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.

[rehandle]

Good. Deal. I'll have it for you as soon as I can.

[ It's something he'll actually have to engage with the barter system for, which seems fitting. ]

[klepto]

Vanya should have work on your ring done in the next week or so.

[rehandle]

Pleasure doing business with you.
