Ugh, so more fucking work.

[aubins]

What, feeling a little work shy?

[enfangs]

What, you're a workaholic?

[aubins]

I like to think I keep a happy medium.

[enfangs]

Well, I hate mundane work.

[aubins]

[ colour him surprised. ]

Even if the rewards are more than worth it?

[enfangs]

I'll do it if I get something out of it, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

[aubins]

I think we know what we're getting out of what we're doing here, don't we?

[enfangs]

I mean the whole pulling strings or asking questions or whatever the hell you were talking about before.

I'll put in what I came here for. Anything extra requires additional incentive.

[aubins]

And if the incentive is making it easier to get what you came here for?

[enfangs]

Kind of too early to say one way or another, isn't it?

[aubins]

You're already throwing in the towel if it turns out that's how it's going to work.

[enfangs]

Whatever. Others are already going to do the work, so I can just ask them instead.

[aubins]

Way to show your commitment to the cause.

[enfangs]

What cause? We're all here for our own selfish reasons—it's not like we're working towards a single goal.

[aubins]

As if you know what we're all here for.

[enfangs]

Nope, and I don't care any more than anyone would care about me. But the point still stands.

[aubins]

Well, it’s not like I don’t support focusing on your own goals. As long as you don’t go expecting bail outs when you don’t want to give any!

[ he doesn’t scratch other people’s backs for free. Most of the time ]

[enfangs]

[he shrugs.]

I can pay back friends. I just don't go around doing things 'cause random strangers say I should.

[aubins]

You never know when a little kindness might come back at just the right time. [ ... ] But sure, expend your energy or don't.

And try not to run afoul of any uncovered windows in the process.

[enfangs]

Yeah, sure, I'll keep that in mind, Mr. Philanthropist.

[aubins]

And you say it like it's a bad thing.

[enfangs]

Not like it can't be.

[aubins]

Depends on your motivation, sure.

[enfangs]

Could say that about a lot of things.
