So, who's Rihanna? And "Shy Ronnie"?

private to pink, open to white: You hear from him at all?

You'd actually probably enjoy them.

[orangetoughguy]

What makes you say that?

[adamantined]

You posted about LL Cool J. It might not be the same vein of music, but I still have a feeling.

[orangetoughguy]

Well I'll give your hunch a little credit for that.

[adamantined]

Is that all I get? Credit?

[orangetoughguy]

What more do you want?

[adamantined]

What kind of a name is Toby Wong?

[orangetoughguy]

I think it's Chinese.

[adamantined]

Which is why it seems like kind of a weird name for the guy who came in and picked up that milkshake.

[orangetoughguy]

You think he thought you'd believe him?

[adamantined]

I didn't really know what to think. I still don't really know what to think.

He's not a good guy to know, Claire.

[Time for the hypocrisy game.]

I figured that much from the warning you gave. I just want to know why. What's this big secret?

private;

[orangetoughguy]

I've seen him do some pretty terrible things okay.

[adamantined]

Just what is it that you guys do? What kind of job involves watching someone do terrible things? What did you do to -

private;

[orangetoughguy]

What he did had nothing to do with what we do. It ain't in my job description to watch scumbags pull repugnant shit.

[adamantined]

What do you do?

private;

[orangetoughguy]

Right now? I'm a grease monkey.

private;

[adamantined]

Right now you're just avoiding the question.

private;

[orangetoughguy]

Why do you need to know?

private;

[adamantined]

Because I want to. Because I rode to the hospital with you and helped you not bleed to death and the other day some guy who's enough of a threat that you have to patrol his conversations with people came into the place I work, and you won't even tell me your name. Explaining Rihanna and little Godzilla guy statues is cute and all, but you have to give me something that's real.

[orangetoughguy]

He cut off a guy's ear and almost burned him alive, that's real, Claire.

[adamantined]

That's saying something about - And you still can't even give me - That's not real. That's sick.

If he's gone then good fuckin' riddance but if he's around. You just, you gotta watch out for him. The more you know about me the worse it could be for you if he finds out. You gotta trust me on this.
