"What kind of reasons? Or is this about the compliments again?" Fate slid a HUD over his eyes and the screens flowed onto it, tiny beams of light that filtered through the implant and gave him a much closer view of the action. It was also much better in terms of multitaskability. "I will absolutely avoid those. Very soon, your face will have extremely unattractive tusks. Many of them. And you'll be bald. Ugh. I'll leave your ass unedited though, because it's already gross. Better?"
As per usual for Fate, it was likely "better" when he stopped before finishing the rest of his thoughts aloud, a feat rendered impossible by the fact his brain was wired to process far too many of them simultaneously. The act of typing was often an intermediary filter. Considering this, he began looping the hookup cable over his right arm. Having more things to do would keep him from rambling, he was sure.
"I was going for the sympathy plea. You're not the only one who knows when to get gone." He lifted the cord and stood, the chair rolling back from the desk. "Things happen. Not often, but it's a load of drek when they do."
"Absolute drek," he murmured as she popped back into the street with only a mild complaint. The cable unraveled as he walked around the back of the beverage unit. Pulling off the back of the unit was a cinch, but the real work would come from the circuits. "Let's see what's wrong with you, pretty thing." It took a frozen moment for him to continue with, "Not you, you. My kitchen. Sorry. You're presently hideous and I already know what's wrong in your case, so...ah. Carry on."
Had he really thought poking at a shamble of circuits would help him filter? Fate grumbled at the mess in front of him. Both of them. At least the drones hadn't moved on her position, and she was putting some distance between her ass--which wasn't actually hideous at all, and he probably would best stop focusing on it, really, before his mouth took that thought and rolled with it--and the bounty hunters' tech. "Flawless," he agreed aloud, and not about the plan. Mercifully reduced to the single word as he ripped out a fried board and tossed it in a pile of similarly damaged crap across the room.
Huzzah for thought-filters. Maybe.
And then, because instead of looking casual she looked damned uncomfortable, he added, "Loosen up, green girl. Even your overlay looks shifty. Tell you what. You get to your little haz-mat hole in one--okay, the exact number of pieces you're in now--and I'll deliver that beer."

Dreams come in a size too big so we can grow into them.
