*Price and Maitho meet up briefly at a food stall to discuss various goings on both above and under ground.* Maitho: And when is the wedding already? Price: Why, so ya can coordinate sh*t? [/Smirking] Maitho: Of course not... *flatly* Ant already made sure that I would have no part in anything but flowers. Price: Yer not gonna give her a bouquet of flowers that means 'f*ck you' are ya? Maitho: *actually laughs at that* No no, I'd be happy for her, sincerely. Probably something more along the lines of "happiness" and "here's to that baker's dozen of children you probably want." Price: That's sweet. *chuckles* Yanno, ever since ya told me flowers had meanings, I have to wonder how many times ya would get passive aggressive with them. Maitho: I do get that way from time to time, but flowers meant different things at different times. Makes it easier to mess with people... but I wouldn't want to ruin someone's wedding or funeral. Baby showers are free game, though. Price: A'course they are.... speak'n of. How's that boy of yers? [/Raises an eyebrow] His lil' boyfriend has been causing trouble for the both of us, I know. Maitho: I haven't spoken to him since we dropped him off, but Sweet Baby's watching him until I have time. I've been very busy is all. Price: Might be whats sav'n yer a**. God knows what that'd punk do to the 'estranged father' figure. Maitho: Who knows? *sighs* Anyway, I'm sorry about your leg, but at least you had a healer to take care of it. I'll make sure to get Sweet Baby to poison the kid's drink or whatever. Won't kill him, but it might make you feel better. Price: ...Won't lie, it might. *snorts* Maybe a case of the runs will make him less stuck up. [/stifles his laugh at the thought] Maitho: As long as he doesn't take that temper out on Rowan, it's fine. Price: I doubt he'd do that- but by any case I'm just jok'n. [/He rolls his eyes] Don't actually have that freak poison him. Maitho: ...I almost corrected you on calling Sweet a freak, but you're right. Price: Look I like to think I'm a open minded guy- but no matter how I look at it, that guy has issues. [/Shakes his head] If it weren't fer Lucky's word on the matter... Maitho: ...yeah, about that... Maitho: You do know what Fortune does, right? Not the drag club and prostitution bit, that's fine, but the rest. Price: Well I know he's got some connections with us... but s'bout it. [/Looks at him curiously] Whats 'the rest'? Maitho: ...I can't say much, but let's just say you're not the only one who's been in debt. Mine are new and haven't been cleared yet is all. *sighs* Especially with this Rowan business going on. Price: [/surprised] He's a loan shark? Maitho: Of a... sort, I suppose you could say. With that in mind, if you start hearing about things that are little too close to the old days for comfort, just remember that it's not always personal. Price: Honestly, m'surprised if he was on that side of the feild, how I haven't seen him before. *shrugs* Then again, I got my debts from gambl'n, not borrow'n. Maitho: He deals in favors, not money. The whole reason I started working at Sass was because Ginger was one of his interests, or at least that's the story I was given. Price: Huh... so yer not work'n where yer work'n entirely 'cause you want to, but 'cause you have to? Maitho: A bit... but that's only for a month. After that, I'm free to do what I like... although Rowan's boarding requires a different means of "payment" as it were. Price: Aw geeze... [/He gets uncomfortable with this new information, making a face] Shouldn' that be all the MC's debt though- not yours? Maitho: *shakes his head* Not really since if we couldn't find a way to manage the situation, he would be dead. I found a way, so it's my debt. Besides, I'm his in for the MC. He does want to help, genuinely, so please, don't misunderstand why I'm telling you all of this. Price: I... guess. Just... agh, here I was think'n Lucky was the one guy without a shady past. [/Rolls his eyes] Guess that was kinda a a**holy thing to say though- considering how he's work'n the slums an' sh*t. An't no one here without some dirt on 'im. Maitho: Exactly. *smiles* And don't worry about the debt I've got with him. They aren't very big, and they help me out in their own way. I'm settled in now, and I'll have a safer outlet than when I pick my own targets. He's not "charging" me anything for that Elite punk either since there's nothing we could've done about it. He's reasonable. Price: That's good... oi' an' Elwood? You've been able to keep him under control? Maitho: Perfect control. *You know, besides the whole Mai thing.* All you guys really had to do was loosen the chain just a little, and he would've behaved for you too. Price: Could ya blame us for freak'n after he attacked James though? He has knives for hands. Maitho: I'm not blaming you for that. He was being overprotective is all... which makes him more than useful for me up here. Not that I don't enjoy his company as it is. Price: Just make sure he doesn't get 'overprotective' on the wrong person, 'ight? Yer not underground anymore, what happens up there might not reach us in time. Maitho: It will through Oliver. Maitho: I'm just being nice by talking to you like this instead of using him. Price: Yer generosity knows no bounds. [/Sarcastic as he lights a smoke] Maitho: Come on now, I just told you the truth about Fortune. He won't turn on you because I said something, but it'll help even the playing the field. Price: That's true. [/Sighs] S'good ya told me that, I mean that. I'm not gonna talk to 'im any different or sh*t, but it does seem like somethin' I need to know. Maitho: It is, now anyway, since I heard rumors that Ant met with him at Promise Lane once already. *chuckles* Don't you think you should be worried? With him inviting her to meet with him