You really don't know how to handle money, do you?

[The cost of petrol from a drive or the various fares from a commute were infinitely more than just buying a pack of disposable razors from a drug store.]

We'll provide you a razor as well. It's not a concern.

[northless]

More like I don't know how to handle my time.

[That, and when you've just woken up from a nightmare, shaving is usually one of the last things on your mind.]

It's fine, wouldn't want to bother you with that. I'll ask Jon if he can lend me one.

[11ady]

If that is what you wish. For now, I think that's all we'll need to discuss. The ball's in your court. Choose to be there at the appointed hour or go back to stealing spare change. I'm sure the decision will be easy enough.

[He nods. Wasn't like he was planning on sleeping tonight, anyway--he'll just drop off the boxes and then walk to Jon's place, ask for a razor and walk back. It's simple as that, and the cost is one nightmare-laden night.

He'll take the razor.

He looks out the window.]

Drop me off here.

[11ady]

[As he bids, the car comes to a stop and the chauffeur opens the door for him while bearing his boxes.]

Have a pleasant evening.

[A parting greeting. For how long, she doesn't know. She'll just have to wait and see.]

[northless]

Yeah, you too.

[He takes the boxes, nods at the chauffeur, and goes on his way, twenty dollars still in his pocket, and wondering.

Maybe some wishes do come true.]
