'Not hearing' better not the the codeword here, Kaz.

Well, it might still make profit, but there's a reason why people still come and spill their hearts out to a stranger.
Sometimes it's more comfortable to share your hopes and fears to someone that doesn't know who you are.

Just like Kruge doesn't seem to get used to the idea of not being a stray or that food is available every day.

[noreasonneeded]

Hm? What's that?

I cannot fathom ever finding that comfortable. I think anyone who spills to a stranger they haven't thoroughly vetted is questionable at best. I'll still take their money, but I question them.

She'll take all the tuna she can find, no matter what.

[hawk_shot]

You're a dork.

We listen, we take their money and we judge, huh?
It's not something you'd ever do, I get that. Specially with how private you are about your things.

She is a little fighter.
Like her dad.

[noreasonneeded]

I'm your dork.

I'm not the target audience for this sort of conversation, no. I don't understand in general why so many people want to talk about themselves in the first place.

She and Lucky seem to be getting along really well.

[hawk_shot]

[Kate can physically feel it in her chest. Her heart seems to swell as she reads those words again. Kaz, calling himself hers.]

Yeah, you are.
And I'm yours.

It meant a lot, you know? When you told me about your brother.

She's definitely not afraid of him anymore.
Yesterday I even saw her steal one of his treats. Pretty much out of his mouth.

[noreasonneeded]

Should I call you my dork, then? Might raise some questions when we introduce one another.

Yes. Well. You're not a stranger.

She's fortunate he's patient with her. He thinks he's made a friend.

[hawk_shot]

'Oh, yes, hi. He is my dork and I'm his dork.'
Still better than having it on a t-shirt.

No, I think we're well past that.
Still, it meant a lot.
What was his name again?

Further proof that he is the sweetest of boys.
He totally adores her.

[noreasonneeded]

That is saying something, given how many slogan t-shirts you have.

I didn't say. ... it was Jordie.

I'm fairly convinced he thinks we got him a kitten.

[hawk_shot]

But my t-shirts have GREAT quotes.

Jordie.
It's a nice name. Jordie Brekker has a great ring to it.
He was older, right?

You're probably right.
Do you remember how he wagged his tail the first time he saw her?
To think we were worried!

[noreasonneeded]

Great might be in the eye of the beholder here.

Yes. He was four years older than me. Though I’ve long since passed how old he got to be.

I wasn’t worried. Well, not about that. About them teaming up, perhaps. Another animal and they’ll outnumber us.

[hawk_shot]

C'mon the 'this is a witty t-shirt, wit it in me' is soooo good.

That's messed up.
I'm so sorry, Kaz.
Jordie deserved better.

We clearly have to train one of those crows now.

[noreasonneeded]

I will at least say you look good in it.

Yes. He did. Thankfully, I’m very good at revenge. One might even say I have a talent for it.

I wouldn’t put it past the cat and dog to swipe any trained crow to their side.

[hawk_shot]

That goes withouy saying.
What about the 'raise my hand if you believe in telekinesis' one?

... Jordie was murdered?

I can even see Kruge investing some scraps on bribing them.
She's too much like you.

[noreasonneeded]

I think it proudly displays that you’re a dork.

In a sense. I don’t want to talk about it further. It was handled.

She is a clever girl. Too advanced to learn tricks other animals do.

[hawk_shot]

How is that dorky?? It's super smart and stylish!

Okay.
...
Thanks for telling me, Kaz. I know it's not easy for you and you're not comfortable talking about it. But it means the world to me.

I can hear you drooling all the way from here.

[noreasonneeded]

If one was a dork they might say that.

Yeah. Well. I know you won’t tell anybody.

The only time I’ve ever drooled is when I’ve passed out sometimes.

[hawk_shot]

Are you saying that is something you would say, you dork?

I'd never do that to you, no.
Can I ask you one last thing about this?

And when you do you're probably dreaming about how proud you're of Kruge.
Or about my ass.

[noreasonneeded]

I'm saying you said it and extrapolating from there.

I may not answer, but you can ask.

Who's to say I can only have one dream at a time?

[hawk_shot]

That's something only a cute, nerdy dork would say.

Do you do anything special for Jordie?
Like I do on my dad's birthday.

True.
Either way, you clearly drool dreaming about pussy.

[noreasonneeded]

You would count for those qualifications.

[He doesn't think him sending Rollins a 'save the date' card about the new club's opening while he's in jail probably counts in Kate's estimation.]

No. He's dead. It's not like he'd be aware of it.

I'm sure you're very proud of that one.

[hawk_shot]

Oh, yeah? Says who? The Dork Master?

Oh.
That's cool.
I mean, everyone handles these things differently.

I am.
And kinda want it in a t-shirt now.
It would be extra awesome if you slept wearing that one.

[noreasonneeded]

You really want to call me Master?

What do you do for your father's birthday?

It won't be extra awesome, then.

[hawk_shot]

I don't know, maybe that's a new game we could try.

Mom and I meet for lunch or dinner. And I sometimes go to places where he used to take me as a kid.

oh, come on!
It would be soooo sexy.

[noreasonneeded]

As long as I don't have to call anyone Master. I'm not really big on following orders.

If it makes you feel better, then it's good you do it.

No.

[hawk_shot]

But would you like me to call you 'sir'?

It does.
It makes me feel like my family is still complete.

Not even if it's a heartfelt gift from me to you?
