"If I wanted ya dead right now, you wouldn't have that gun unloaded in time. I just don't want ya to waste your bullets missing~"

"Ah, that's the problem with you me boyo! You've got your mind too focused on the wrong thing!"

Turning to face Jack a bit more properly, his laughter soon echoing down before he gives a more proper, stern look. A rarity for him.

"Not interested in getting into challenge pissing with you."++

"Ah, and there save by the grace of him you go, eh?"

Not a hateful bone in his body.

"Nah, more a waste cause you're gonna miss your target. Dumber people have tried than you, Jack~"

Hah! Letting out a quick laugh, though already keeping the escape ready. Clone swap just in case.

Didn't survive as long as he had without precautions.

"Ah, relax boyo, gonna pop a vein or worse, waste ammo like that!"

"Hah! Man so handsome he had to put it in his name, even for an arsehole~

You can have the top spot in yer category, I'll still be enjoyin' being the Galaxy's sexiest hitman."

"Yeah, cmon! Be a good moment to test out the new Jakobs stuff too~"

"Eh, whatcha got in mind? Bandit nest isn't too far away, could use a good clean up and spray down~"

He's alive!

Nothin' in the universe that can take him down!

Except back pain

Kiss.

+end up having to help some new eejits whenever they show up. But that's the life, eh?"

A shake of his head.

"Ah, put me down as already havin' yer jar back~ It'll be here before long or my name isn't Zane Danger Flynt~"

"Haaaah, don't make a man think he has a chance~"

A hearty laugh, though...Hmm. She did hit a small nerve. He has to shrug, a moment to take it easy.

"Ehh, dunno if I can say I'm out of the VH business. Funny thing about it, seems like once you're in, you don't ever get to leave. Probably gonna+

//You're high priority. Stop it~

Dangerous. But he meant every word of it, every time.

Haaaaah.

Gorgeous was trouble with a capital T, but it didn't stop him from coming back for more. One day she'd get him in trouble.

But until then, he relents, a smile on his face.

"Ahh, tell you what, I'm in a good mood~ Any chance if ya throw in an extra favor, that'll cover for tonight too?"++

"Hah, don't mention it! Look, long as you've learned ya lesson and got your mind set right, things'll be fine.

But yer not gonna get rid of the ribbing, boyo~"

"Oh for the love of-"

A moment of a sigh and a shake of his head, his hand expertly on his face. He swore he had to do this song and dance every time they met back up.

"Zane! The casino! We had that one weekend? The mess then with the eejit twins? Casino heist? Handsome bastard?"

"Well regardless, ya figured it out late! Still good advice to take ta heart~"

"Aha! Is that my favorite barkeep~?

...we cleared out me tab already, right?"

"Boyo, I'm going to let you in on a little secret.

Some things, money ain't enough to cover the cost."

At the very least, it isn't long before Zane is relenting and relaxing, a shake of his own head at Matt's words.

Trusting enough.

"Ugh, no thanks, not the life for me. Got me own enhancements, but can't take away the joy of a meal.

That sounds like a hell."

Of course it does!

But you don't stay alive in the galaxy without having a little bit of survival instinct.

"Haaah, thats the problem with all them rich bastards boys, never any fun, and if they are, it's because they're figuring out where in your back to put a blade!"

Hmm, lass is right, it is more of an incentive!

Fine, for her~

Going to take her by the hand, pull her up to and press against a wall, and begin planting those lips upon her.

"Ehh, she's got a big enough list of 'em to fill out one of them giant libraries.

Just give me a heads up if she aims at me~"

She keeps that up, she's going to be gettin' kisses all over~

Though that doesn't sound like a bad time, painting her with his smooching.
