Haw?

Ya got that much faith in me already?

[disreguarded]

Yeah. [ sniff. ] A dude that kills for fun and for no reason doesn't teach half blind kids how to adjust or agree to hold a girl's hand just because she's sad.

[ he gives her a lopsided smile, then punches her shoulder with his free hand. ]

How do ya know I'm not a world-class actor, expertly craftin' that exact image in yer mind?

[disreguarded]

[ a watery giggle. ]

Because I've fucking seen you dance, and nobody that bad at dancing is that good of an actor. [ those two things don't even go together, beau ]

[haw]

—All right, now yer startin' to strike a nerve.

[disreguarded]

What, that's the turning point? [ she's trying not to laugh still ]

[haw]

[ if she's having a hard time keeping a straight face, he's gonna start to crack, too... ]

I dunno, maybe that fuckin' assault ya launched yesterday's finally gettin' to me.

[disreguarded]

[ sometimes it's nice to feel like laughing after a disaster. she's not trying too hard. ]

Yeah, that's definitely how I operate when it comes to assaults. Methodically and over time.
