[ why is everything about boundaries lately? SHE DOESNT EVEN KNOW WHAT HERS ARE. the only time she realizes someone might have crossed some sort of line is when she is gutting them in the living room. she looks uncomfortable with the whole idea, dropping off her toes and clasping her hands together in front of her, somehow resisting the urge to give into her nervous habit. ]
I will.
[ probably not. ]
I should go. [ a+ subject change. ] And you should go home. The books are right for once and I'm coming in tomorrow morning to finish cleaning out the back room so there's nothing for you to do.
[ bossy. at least it doesn't come off like that, just concern and reassurance that they've got this and he can go home and rest like he is supposed to. giving her the keys was brilliant. might have turned her into a bit of a workaholic because it's such a great distraction, but her pragmatic mind is great for business. ]
[He does not mind the bossiness at all, because the moment she changes the topic, he has latched onto one thing he rarely, if ever, uses. Gets to use. Pretends like he would never use, this serious grim guy who has no idea what a smile is unless there is a dog around and no humans to witness it. He lets her finish, naturally, and slides himself along the counter to stand back up, sighing at the minor stretch as he, for all intents and purposes, seems ready to walk the hell out that door right this moment.
Go with the flow.
Follow the boss's advice.
It's a trap. Oh God.]
If you will, then... [A set of knuckles raps against the counter once as he turns to the dog on the floor, still sleeping.] ...better guess I should Will, too.
[He also will probably not.
This is also pretty terrible.
He knows. Okay. He knows. He's getting back into the game, okay? OKAY?]
[WOW NO HE IS A CRASHING WAVE HE IS A FUCKING TSUNAMI OF DOES WHAT HE WANTS HE DOES NOT TAKE ORDERS FROM ANYONE OR ANYTHING NO GOD HUMAN DEVIL ANGEL OR IN BETWEEN CAN STOP THIS DOG-FIGHTING FISHMAN WHO THE FUCK DOES ABIGAIL HOBBS THINK SHE IS
