Don't type that so loudly. Before you know it, you'll have some sort of weird zombie approaching you.

[ This may not be Deerington, but you never know. You never know. Somewhere between the out of control powers and the crabs that apparently attacked people here upon arrival, Ange is so not putting those sorts of shenanigans beyond this place. ]

But.. anyway, I just wanted to say.. [ Can you tell she's waffling because she's awkward.

Because that's exactly what's happening. ]

I owe you one for this. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you at any point.

[ Mako can definitely tell she's waffling because saying things like that is hard and awkward, and for him, at least, offering yourself up for some future unclaimed favor is—

It's hard. It's a gesture of trust, and it's kind of touching, and Mako isn't about to play selfless and brush it off. He knows what he'd want someone to respond with, and he appreciates it. ]

Not a problem. I'll keep it in mind. You're a useful person to have around.

[ It sounds maybe a little callous, Mako reflects moments after he sends it, and frowns. ]

Which is a good thing.

For the record.

[ This truly is the smoothest text Mako has sent in his entire life, isn't it.

And while Ange gets the intent behind it, even before he writes that it's a good thing - because it's exactly the kind of 'smooth text' Ange herself would send - the instinctive reply can't be anything but: ]

That's something someone might say about a spatula.

[ You know.

Being useful to have around. ]

But I'll take the compliment.

[ THE SMOOTHEST.

He glares uselessly down at the Omni for a long moment, fighting a smile. At least Ange gets it. At least she's teasing, which means he probably didn't offend her horribly. That's something. ]

I'll keep an eye on Ruby for you, Spatula.

i think that's a wrap!

[entreats]

[ She sees what you did there, Mako.

But she won't protest it. If not just because Mako might just be the sole person in this entire town she can trust with this sort of dumb joke, considering he won't parrot it to absolutely everyone here. Let alone Ruby. Bless this introvert club. ]

Thanks. Good luck.
