"Do I have your word that you won't run?"
---
"I made it better!"
Matthew shakes his head and drinks his coffee.
---
"Yeeeah, probably not."

"I'm not going to run."
--
".. What exactly did you do to it?"
--
She pouts. "Did you tell her it was me?"

"Now lie down."
---
"Noothing!"
"Rewrote it how she wanted then ripped up the originals."
---
He looks to the side. "I miiight have said a few things that weren't so complimentary."

".. So what was your answer concerning the bath and food? Was that a yes?"
--
He snorts.
--
"Stepheeeen. Why did you do that? I'm going to have a horrible reputation! .. Did you tell her that you happened to be trying to tackle me while I was being shot at? Hm?" She gives him a stern look.

"You may choose - your own room, or the bath and food."
---
"Mine was better!"
---
"She knows what my job is."

"Why the hell should I have to choose? It should be a complete package."
--
"Was it?"
--
She folds her arms and glares at the wall. "So none of it's your fault, hm?"

"It isn't. Choose."
---
"It was!"
"Those are my family's schedules. You can't change them that drastically."
---
"I wasn't left with any choice." He starts to clench and unclench his fists.

"This isn't hospitality at all. I really expected a more professional setting." He sits and adjusts his hat. "I'll take the bath and the food, if you don't mind."
--
"She thought she could."
--
"You were just going to hand Richard over to that horrible man. And he probably would have killed me. A paycheck well earned, I hope."

"Very well. Roll up your sleeves and hold out your arms."
Edan's blanket starts scooching over.
---
"She can make some changes. Not that many."
---
"You weren't going to be killed."

He roooolls the sleeves up. "I can only assume this is going to feel awful." He holds up the arms.
--
"Why not?"
--
"How do you know that?"

"Of course." He pulls out an oridinary knife and puts a thin slice into one of the arms.
---
"My parents do look over these."
Sparrow rolls her eyes. "Pfffft."
---
"The plan was to let you go."

Nat wrinkles his nose and watches.

Russ smirks.

"So there was a plan? You helped him plan that?" Frown!

Then he pulls out a gold knife and does the same to the other arm.
Edan's hand creeps out from under the blanket at taps at Byron's shoe.
---
"I have brilliant ideas!"
"Yes, but I'm not going to ruin things with my family." Matthew rubs his head.
---
"I didn't help with the damn plan! You just.. gah!" He turns to stomp away.

This time there's a hiss from Nat. He continues watching!
--
"Would it really ruin things?"
--
She stands, glaring after him. "Don't you gah me! You'd be the same way if he'd been trying to trap your wife!"

He cleans the knife on Edan's blanket and steps on the hand. "And now you can take a bath."
Edan peeks out. "I want a bath."
---
"It could."
---
He ruuuns.
