The overnight to Barcelona. If all goes well I should be back by tomorrow night.

[ or sooner, if it went badly. eames could move ridiculously face when he was properly motivated. ]

action;

[specifythepoint]

What does the job look like?

action;

[pilfered]

I wasn't given many details.

[ or...any details at all. ]

I'll find out when I meet the client, won't I?

action;

[specifythepoint]

Take a gun, Eames.

action;

[pilfered]

Come now, darling. As if I'd leave home without it.

[ some people's essentials are wallets and car keys. eames prefers loaded weaponry. ]

action;

[specifythepoint]

You might think it's funny to do just that.

action;

[pilfered]

In another situation, maybe.

[ like that one time in venezuela, but that ended badly so he'll not bring it up as an example. ]

action;

[specifythepoint]

Like Venezuela?

[Arthur is not so kind.]

Call me if you need back up.

action;

[pilfered]

[ arthur stop knowing everything. ]

Isolated incident.

[ lies. ]

Of course. Care for a souvenir? I can find you a tie or something.

[ an atrociously colored tie. ]

action;

[specifythepoint]

[No :|]

It's fine, I was just in Spain. I have registration papers for a gun, in case you get stopped.

action;

[pilfered]

[ but arthur don't you want a paisley-print tie ]

Thank you. If it's an extraction, would you like in?

action;

[specifythepoint]

Yes.

[Pause]

It's my only income right now.

action;

[pilfered]

[ and that brings eames up short. ]

Beg pardon?

action;

[specifythepoint]

Did you mishear me?

action;

[pilfered]

Would you mind clarifying that?

[ oh the implications of that statement. ]

action;

[specifythepoint]

Zatanna doesn't want to speak to me anymore.

action;

[pilfered]

Ah.

[ eames entire reaction can be summed up with "shit," considering what eames observed of them. he takes a minute to be very preoccupied with the saftey on his gun while he figures out what to say. ]

She'll come around. Give her a bit of time.

action;

[specifythepoint]

[Arthur seems...complacent, but then it's Arthur and he's socially impaired or something]

We didn't break up, Eames.

She thinks I don't trust her, and I'm not about to tell her what we do.

action;

[pilfered]

It comes to the same thing.

[ it's mal, but on a much smaller scale. the last thing eames wants to do is see that kind of devastation again, even in a much smaller fashion. ]

And there's no way around that?

action;

[specifythepoint]

Do you want her to know what we do?

action;

[pilfered]

Not at all.

[ eames is forever a secretive bastard. ]

But surely you don't need to tell her any of that.

action;

[specifythepoint]

Do you really think that's possible? She's not stupid.

action;

[pilfered]

There are things that simply don't need to be spoken of.

[ surely talking around the issue would suffice. eames manages it all the time. ]

action;

[specifythepoint]

It's gone beyond that point.

action;

[pilfered]

[ there's a pause. eames' expression shutters, closes off. ]

You've been careless.
