BECAUSE WE GIVE NEGATIVE SHITS AND LOVE SUBWAYS

[tsuntrader]

IT'S PRETTY SELF EXPLANATORY MAN

SILVER'S EXISTENCE CREATES INTERESTING PROBLEMS

SUBWAY DEPOT AGENTS ARE ALL PRECIOUS BABBIES

HILDA IS CRAZY

EMMET IS SAD

INGO IS DATING ELESA?!?!?!

AND SOMEHOW WE WILL ALL WORK IT OUT LIKE A COMPLETELY DYSFUNCTIONAL SUBWAY FAMILY

BECAUSE WE CAN

AND ENTER HILBERT

[And it's relieving. It's especially relieving to walk into the apartment with all of the eager Joltik and Emmet seeming brighter than he's been in a while, despite the situation.]

Thanks.

[He doesn't acknowledge Emmet or the Joltik further before he wanders into the kitchen for a moment to put down his plastic bag of food, only pulling out said banana bread to bring to him. Once he has that and returns, however, he's more receptive to saying hello to the Joltik- hi Joltik, he's happy to see you too, alright you can come climb on his lap as he goes to sit down next to his dad.]

[infinitegrin]

Thanks again for your help, Silver. How's everyone doing down there?

[C'mere babies let Emmet pet you with his good hand.]

I'm sure Cloud and Ramses are keeping things organized, of course.

[tsuntrader]

You got it. they're doing a lot more than I am. [Mostly because Silver only. Half knows what he's doing at best. Emmet closed the Battle Subway, so he cut off the one thing he could probably manage to do well.

But hey. Banana bread is being put in your lap. ...Mostly because he needs his hands to give all the babies attention. Some in his hair, some on his shoulders, on his lap, climbing up his back and arms- all is well in the world.]

[infinitegrin]

Well, that's good, that's what I'm paying them for!

[Ooh, banana bread! His favorite! He'll push away the greedy little joltik and eat it, piece by piece.]

Thank you for helping, too. I should give you a paycheck, too, since you're basically doing temp work.

[tsuntrader]

[Yeah come here, guys. Leave dad alone. He's pulling something out of his pocket for...

Pay...check...?]

It's okay. Save that money for you and Ingo.

[infinitegrin]

Now, now! You're working for us, so you're getting paid. Fair is fair!

[Here, have hair ruffles, don't you object again!]

[tsuntrader]

[Wh- but-]

I already have enough money. [Where is it, come on pockets, where is it--]

[infinitegrin]

...? What are you digging around for?

[We should get you a backpack... he'll bring that up with Ingo later.]

[tsuntrader]

[Where is it, where is it- there we go.

It's... A balloon. And he wastes no time in blowing it up.]

[infinitegrin]

...???

[What the shit.]

[tsuntrader]

[He doesn't fill it too much, as he wants to make sure it doesn't pop, but once he ties it, he starts rubbing it on his knee.

Static electricity. Only a few at a time, Joltik.]

[infinitegrin]

Oh! What a good idea! Hahah, very resourceful.

[tsuntrader]

It's a nice treat. [And cheap. ...Especially cheap.]

[infinitegrin]

[The joltik certainly enjoy it!]

So, about how much do you work over there, again?

[tsuntrader]

[...Uh...

How. How keep track of time...]

[infinitegrin]

...Hah. How much of the day? Part of it? All of it?

[tsuntrader]

I won't accept any money.

[infinitegrin]

Come on, come on.

[tsuntrader]

I already have a lot of money.

[infinitegrin]

Not from what I remember!

[tsuntrader]

I made money while I was away.

[infinitegrin]

Ah huh.

[tsuntrader]

[Emmet why don't you believe him.

He sighs and opens his jacket, rummages through one of its hidden pockets (thank you Blue,) and pulls out a decently sized wad of money.

It's a lot of money.]

1/2

[infinitegrin]

[infinitegrin]

You... you didn't steal that, right??
