[ in frank's experience, people who claim not to care often care the most. but he doesn't say it. he hasn't been shy about announcing his concerns, but nor has he tried to take anything over. he's just trying to help out in any way he knows how. if right now that means pouring tequila and relaying what he's learned about space to a girl who's pretending to be vapid but definitely isn't, then so be it. ]
About as far out as you can get, I'll give credit where it's due.
Thank you. [Elektra sighs dramatically. You would think she was waiting for him to admit that all night with the way she puts weight on the words.] I got exactly what I want even if I have to kill whoever did this out of principle. Legally, of course.
[She snorts, but obliges. That glass is going down in one long sip. RIP Elektra's liver... or not. Who even knows what she is.] Do they even pay you to do this?
Haven't you ever heard that community service makes a man rich? [ he shrugs one shoulder ] Yeah, me either. [ but seriously money is meaningless here. sorry elektra. ]
No fun. [She complains as she finishes her drink and looks at him expectedly.] Alright show me your proof so I can get properly drunk without having to consider bashing your brains in every few seconds.
Suit yourself. [ he moves from behind the bar and max cautiously follows. he narrows his eyes in distrust at her, so naturally, the two are kindred spirits. ] I wouldn't trust this face either.
[ he points to his face then gestures into the hall ]
At least you have those brains going for you. For now. [She gives Max about the same look. It really does take one to know one. She thinks she'd actually have trouble killing him if it came down to it.]
I will warn you having me go first won't actually save you if it comes down to it.
I think I could find better human shields around this place. [ that came out more hostile than he intended. the walk to the elevator is pretty quick and max is climbing in after them with practiced ease, sitting up next to elektra's leg and giving her an expectant look while slapping his whip of a tail against the ground. frank hits the button for deck 1 and then hits the close door button in rapid succession before hooking his thumbs into the beltloops on his jumpsuit and waiting for the ride to start up. there's a brief moment of weightlessness, the usual jump in a regular elevator replaced by a floaty almost-second of 0G. frank's boots are engaged so he never moves, but max lifts a few inches before he can scramble for the floor again, giving a little protest bark even though it's already over. ]
Doubtful. [Elektra retorts dryly. She does her best to ignore that look. She's not going to show anything other than menace until she has answers!!! Unfortunately, she slips up after successfully turning those boots on because of Max. Her hand shoots down after it can do any good for him and settles on his back. She gives him the tiniest of pets despite herself before straightening up. Nothing to see here!!!]
