Personal laziness is gonna be a hard sell.
You can't think of a better use for them?
Come on. You're a helper, Stephen.

[rehandle]

[ Can't a man be facetious anymore... ]

They can help you do your rounds without leaving the store, import sourced materials, and a million and one other things.

[klepto]

Can't believe you're trying to put me out of a job.
I'll let Vanya know.

[rehandle]

Thank you.
Feel free to leave that one off the list. Or keep it on. Maybe you'll be put to better use.

[klepto]

Not much use for a cartographer in this place.

[rehandle]

[ Ah. So there were some shades of her reality. One of these days he'll figure out how much.

Impulsively: ]

Would they let you work on the surface design for the ring?
Customer request. I'll pay a little extra labor if they need the incentive.

[klepto]

Why?

[rehandle]

I think a cartographer could make it look pretty neat.

[ Nice save? ]

[klepto]

What are you doing?

[rehandle]

Sling rings are generally unique to their owners, but they're usually passed down.

If I get to make my own, I'd like it to feel like it's mine.
You know me. Vanya doesn't.
I want you to design it.

[klepto]

I'll think about it.

[rehandle]

Ok.

If you do take it on, you can name your price.

[klepto]

You're starting to sound desperate.

[rehandle]

Unfortunate side effect of having plenty to offer and no idea what you might want.

[klepto]

Humility's not really on the list, huh?

[rehandle]

Afraid not.

[klepto]

Take a guess.
It'll be fun.

[rehandle]

No thank you.

[ He knows a danger zone when he sees one. ]

[klepto]

But I thought you had so much to offer.

[rehandle]

I do. Including the desire to maintain peace and equilibrium in our very small shared quarters.

[ He knows he pissed her off last time they spoke mind to mind, he knows it, he's lived and he'll learn. ]

[klepto]

Then when I say I'll think about it, let me think about it.

[rehandle]

Duly noted.

[klepto]

[ some hours later: ]

I want a jacket.

[rehandle]

[ Ah! ]

Okay. Any specifics for this jacket?

[klepto]

A good warm coat that'll last through this snow.
