[A snort as he gets his sandwich.]

If you owe someone, it's Jun for suggesting some of us in POKEGO enter to get funding. I might not have considered, otherwise.

[switchaxe]

Wait, it was Nightroad? Holy shit.

[Go Jun. But talk can wait because Ash needs food, dammit.]

Man, if I thought POKEGO was my speed...

[infezione]

[A nod!] The promise of funding was a strong motivator. I actually needed less initial persuading than some people we could mention.

[Internally, he is looking directly at Waver.]

I don't think anyone would say no to, like, bodyguards and such.

[switchaxe]

Yeah, but...I dunno, they're all nerds?

[Ash. Ash so are you. Ash honey.]

[He just has to take a moment to stare.]

[infezione]

Ash. Caro. Bello. I think that is what they call the pot calling the kettle black.

[switchaxe]

[A beat and then:]

You know what I mean! Specific type of nerd.

[infezione]

[Nope, too busy laughing--]

[switchaxe]

Look me in the eye and tell me I'm wrong! They have fucking Gramps.

[infezione]

They also have Eunie and one of the guys she lives with. I see him around Cygnus--one of the guys who runs the infirmary? He looks like he could snap us in half.

[switchaxe]

...the tall one with the duck?

[infezione]

Yeah, that's the guy.

[switchaxe]

Not gonna lie, if you didn't tell me I would not have guessed. Still, though, not sure it's for me.

[infezione]

Yeah, no, that's fair. [A beat.] Remind me to tell you stories I've heard about the culinary division sometime, though.

[switchaxe]

Do I even wanna know.

[infezione]

They sound hilariously unhinged. The photography department too.

[switchaxe]

Holy shit. Please tell me those stories later, I think we're gonna need 'em.

[infezione]

Yeah, for sure.

[As he leans against Ash a bit as he eats.]

[switchaxe]

[And Ash is perfectly content with this.]

So, did I get the right stuff from Nieri?

[infezione]

You did. He even threw in some things you didn't ask for but were close enough to my tastes. [...] Plus a couple things for us to share.

[switchaxe]

Yeah, I noticed. He's a fuckin' weirdo sometimes, but he's not bad.

[Ash thinks most people in the Order are weirdos, himself included even if he's no longer a member.]

Let's save that stuff for after the bullshit, yeah?

[infezione]

Yeah, for sure. Reward ourselves after we're done.

[... Two of the Unyielding and the city's still standing. That gives Pat some semblance of hope for what's ahead.

They won't be alone, after all, so maybe they can do this.]

[switchaxe]

Damn straight.

[God, he hopes they can do this.]

...hey, Pat?

[infezione]

... Yes?

[switchaxe]

Can't promise I won't end up kissing you stupid in front of people when this is over.

[He was going to say something else, but he doesn't want to raise the death flags.]
