Nope. I gotta take time off until I'm not a liability anymore.

[A point to his shoulder. Yes it annoys him.] I get to take it off next week.

[signatures]

Good luck. Paid work comp or on your own?

[ Poor Mister O. Boy sure does hate feeling useless. ]

[orangetoughguy]

[Hey Mister E, guess who else hates feeling useless? Of course Eames is no mind reader so he wouldn't know that person in Freddy's mind is Ariadne but the Englishman is pretty smart. Maybe he already knows she's told him.]

On my own after two weeks.

[Which means once that sling comes off he's going back in. City Solutions will have to force him out if they don't want him back yet.]

Fair enough. Suppose there's just no regular deskwork for a mechanic. What have you been keeping busy with otherwise?

[orangetoughguy]

I hate deskwork. [Now that he's got his own coffee (iced) he'll slurp it up.]

Worked on a couple models. What's she got you doin' these days?

[signatures]

The usual, though she may be trying to get me to learn more about cars soon.

[ He takes a sip of his own sweet coffee, his appetizer of fried summer rolls appearing at his elbow. ]

[orangetoughguy]

You need help?

[The answer should be 'yes' because they both know who's better under the hood, right??]

[signatures]

Maybe. I'll ask if learning earns me a raise, in any case.

[orangetoughguy]

Man why do you even work if you don't give a shit about what you do?

[Casual question here, no judging.]

[signatures]

To pay bills, to drink, and to gamble, for the most part.

[ He gestures toward their surroundings. ] Else you'd always have to pay, hmm?

[orangetoughguy]

You know just havin' a job don't mean everybody believes it's what's really paying the bills.

[Another shrug because he doesn't doubt Eames would bump his bank account numbers up with less than legal means.]

A cover is a cover. The City is too small to stay a vacationer forever and not raise more suspicion with Miss Agua than I already have.

[orangetoughguy]

Yeah like your filthy lifestyle hasn't done that yet.

[Slurp on his order. It's no intolerant remark either, considering they both know about Freddy's lifestyle too and boy has it come a long way!]

[signatures]

My filthy lifestyle hasn't done anything.
