[falls silent to have a small crisis upon realizing she does trust him to do it]

[ down to the wrist now. he's okay with silence, and looks down at what he's doing instead of at her face. giving her a minute ]

[she'll probably be silent until it finishes, and at that point:]

...Thank you. What do I owe you?

[immediately back on her bullshit]

Is that a joke?

[no]

[ gets to his feet with a sigh and offers her a hand up ]

You've already been working hard. Jamil and Brekker-san need you at your best, too.

[nods]

[ he regenerated some of it for her already but still ]

[hesitating]

I'll just use more pewter.

[who needs blood when you can eat metal]

Is that... okay?

[ what ]

Yes.

[gets up]

...Thank you.

[ well that sounds weird but surely Vin wouldn't lie to my face rather than just drink a glass of water ]
