ]

I hope you don't mean right here behind the bar.

[bittersweeter]

There has to be something you can show me.

[watchmaker]

I can show you all sorts of things. It all depends on the thing you want to see.

[bittersweeter]

Surprise me. [Coming from anyone else, this would just be a hilarious choice of words to a serial killer. But Lila knows that part. And... doesn't give a shit. So she really just means surprise her.]

[watchmaker]

[after considering this for a moment, he nods and starts walking out from the back of the bar toward the parking lot. before he gets too far, he looks over his back and motions for her to come along.]

[bittersweeter]

[Oh exciting. She doesn't need any more prompting than that, quickly hurrying after him.]
