Rin laughed as she followed after Otto and then took to walking shoulder to shoulder with him. "How the hell did you break a window in the first place?" She hoped it was a long story.

"Remember that hurricane we got?" Unfortunately for Rin, it wasn't much of a tall tale. Somethin' smashed the window in my bedroom. "It took a while to clean up after."

"Then I don't get why he gave you a hard time, s'not like you were playing baseball in there," Rin decided to elongate the story a bit. "The hell could it 'ave been about?"

Otto gave the woman an obnoxious looking expression full of snark that had otherwise been dormant.
"You don't find the guy the least bit pompous? I think you're missin' more than just an arm?" He tapped at his temple, implying that Rin perhaps was quite daft. At least he was slightly more open to being his old snarky self.
"He just talks like he knows friggn' everything."

Rin staggered over to side bump into Otto for his snark. "He may be a know-it-all, but he's my know-it-all."
After bouncing off Otto she went back to a nice gap between them, "was he trying to instruct you on proper window care and cleaning techniques?"

"Yup." Otto replied, trying not to be equally grossed out and hurt that Rin had Melvin as a lover. Gross, because it was Melvin. Hurt, because he'd lost the one he loved. A dark, horrible part of him wanted everyone else to feel just as miserable and hurt. It was dark, but it was small. He didn't truly wish this pain on anyone.
"Whenever I said or did something wrong he looked at me like I was a ********' idiot. Like, it's a crime to not know how to fix a ********' window. I wanted to punch him in his smug-a** nose." Because Otto rather enjoyed breaking noses. He'd broken two hunter's noses so far. Gunning for a third.

"You probably should have," Rin encouraged Otto's violent streak. That's what she liked about guys sometimes. They knew how to vent properly - with blood and gore. Then drink together afterwards to numb the pain. It seemed like it would feel really good to just let someone have it any time they got on her last nerve... but. Now was not the time.
"At least you know he likes you," she looked down at her feet as they walked.

"Likes me? The a*****e treats me like I'm retarded. If he likes me he's got a damn awful way of showin' it." Otto grumbled, unwilling to bend. It wasn't that he was oblivious to his own social awkwardness. He was hardly a shining example of good will and friendship either.
He also seemed to have forgotten he'd been basking in depression not five minutes ago.
"Whatever. I'll punch him next time."

"That's the point. He's really bad at showing it," Rin chuckled as she 'assured' the teen. "Do you like ice cream?" she suddenly interrupted the Melvin-bashing with a hopefully happier subject. "We can stop and snatch some ice cream."

"I like ice cream." The teen seemed slightly more open, often easily cozied up to when the one cozying up was female. "Preferably chocolate."

"I like chocolate too," Rin admitted. "My favourite is mint chocolate chip though." She stopped and looked thoughtfully over at Otto, "but who has ice cream that we can hit up?"

"Oh..." Otto seemed visibly disappointed. Maybe they wouldn't get ice cream after all. It was the most terrible thing to happen that day.
Otto pouted.

Oh come ON Otto, don't make that face. Too late, Rin saw it. Way too much of it. She mentally cursed the heavens for this cruel torture. "Now stop that. If you don't know anyone I'm sure I can find some... plus certain persons are known for hoarding the stuff that we could hit up."

"But Rep already gave me booze and candy.." He sulked, somehow unwilling to take advantage anymore of the older man's generosity. Likely because he didn't wish to push his own luck.
He also didn't seem to care that he was being utterly and embarrassingly pathetic over something so unimportant.

"I might know of a secret stash in the life labs..." no, she definitely knew of a secret stash in the life labs. She also knew it was risky as ******** to steal a lifers ice cream.
