Looks like I'm stuck not working until I can use . my weapon again. Guess we better hope things stay quiet - weird, but quiet.

And don't think _ I won't still kick your ass if you try anything.

[It was understandable for someone like Cloud, having never known Trust let alone what all the contract entailed, to assume that Smoke was being metaphorical. But the truth was that he wasn't. It was an incredibly strong bond that Smoke and Trust had forged; they'd been friends before, but being contracted partners after that... and then when Trust disappeared. It'd hurt like hell when he first escaped the elevator and he realized what'd happened. Now it was a dull ache he lived with, like some people lived with a lost eye.]

I wouldn't mind a snack. I'm supposed to meet Amurui later. [He pulled his hands out of his pockets again to hang them loose] As long as it's someplace that won't give us crap for being ... like this.

[Unfortunately, Cloud couldn't read Smoke's mind, or really understand how deep the bond had been. If Smoke wanted to explain it further, that was his business... for now, Cloud was only able to assume things based on his own experiences.

He shrugged a little.] We've got money, it's not like we're asking for free food. A lot of people probably know there are more kids than there should be running around--it's been mentioned a few times over the journals.

[And they could always leave, if the restaurant they picked gave them any trouble.]

And yet that guy wouldn't let me buy cigs. [He jerked his thumb behind him] But alright. You pick.
