Wellspring Arms & Meditation Center, Monday

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

For the first time since he'd arrived on the island, Cable was... distracted... from the mess building up at home. There was something worrying about the previous day's encounter. Not enough to keep him from slapping the Open sign on the door and settling in for the day.

But enough to unsettle his mind.

With this in mind, he was a little more serious (if that was possible) today, quietly working through forms and books on his desk.

Talk to Cable

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

He's here as always.

Re: Talk to Cable

Of course he was there.

Probably plotting something too.

"You still have my DVDs," Wade said, hopping up to sit on the counter.

Re: Talk to Cable

Nate glanced up from the desk, keeping his pen firmly between metal fingers. "To your left," he said.

Oh, look. A DVD box, sitting atop a case of slightly oversized weaponry just to Wade's left.

Some things were mildly easy to predict, after all.

Wade sighed, leaning back to rest his weight on his hands. "No, no, no. That's your cue to look all avoidy because you are halfway through the season and want to watch more."

Re: Talk to Cable

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"'Avoidy' isn't a priority right now." It would've sounded like a vague statement coming from anyone else.

It still was a vague statement. It just didn't much sound like one. Especially not considering the expression on his face.

Was that Stoic #34? Wade was pretty sure it was.

"You are no fun at all. You could at least pretend to enjoy it."

Re: Talk to Cable

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"I told you it would do," Nate offered. Then segued ever so smoothly into, "I don't suppose you've met anyone spouting cryptic portents of doom about the island recently?"

Re: Talk to Cable

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

"Other than you?"

Re: Talk to Cable

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

Nate shot him a look. "I haven't said anything about the island."

This was a shop Sokka hadn't seen before. So he wandered in.

...And suddenly, it was Christmas. Not that Sokka knew what Christmas was, but there was that same look of gleeful delight in the eyes of this child. The only way he could POSSIBLY be happier would be if he walked into Wonka's.

"You sell GUNS here?!?!?!" he asked excitedly.

Re: Talk to Cable

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

Cable glanced up from his paperwork again. Trust the people to come in while he was actually occupied with something. "Yes," he returned, roughly as calm as Sokka was excited.

Which, by the looks of it, was very.

Re: Talk to Cable

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka looked around excitedly. "AWESOME!!!"

He dashed around the store, looking excitedly at the big, impressive-looking guns... The machine guns. The submachine guns. The ones that looked like they meant BUSINESS. And then he pulled a wad of bills out of his pocket and counted it sadly.

He headed back to Cable. "...I don't suppose I could get something on credit?"

Re: Talk to Cable

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

Cable wasn't even sure if he wanted this one to get anywhere near the weapons, let alone purchase one. At least there was still such a thing as small favors. "No," he said.

It was a single syllable, but it contained so very, very much.

Re: Talk to Cable

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka sighed and went to find the biggest weapon he could afford. If stretched his cash as far as it would go, he could just barely get a 9mm. So long as he was content to clean it with his boomerang oil and borrow ammo from the shooting range until his next payday.

"This one, then."

Re: Talk to Cable

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

Cable glanced at the gun, then up at Sokka. "Do you know how to fire one of these?" he asked, some sliver of curiosity mixed in with the doubt. Some.

Re: Talk to Cable

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Oooh, this was not good. Sokka got a little nervous. Was he not going to sell him the gun?

"I'm proficient with various handguns, shotguns, and semi-automatic weapons," he responded, hoping he sounded confident enough. "Not so much with rifles, though, but I'm not really a rifle kind of guy. I've practiced in the shooting range a lot."

This guy was friends with Pajama Man, right? "Deadpool let us use guns all the time."

After talked to Roy and dropping the kittens back off, Aly made her way down to Wellspring Arms. With coffee and pastries. Not that she was bribing or anything. Of course not.

Re: Talk to Cable

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

And there was the third interruption today. Cable glanced up at Aly. Barely. "I didn't know I scheduled a tea party."

Re: Talk to Cable

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Oops," she said with a quick grin. "You should speak to your secretary about getting that put on your calendar."

Re: Talk to Cable

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"I'll take that into consideration." If he ever got a secretary. Which was unlikely.

His eyes flicked up again for a moment, but finally settled on the paperwork.

Re: Talk to Cable

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly set the coffee and bag with pastries down on counter so they were near them but not on his papers. "Just wanted to say thank you."

Re: Talk to Cable

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

"For what?" Whatever he'd done, it hadn't been a favor to her, after all. Thanks weren't necessary.

Re: Talk to Cable

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

She shrugged. "Caring enough about Wade to point me in the right direction."

Mod away or bug Cable about it.
