I think he's just very attached to it. Like a security blanket.

We have to entertain ourselves somehow, right?

A security shield that's bent out of shape.
I suppose we all have one of those, so to speak.

I'm not judging. This place can be pretty boring.
It's better than prison so I try not to complain too much.

Ha - I hadn't thought of it that way, but true.

It does feel like asking for trouble to complain but, you know, hard to give that up as a hobby.

What a depressing hobby...

Oh, as if it is not one of yours, too.

Never said it wasn't, Miss Yelena.

So whose card are you using for this race car bed?
I may or may not be able to provide a rather hefty credit line.

[Not his, of course. He would never, not when it's technically a work expense.]

Oh, Valentina is paying for this. Valentina is going to be paying for everything for as long as we let her walk around free.

I do have the black card she gave me.
Just thought I should mention it.
My personal funds are mostly frozen at the moment so I’m given pocket money for team expenses.

I appreciate the mention, I have one of the cards that Ava took off her. At some point we should make a list of who does have one.

Or who doesn’t have one. That sounds far more useful at this point. :)

You're right, you're right. Much shorter to compile, as well.

If you don't mind me saying so
The amount of shady business and backstabbing going around this place is delightful.
I initially had my suspicions but I'm glad to see you're just as bad as I am.
It's refreshing. :)

What were your initial suspicions? That we were all a bunch of goody two shoes?

More or less.

I think I would die of boredom if that had been true.

There is never a dull moment around here that's for sure.
Although I would prefer anything over being stuck in a tin can below sea level.

Yes, even with the life I've lived, that sounds unbearable. I have a stereotypical Hollywood cyanide pill for the occasion they try to stick me there.

Truly a classic.
If you were talking to the old version of me I would probably ask where to procure one for myself.

But this version of you does not want to know that?

He doesn't, no.

Then I'm very happy for him.

I'll be sure to let him know you said that.

Just keep doing what you're doing and I highly doubt you'll end up anywhere near that dreadful place.

For however long I can keep on doing it, I will.

If anything, we can vouch for you. Plenty of people could do that.
Second chances aren't a foreign concept.

I guess that's true. I'm not used to possibilities like that.
They aren't foreign but they aren't exactly truly familiar to me, either.
