(TXT to August) Ruiz: I owe you a debt of gratitude. and possibly a debt of cold, hard cash, too. how's the car?
(TXT to Ruiz) August: eh. you guys pulled me out of a bullshit situation, I'm just repaying the favor. no worries. and Itzhak's going to fix it up so I can trade it in. I needed a newer one anyways, thing has almost 200k on it.
(TXT to August) Ruiz: It's not just repaying a fucking favour, so don't try that with me
(TXT to August) Ruiz: And if you need a hand with any of it, let me know
(TXT to Ruiz) August: you sure are being surly about this. did you not see the coffee in the coffee maker, that whole pot wasn't for me.
(TXT to Ruiz) August: but I appreciate the offer. and will do.
(TXT to Ruiz) August: and keep an eye out. that bastard is still out there. who knows what he's going to do next.
(TXT to August) Ruiz: You'd be surly too, some asshole fucked with your head and tried to turn the people you care about against you
(TXT to August) Ruiz: Not that I fucking care about you. don't read into it.
(TXT to Ruiz) August: it's true, I would be. or whining. actually I'd probably do some of both. but that's what the coffe is for. anyways 'tried' is the operative word here, he underestimated how stubborn we all are. we don't give up on anyone that easy.
(TXT to Ruiz) August: I would never assume such a thing, rest assured.
(TXT to August) Ruiz: I did have some coffee, it wasn't bad.
(TXT to August) Ruiz: (...)
(TXT to August) Ruiz: Anyway, still owe you dinner some time. At my place. promise I won't blow up your car. Unless you deserve it.
(TXT to Ruiz) August: 'not bad' that was from vietnam it was better than not bad, don't lie to me.
(TXT to August) Ruiz: Yeah, it was all right.
(TXT to Ruiz) August: sounds fair. did itzhak give you the gun back? unless you get whammied again that is the one and only time I'm fixing it
(TXT to August) Ruiz: What? no, he didn't. That prick, he's fucking holding out on me
(TXT to Ruiz) August: well feel free to sort out how to get it back from him. if you're cooking, I'll bring wine. or, beer. whatever.
(TXT to August) Ruiz: Sounds like you're advocating violence. I'll let him know it was your idea
(TXT to Ruiz) August: I make no claim to know how you two settle that sort of thing.
(TXT to Ruiz) August: in my case removal of clothes is usually the shortcut to a fair trade.
(TXT to August) Ruiz: I can't believe we're having this conversation
(TXT to Ruiz) August: you're the one who said he was holding out on you
(TXT to August) Ruiz: Are you trying to give me advice about my sex life
(TXT to August) Ruiz: Not like THAT
(TXT to Ruiz) August: that's another thing I would not presume to do
(TXT to August) Ruiz: You just fucking did!
(TXT to Ruiz) August: that wasn't advice so much as an example of how violence might not be necessary.
(TXT to August) Ruiz: Oh, if clothes are coming off, there's going to be violence
(TXT to Ruiz) August: well NOW I'm never healing a single stray injury on him again.
(TXT to August) Ruiz: (...)
(TXT to August) Ruiz: Well, you asked
(TXT to Ruiz) August: I did in fact leave myself open to that one. just know that if I see an obvious bite mark on him and give him a Look it was your fault for confirming the source.
(TXT to August) Ruiz: Who the fuck else would be leaving bite marks on him? god, Roen
(TXT to August) Ruiz: I mean Bex might be capable, I don't knhow
(TXT to August) Ruiz: know
(TXT to Ruiz) August: I'm going to plead the fifth on this one. but I have my reasons for feeling bite marks may easily come from more than one source.
(TXT to August) Ruiz: What fucking reasons
(TXT to August) Ruiz: start talking
(TXT to Ruiz) August: I seem to recall Itzhak saying Rebecca turned into a cougar when you were all being hunted
(TXT to Ruiz) August: and Isolde is the one who gave him that scar on his bow arm
(TXT to Ruiz) August: women like that? IME, they bite.
(TXT to August) Ruiz: That's why I said she might be capable. Isolde? you think she's a biter?
(TXT to Ruiz) August: she shocked him half to death to save him. I promise you she is.
(TXT to Ruiz) August: also if he sees this text message history he's going to spontaneously combust
(TXT to August) Ruiz: hmm, hot. Obviously I'm not going to tell him about it
(TXT to Ruiz) August: I mean neither am I but I know accidents happen.
(TXT to August) Ruiz: Anyway, thank you.
(TXT to August) Ruiz: I owe you. talk soon.
(TXT to Ruiz) August: you're welcome. take care.
