"Thank you, that was good. Can I take a quick shower before I go?"Hearing her voice had startled Ed out of whatever thoughts he'd been having. He look...d up at her as she spoke, and then told her he guessed it would be okay for her to do that. She stood right up after he had given her permission, walking over to the living room corner to retrieve her bag to take it into the bathroom with her. Ed heard the sound of the shower water starting up as he began to clear away the mess left over from. Not everyday was hectic, some days I had very little to do, and it was nice to have some time to myself. Today I got everything done before 1pm, and decided to get something to eat. There was a small line at the taco place, so I waited to place my order, not paying attention to anyone else, I got my food, and as I was paying I noticed the lady from the previous elevator ride waiting in line a couple of people behind me, order on her tray. I asked the cashier if I could pay for her meal, he. He then realised what the old madman was thinking. “Do we have the capability to build these?”Skay just gave a mad grin. “Well not yet. We have two jobs for the next few days. I want to assemble some automation for the lab. A couple 3D printers, some electronics manufacturing, you know. The basics. We’ll have to get Jessy to start buying up the necessary resources. That also means that the 400 gold we just made will probably fall back down to something like 50 gold.”James cupped his chin. “Well. .. my Courtesan, that's what you are. That's my name for you, Courtesan. I love you. No matter how frustrated or angry I get, I will never hurt you. I won't take my anger out on you. Think what that would make me. I'd just be an abuser. Please help me never become that. But what you are offering me is a treasure beyond anything I could imagine. To offer to hold me when I'm crying? Courtesan, thank you. To listen to me when I need to talk? Courtesan, thank you. To love me when I am weak?.
