Bam! You got it! I knew you were smart. Juarez cartel. The Salamanca family? Ever hear of 'em?

Sorry to disappoint you.

Are you gay or bi?

No disappointment. I know things are different in different places! Where I come from, though, we're important in the global meth trade. Real big!

I'm not — I'm neither. I wouldn't use those words for myself. I wasn't lying when I said I'd hit it, though. In case you ever want to take me up on that. [ He finds it in him to smile and playfully raise his eyebrows at her. He doesn't wink though. That seems too lewd, dangerously close to not behaving himself. ]

Looking forward to your nasty fall from grace.

I'm definitely not taking you up on that.

Here? Or back home?

Didn't think you would. Still worth a shot. Can we still be friends?

Just at home. So far.

I don't want friends. I want everybody here to leave me alone.

Pfft. I think you'll be waiting a long time. Good luck with that.

Why? You don't enjoy the company of others?

I do sometimes. Definitely not all the time, though, or even most of the time.

Why? Just the way you're wired? Or is there some other reason?

Definitely the way I'm wired.

But also because I was comfortable with my team, and they're all gone. And before that, I was comfortable with my partner, and he's gone, too. I'm just tired.

Can't get comfortable with people you're never around. How'd you get comfortable with your team? With your partner? Were you comfortable with them right away or did it take time?

One more thing. Would you rather have this conversation in English?

It took time, of course. But I don't want to get comfortable with you guys. Like I said, I'm tired, and I'm okay with being on my own from now on.

I don't care what language we speak.

Aww. You're gonna hurt my feelings! Is it because you don't like us? Or because you think we'll be gone too if you get comfortable with us?

I'm tired. Do you get what I'm saying? I'm. Tired.

[ He's actually quiet for a long time. Or at least it feels like a long time.

When he speaks, he's more subdued. Not sad, but definitely quieter, less playful. ]

To be honest? No. I don't. I don't know what it's like to feel tired. I never do, of anything.

So no. I don't know what you mean. I don't know what "tired" feels like. Not really. Not in my bones. I know it's a thing people can be. But not what it feels like.

[ He has enough restraint not to ask her what it feels like. If she wants to tell him, she'll likely volunteer that information on her own; if she doesn't want to tell him, asking her and forcing her to disclose won't help her mood. ]

Yeah. I'm like that with a lot of things.

Are you? Or is it just the tiredness you don't get?

Yeah? Lots of things, huh? When you're not tired, if you ever feel like it, feel free to give me some examples.

You don't want me to answer that question, sister. You won't like it.

Try me.
