[Hefts them up easily.]

Nice to meet you. All of my compromising incidents so far have involved blood or broken bones, so this is new.

...here?

[Goes to flick on the lights and turns back, bemused.]

Obviously here.

This place is usually pretty peaceful. Are you a murderous psychopath?

[like,

he's not scared just asking for a friend]

[Evaluates Kei's expression, paired with his relative calm earlier, and laughs.]

No. I am an assassin, though.

[gives him a wink and a finger gun as they dig for pants. You're welcome for this prime shot of them bending over you won't even appreciate Kei. ]

Did you--

[it sort of goes like

1) no i'm not here for this but honestly have some decency

2) wait was that a vag and a dick

3) what was I saying]

[They're getting pants! You shouldn't have been looking.]

Did I...?

Uh.

[mentally. rolls... back...]

Did you find someone to assassinate?

No, it would be kind of pointless here. I told you I'm not a murderous psychopath; I don't do it for fun.

[Just, sometimes it is fun.]

Not all murderous psychopaths are sadists, and plenty aren't very smart. It was worth checking.

[anyway going to head for the door bye]

[watches curiously.]

[yeah no

it's not opening

honestly just sort of stares at the door handle despondently]

[leans against the doorframe of the bedroom.]

You seem to know a lot about murderous psychopaths.

...I'm not one.

[just so we're clear on that

i don't want to fight a sexy assassin sounds dumb]

[Amused]

Yeah, I know.

I worked for the government for a while dealing with a terrorist, plus all the ones actually on the government payroll, and then there's plenty here, too. But like you said, there's not much point to it here.

[going to try the window just because. what. if it worked]

[In Sniper's world that is not actually a weird amount of responsibility for an 18 year old so they look relatively unsurprised.

Sniper tracks them accross the room but doesn't move, idly itching their calf with a foot.]

How'd you get into that?

I got a job because I needed a job, and I was good at it so I got more important jobs.

[pretty straight forward, really

no the window isn't working, SIGH]

How did you get into assassinating?

[Sounds legit tbh except they assume there's more flavor to it.]

My family has been doing it for generations.

[...right]

That's not the weirdest thing I've heard.

[i guess i'm going to flop into a chair then]

You're friends with Mori?

Mhm. How did you know?

He mentioned you.

Do you actually consider him a friend or are you just the type of person who will apply that label to anyone?

[They curl up on the couch to think about this.]

I was sincere about agreeing and I plan on treating it like the truth. If you're asking that means you know he's an opaque kind of person.

...no. I've always thought he's pretty transparent.

But there's a reason he doesn't have friends, and there's a reason I told him he should make some.

[Corrects themself:]

Someone who likes to be seen as opaque.

What was that reason?
