His determination to flirt in the face of graphic threats was almost as impressive as it was irritating. "Pretty good't findin' shit," she said, "an' you're pretty fulla't. 'Course bein' on th'small side works'n your favor here." It may have been a creepier statement on his part if she were harder to find. It was never a matter of not getting found, where Kreska was concerned. It was more a matter of who she was found hiding behind, and how fast she could get behind her shield of choice.
She snorted, a hum that wasn't a laugh. "Yeah," she said, "thassit f'sure." Hits were rare, as these things went, vague things that never used her name to avoid setting off any alarms. She almost preferred those, because she'd earned them. Not so much the other things that went bump during the night shifts.
"'ll try not t'hang up'f ya try not t'gimme reasons to," she said, which was suspiciously close to using her own safety as a threat. Don't make me endanger myself, and really, it wasn't as if she was above stating that directly. But she was not yet at the stage where she trusted him not to call that particular bluff. "Mmm – lotta excuses y'got there. Tell me more 'bout how you're usually way better't this an' all'is disappointment's just a fluke. Try'n make't sound like y'ain't said't before."
She'd been upgraded from dame to princess, which was a far cry from toots. Her rank was increasing exponentially. Soon she'd be an empress, conversationally. Unless he decided which one he liked well enough to stick with.
Kreska disliked this plan for any number of reasons. Disliked slow and disliked feeling watched and disliked that this plan left her at the mercy of someone else's competence. She grumbled as she wiggled sideways and backward and upside-down out of her spot, because gratuitous and unnecessary floor gymnastics ran in the family. "Great," she muttered, "just blend right in. Great plan. Fukken' flawless." Bandaged hand jammed in her pocket as she ambled and slouched in an aimless-looking way, she ran the other over the unbraided portions of her hair back to rights.
