            ❝ oh, i’ve tried. he runs when he sees me. and i mean runs.             the kid, like, books it halfway across the state when i sneeze.             annoying, right? come out and face me like a girl. such is why             i’m considering robbery as the only potential tactic, but i also             feel too goodhearted to break any windows -- or frighten any             other tenants.                      see my dilemma? lemme give you a few seconds to sniffle. ❞

        ❝ you know what? i like your attitude. hear me out: let’s go into business         together. with my softcore experience & your mean base-coating, we can         make a considerable killing. you paint one garage door, you paint ‘em all,         right?            ------ then, when people see how cute and unemployed we are otherwise,            they start hiring us for more jobs we have no background in. like, window            installation, plumbing... everyday heroes, that’s what we’ll be. the “super”            portion of that title is on pause until manhattan is under attack by a 50-foot            rage monster, or whatever. ❞

❝ ------ yeesh, don’t sneak up on me!

         did i not already warn you about that, barnes? i will not be held          accountable for flat out roundhousing you in the face next time.          listening skills. ❞

       ❝ you know? i’d go one step further and say i do it better. wear it better, too.        don’tcha think? thanks, buddy. you didn’t say it, but i felt it. resonated real        deep in the soul region. is this the cute blind guy with a nice attitude routine        that you use to pick up dates? very clever. really nurture that ego. ❞

          ❝ ... WELL, that depends on which expertise you’re interested in, sailor.           i’m multi-talented. are you in need of someone super skilled at catching           flying snacks in her mouth?                       because, if so, you’re barking up the right tree.

                                what can i do ya for. ❞

         “ we must go, immediately. ”

barely even time for a nod or a wink, no -- zero hesitation, because this means business. her chilly hand is grasping nice and firm around the girl’s in a matter of nanoseconds, off to a nearly-sprinting start down what would otherwise be a beautifully leafy path. 

            “ WE WILL FIND HIM. back pocket. snacks. i got snacks in there.             ... like, dog snacks, not my snacks ---------- get em. ”
