Geo walks in, carrying a much smaller bag. “Special delivery!”

*Dally notices you and heads on over!* “Howdy Geo! How’re you today?”
-
“Great! How are you?”
-
“I’m doing pretty great myself! I’m just hanging around the best bar in the city for a little before headed home.” “It’s been a bit since I’ve seen ya, what’ve you been up to since the 4th?
-
“Not much. Work mostly.”
-
“Ah yeah, work is [i]always[/i] work!” “well I can’t complain much, I have it easy compared to most jobs!”
-
“What do you do then?”
-
“Well I’m a lab assistant, but I’m friends with the head scientist so I [i]usually[/i] get cool jobs.”
-
Geo leans forward curiously. “I never took you for the lab type.”
-
“Honestly I’m not. I’d much rather have a job that involves going out and about, but I owe the head scientist so I’m working with him for a bit.”
-
“How do you owe him?”
-
“He helped me out of a crummy situation and brought me to Offtopic from my old home. I won’t ever be able to fully repay him for that, but I’m doing the best I can.”
-
“Well, ill help anyway I can.”
-
“No, no. This is my debt to repay, I don’t want to burden other people with it.”
-
“It won’t be a burden. I don’t really have anything else to do.”
-
“It’s alright, I’m all good. It’s my work and I’m not gonna have anyone else do it for me.”
-
“Alright then. Have you met my friend here?” Geo motions to Nightingale, sitting beside her, inspecting your knife.

-
The person looks up. “I’m Nightingale. Aren’t you concerned that I just stole your blade?”, she says jokingly. She passes it back to you.
-
*Dal takes it back and looks it over, making sure it’s in perfect condition. It looks like she hadn’t noticed it was taken until it was brought up.* “I- I didn’t actually realize.” “Please don’t take it again, it’s my main weapon and it’s important to me.”
-
Geo cuts in. “Don’t worry, she almost never takes friends items permanently. She just likes messing with people.”
-
“Still, it’s important and I always have it with me. I’d prefer if she hadn’t taken it at all.”
-
Nightingale raises her hands in mock surrender. “Okay. Sorry.”
-
“You could’ve just asked and I would’ve shown you, no need to take it.” “Like I said, it’s... important to me.”
-
She nods. “I understand. Why don’t we move to another topic?”
-
“Yeah, that’s a good idea.” *Dal seems a bit put off. This wasn’t a great first interaction.*
