If you're uninfected and you need food: I have a backstock of frozen meat from the monster hunt and cans of fruits/vegetables I scavenged months ago. You can have a portion, come to 701.

If you're infected: I will kill you on sight. You'll thank me later.

[fair enough. though boss is crazy, he's actually being for realsies. he's bored and he'd rather not have people who don't know how to use the network clogging it up.]

Well unless you have bullets or smokes, I don't want anything from you, anyway. It's just better in the long run if we can all communicate properly.

[fictionalised]

Oh! Well, I'm not going to say no to a free... anything.

[ hawke shrugs, as if he doesn't really care whether he learns to use it or not. it would actually be pretty helpful, though. ]

Don't tell me you're actually going to make it a class, though. It already sounds terrible. Just listen to it. "Phone class." Awful.

[john barks a laugh.]

You're right. And it's not my field of expertise, anyway, I'll leave that up to the experts. In the meantime, should I meet you?

[fictionalised]

Not if you're going to kill me on sight, you shouldn't. I hear that hurts.

[ sort of a weird thing to announce. hawke would totally do the same if it came down to it, but it's different when hawke, the most important person in the world, could be hurt. ]

I'm not infected. Maybe. I'm seventy-five percent sure.

[camouflage]

I can see you're not infected. So, unless you have a hankering for human flesh, I think you'll be fine.

[your precious hide is safe, hawke.]

[fictionalised]

So then this would be a bad time to tell you that I had baby legs for breakfast.

[ he clearly thinks that was a good one. ]

If you're that desperate for something to do, go ahead. I'm excellent company. [ a pause. might as well take as much advantage of someone offering help as possible... ] You can feed me, while you're at it.

[hardy har HAR.]

Well, if you try to bite me, I'll make sure you don't. [that's his version of a joke. laugh, hawke.] High-maintenace, I see. Where you want to meet?

[fictionalised]

[ it worked... incredible ]

Unless you're hoping for a romantic setting for our clandestine encounter, I'll come to you.

[ although as long as there's free food he'll eat it by candlelight, hawke was born without the part of the brain that feels shame and has dignity. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ]

[camouflage]

I'll pass, thanks anyway. Come over whenever you want.

[great they'll be best friends, then.]

[ hawke doesn't even respond because fuck phones. he somehow takes an hour to get there despite it being in the same spire. KNOCK, KNOCK, boss. the second the door opens he'll hold his hand out, palm up, and say ] Food first.
