@ManipulativeSin his brothers warning tone scares Finch a lot more then Crowleys tone does.
he smiles at Crowley as he sits down, holding his grip on his brothers wrist as he does โmy apologies, my brother can get a little.. overzealousโ
@ManipulativeSin his grip on his drink tightening as he moves the glass upwards.
just then Robin appears, grabbing Finch his wrist. just in time, a bit of his drink sloching around the glass and spilling over the edgeโhow about we do not throw a drink in that mans face Finchieโ he whispers. +
@ManipulativeSin he scoffs, brows furrowing โyou really are a useless bunch of creatures arenโt you? no wonder iโve killed so many of you without a struggle..โ
@ManipulativeSin knowledge that those two still have each other despite everything makes him want to burn the world down. then heaven and hell too for good measure.
he swallows the lump in his throat โso you can give me fame or money.. even extra inches but you canโt give me anything useful?โ +
@ManipulativeSin then, to limit my powerโ he whispers, his voice cracking โbut i just want to be with my brother again, retire and go back to school. so give me the rest of our natural lives and youโll get my soul in the endโ
@ManipulativeSin โwell then maybe for centuries people have been making stupid dealsโ he scoffs. fidgeting with the coaster of his drink.
โi want.. my brother backโ he whispers, not making eye contact with the man. โiโm not asking to be famous or rich, i could understand a ten year cut off +
Finch is leaning back in the passengers seat of his van, feet up on the drivers seat.
the side door of the van is open so the sound of his guitar can be heard if you walk past. his brother isnโt around so heโs enjoying a moment of peace.
@ManipulativeSin Finch supposes then that he has to persuade Crowley. but before making any decisions he wants argue for some better terms
โ10 years.. thatโs barely any time at allโ he sighs โcan i make a deal for longer? i mean youโll get my soul all the same in the end why care when it arrives
@TwistedRegret he lets his forehead drop onto the bar โand iโd have to pay for that with money huh? no other way?โ he sighs. he definitely doesnโt have a hundred bucks to waste on getting drunk for one night.
โokay next drink, the cheap stuff, as long as itโs still drinkable pleaseโ he sighs.
@TwistedRegret Finch barely has the energy to give a smile despite his usual cheery nature. โreally? thank youโ
once the glass is poured he immediately takes it and takes a sip. โyou are right.. way better than the cheap stuffโ he groans โnow i need an entire bottle of itโ
@ManipulativeSin โyou make deals right?โ he tilts his head, laughing nervously.
โiโm not stupid so donโt lie to me. i know the whole trick is you come back to collect earlier than people would want you to but.. but how long usually? 10 years? 20..?โ Finch asks. โhow long before you get my soul?โ
