[𝙶𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚝 @HAYAPHANTOM]

Well book it. I'll be there then.

[𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐒 ( 𝐁𝐔𝐓 𝐒𝐎 𝐃𝐎 𝐈 ) @ARMEDMECH]

neither one of us would want to see 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩.

there's one place I'm 100% sure we won't run into strangers skinny dipping.

[𝙶𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚝 @HAYAPHANTOM]

I've got enough ptsd as it is. I don't wanna see what some random joe is slanging.

[𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐒 ( 𝐁𝐔𝐓 𝐒𝐎 𝐃𝐎 𝐈 ) @ARMEDMECH]

I'm pretty sure we won't. didn't see anyone skinny dipping the last time i went.

perhaps i was just lucky.

[𝙶𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚝 @HAYAPHANTOM]

Private beaches eh? You sure we won't run into any skinny dipping will we?

[𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐒 ( 𝐁𝐔𝐓 𝐒𝐎 𝐃𝐎 𝐈 ) @ARMEDMECH]

we could still go to the beach. i know plenty of private ones that don't get overcrowded during the summer months.

as for the swimming issue. . . .we can figure that out later.

[𝙶𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚝 @HAYAPHANTOM]

I'd ask if you wanted to head to a beach. But it'd be awkward if I ran around with this mask on. Swimming would suck as well..

[𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐒 ( 𝐁𝐔𝐓 𝐒𝐎 𝐃𝐎 𝐈 ) @ARMEDMECH]

it remains somewhat hot most of the year, but it tends to feel like a sauna during the summer months. can't really complain though, not when it saves me a couple dollars.

now, I'm sure you're not here just to talk about the heat; am i right?

[𝙶𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚝 @HAYAPHANTOM]

I imagine the shop gets pretty hot. Especially when you gotta get underneath those vehicles....

[𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐒 ( 𝐁𝐔𝐓 𝐒𝐎 𝐃𝐎 𝐈 ) @ARMEDMECH]

I'd say yes, but that would be a total lie.

I barely go anywhere else but my workplace.

[𝙶𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚝 @HAYAPHANTOM]

Eh you get used to it. Have you ever been in a swamp that's so humid that you can swallow the air?

[𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐒 ( 𝐁𝐔𝐓 𝐒𝐎 𝐃𝐎 𝐈 ) @ARMEDMECH]

bleh. too hot.

[𝙶𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚝 @HAYAPHANTOM]

A harsh laugh leaves him. Raspy and dry. "Sorry, I'm killing the mood. You didn't come out here in your favorite jacket to hear me behave like your typical soldier...."

[𝙶𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚝 @HAYAPHANTOM]

"Doesn't take much heart or bravery unfortunately. All it takes is for you to be dumb enough to go along with it. The ignorance will carry you through....until you're too burned to pull out. Until you're too burned to ever let someone take your place."

mari was silent the entire time, eyebrows furrowed in thought as she took another sip whilst listening to his answer. nodding her head every now and then.

glances around to see if the food was on its way; she's starving.

❝ that makes sense. i don't think I'd have the heart--

[𝙶𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚝 @HAYAPHANTOM]

"Hmmm honestly? That's a damn good question." He would think on her words for a bit.

"Some days I love it. Some days I hate it. Depends on how I'm feeling I think. Sometimes I can't handle it....none of it...."

[𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐒 ( 𝐁𝐔𝐓 𝐒𝐎 𝐃𝐎 𝐈 ) @ARMEDMECH]

❝ well, i suppose could say it's about fifty-fifty. i mean, i love this job a lot more than my previous occupation but it's mostly for bill purposes. ❞

she quietly admits with a shrug. uses a self-taught trick to remove the lid before taking a quick swig of her own drink; --

[𝙶𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚝 @HAYAPHANTOM]

They settled down, and the thing he ordered was the meal first and foremost. Settling for a regular beer in the meantime. Turning towards her once it was served up. "You love your job? Or is it just to pay the bills?"

[𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐒 ( 𝐁𝐔𝐓 𝐒𝐎 𝐃𝐎 𝐈 ) @ARMEDMECH]

❝ great. ❞

mari slips her jacket on as she proceeded to quietly follow him to their destinated spot. after working all morning and most of the afternoon, she needed time away from the garage.

the company was a bonus.

[𝙶𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚝 @HAYAPHANTOM]

"yeup" He gestures for her to follow. Leading her to one of his favorite spots nearby. They served drinks and food and weren't usually crowded.

[𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐒 ( 𝐁𝐔𝐓 𝐒𝐎 𝐃𝐎 𝐈 ) @ARMEDMECH]

I'll consider that a done deal then.

shall we go?

[𝙶𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚝 @HAYAPHANTOM]

A drink? Sounds good to me. That's perfect really.

Will take the edge off for sure.

[𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐒 ( 𝐁𝐔𝐓 𝐒𝐎 𝐃𝐎 𝐈 ) @ARMEDMECH]

no, no, there's no need for that ── fish and chips is just fine. I'm not that fussy.

but you could include a drink. I'm in need of a strong one.

[𝙶𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚝 @HAYAPHANTOM]

Or maybe you had a taste for something else? If so, we can make some last minutes changes...

[𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐒 ( 𝐁𝐔𝐓 𝐒𝐎 𝐃𝐎 𝐈 ) @ARMEDMECH]

i suppose i can't say no to that kind offer.

sure, i'll join you.

[𝙶𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚝 @HAYAPHANTOM]

Some fish and chips. Interested in joinin' me?

[𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐁𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐒 ( 𝐁𝐔𝐓 𝐒𝐎 𝐃𝐎 𝐈 ) @ARMEDMECH]

what does the 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙧 need?

[𝙶𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚝 @HAYAPHANTOM]

@ARMEDMECH "I thought it'd be something at least a tad bit inconvenient. But you were nice enough to spare me from such a fate.

I'll bring the car to ya soon. I expect you to treat her like you'd treat your baby."

[𝙶𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚝 @HAYAPHANTOM]

@ARMEDMECH

"What if I said that I had a car...or bike that needed repairs? Do I get a discount? Or?"

[𝙶𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚝 @HAYAPHANTOM]

@ARMEDMECH "That's all? Count me in then. Although I gotta warn you. My war stories might bore ya. MIGHT....

Or maybe they won't. Hard to tell as of now."

[𝙶𝚑𝚘𝚜𝚝 @HAYAPHANTOM]

@ARMEDMECH "Bloody h-

Fine. What's the condition eh?"
