It bothered me, calling him, relying on him. It made me feel complicit. Inconveniencing him, even a little, felt good.
Hah, nice.
Maybe you should team up with Imp and play some pranks on him.
“Yes?” His question was curt.
“It’s Skitter.”
“What is it, Skitter?”
“I need a loan of some guys.”
What do you have in mind? Furniture-moving muscle? Company?
“How many?”
I looked around the living room, “Eight? A truck would be a good idea, if you can get one here.”
“I can. These men you require, are you needing gunmen or-”
“Just regular guys, anyone up for some exercise.”
Sounds like the former.
Or maybe she just wants an entourage on her morning run? ;P
“I assume there’s no rush?” He was being more curt than usual. Maybe I’d woken him up. I didn’t really care.
Sounds like it, yeah.
I wonder, since Taylor making this call isn’t dependent on Coil’s actions (unless he did something involving Taylor in the other reality), is he currently having this conversation with two Skitters at once?
He could deal, if I was working on something that helped him.
“No rush.”
“Then I’ll have them there in an hour.”
“An hour, then.”
Sounds alright.