at a brothel? I mean, it's a really nice place, but that kind of makes it worse. Price: [/Almost burst out laughing] Yeah, that was completely her intention. Nah, nah... she was just picking up the bangle Aidric gave her. She gave it to to the punk to use as a token fer information. Maitho: Aww, you're not as much fun as you used to be. *pauses* But wait? Why would she offer something that Aidric gave her? Price: Almost asked that too, and seein' how he nearly destroyed it, she must of regretted the decision... but the logic was that she wouldn't take her hands off it fer any reason, making it a perfect 'peace offer'n'. Maitho: ...he almost destroyed it? That's very cold of him. Price: Melted it in his hand... but he sprung it back up, and it's just the same as before... I think. Annie would know the better details of the thing than I. [/Sighs] Maitho: True. but you'd better tell her to never give that away again, or I'll kill her myself. There's not much of Aidric left in this world. His coat was taken, and his body was never found. *grits his teeth* ...because I know now that body Val took me to wasn't Aidric's. It was another lie. I'm sure of it. Price: [/Frowns] Svarc will get his- he really took you to a fake body? That was a pretty sh*tty thing of him to do. [/Makes a hand gesture, even if he can't see it] I mean, yanno. Besides all the other sh*tty things... Maitho: ...but it doesn't matter. Even if all he told me were lies, what I felt wasn't one. *smiles* But yes, he did take me to a fake Aidric. I don't doubt that... but it also makes me wonder. It could be that Aidric is still alive. Price: ...Maybe... But he took a bullet to the head and fell off a cliff. Into the ocean. It'd be harmful to think anyone could survive that. Maitho: Even so, when this war is over, I'll go looking for him. It'd take more than a bullet to kill Aidric. Price: ...You could be chasing a shadow. You know that right? Maitho: Would it matter? That's all I've ever really done when I think about it. Price: Has it? I wouldn't really know. [/He bites the inside of his cheek in thought] Just... don't go off the deep end again. I hope ya find some kind of closure, I do. Maitho: ...you don't have to worry, I'll be fine. My work keeps me busy, but as long as I'm dong something, I'll be all right. It's what kept me so well behaved before you, after all. Price: Behaved... [/Decides not to comment on it and taps the ash off to the side] We're all gonna be real busy for the next few months so don't worry about that. Maitho: I know. We'll be fine, better than once I start running that business. Price: Once you start running... aren't you already doing a brothel thing? Maitho: I'm not running it, no. *He brushes his hair aside, and there's a dark bruise on his neck.* It's not for much longer. Price: Eh? The hell ya plann'n now Buttercu- oi. [/His tone flattens] How the f*ck did that happen? Maitho: *He puts his hair back over it to hide it again.* You can't expect girls like that to listen, not entirely anyway, unless you put yourself in their shoes first. That's all I've done, really, nothing too serious. Price: One of your girls did this?! Maitho: *chuckles* No no... Do I really have to spell it out for you? I'm a prostitute right now, but after this month is up, I can more or less run that place myself. The current manager could care less about keeping it running. Price: Jesus f*ck- a customer then? [/He pinches his brow] I really don't get those kinds of a**holes, I hope ya'll threw him out on his sorry a**. Maitho: It was just a bite. *hums* But yes, he's being dealt with, so you don't have to worry. I can take care of myself. Price: The hell goes through their heads... they wanna go an' rough someone up, take it to the sandbox! [/He leans back, somewhat fuming for some reason] Not gonna ask how yer 'dealing' with people like that... but I won't stop you. Just f*ck'n be careful. Maitho: *smiles* I will be. Oh, and she doesn't work at my place, but Christi still says hello. Prince: [/Blank] ...Who? Maitho: Tch, Christina. You really never asked their names? Talk about rude. Price: [/Embarrassed] Well- no.-yo- [/Clears his throat] I must of gotten' it then but I can't go about remembering every girl, 'okay? Maitho: Still awful~ But she remembers you even if she isn't a street girl anymore, got promoted to a brothel. Two little ones as well, but they aren't yours. I did some extra digging to make sure. Price: [/Clenches his teeth, but not out of anger] I do use protection. 'sides if there was a slip up I'd know by now. Maitho: *flatly* Keep telling yourself that. Price: ...I know ya had a diffrent situation. I an't try'n to pick on you. Maitho: I know you're not, but you might want to watch your mouth. If a gay man can father a child without knowing it, who else could? Price: Ya have a point. [/Huffs] Just don't want to look like a possible deadbeat, yanno? Maitho: You wouldn't be. I am because I honestly don't care about Rowan, but you'd care about your own. I know you would. Price: [/Shrugs] ....Kids want to feel wanted... st'a strange thing to explain. [/He puts out his smoke] ...This topic is a little weird, don't you think? Lets move on. Maitho: There's not much more to talk about to be honest. Haydn and I have a date anyway, and while we didn't plan a time, it probably should be soon. Price: A date? [/...He's never going to grasp what kind of relationship those two have is he?] Alright then. Don't let me keep ya. Maitho: I won't. *He stands and leaves some money.* To pay you back for when I left. Price: [/He takes it and looks at him] Thanks for this. I wasn't expecting it back- if sh*t goes down there, just remember where we are. Maitho: I will, and just remember I always have contact with Oliver. If something goes wrong, I'll have him tell you first. |
