@grimesucker Sent: ❛ Everyone Has Secrets And If You Keep Asking, You’ll See How Far I’m Willing

brought to an abrupt halt by the words, or perhaps more by the severe tone in which they’re spoken, shiro falls still and simply blinks at dox, eyes wide. while he’s NO STRANGER to dox’s more harsh tones of voice, it’s not often that they’re directed at HIM. typically, dox is talking to some other slumrat in this manner, whether they’re deserving of it or not, so whenever it does come ‘round to focus on him... shiro is startled every time.
it isn’t as though he’d been egging the man on or anything, either. yes, he may have been asking questions, but they had been INNOCENT --- mere efforts to understand dox better --- and not remotely forceful. ironically, these are usually the things that have made the mender snap at him in the past, too, although there have been times where the boy had been more insistent.
“ i’m not trying to... ” trailing off, shiro blinks again, hesitates, then lowers his gaze. he GETS that everyone has secrets. he GETS that people in the undercity have more than people on med-lev. he GETS that they’re willing to go farther to protect them. what he DOESN’T GET is why, even when they’ve practically become family, dox is so ABSOLUTELY ADAMANT to not share so many things with him.
for a moment, shiro remains as he is, but soon exhales a low breath. a step is taken back to signify him backing down from the confrontation ( one that he didn’t want started in the first place ) and, turning away, he shakes his head.
“ sorry. i wasn’t trying to upset you. ”

“Um. Excuse you? I love painting my nails. It makes me type way faster.”
What she really meant was that it made her feel cooler to type with painted nails, but this is one of the rare occasions where she’s willing to blend fact and opinion.
Although, she does admit, “It’s just been a while since I’ve done my nails. And I usually scratch all the paint off pretty quickly.”
With a bustling sound, Katie drops his hand and squints Shiro down, “Look, are you really going to talk yourself out of a free pedicure? Because I don’t give out family discounts.”
“ no, no, i’ll take the manicure offer. i know how high your rates are. ”
he can’t help but to laugh affectionately at katie’s words as he runs with the joke. it’s a laugh he doesn’t get to use often enough these days, but this... this conversation about something MUNDANE as painting nails and the kidding around... it feels a lot like things used to be, and it’s nice.
“ why don’t you go grab your supplies, and i’ll wait here for you. set up a space for us to do all this. sound good? ”

“ it’s FOUR IN THE MORNING. ”
words spoken on rough growl, an IMPRESSIVE glare darkening the mender’s face ; lip CURLS in something of a SNARL, aggravation blatantly APPARENT at having been woken up so early—whatever it is, if it hadn’t woken dox on it’s own, that’s indicative of it being something that can WAIT - it’s too damn EARLY for BULLSHIT.
“ what do you want ?”
“ s-sorry. ”
taken aback by the unreserved aggression, shiro stumbles over the apology. it’s his own fault, really, he knows how... annoyed dox get upon being awoke in the wee hours of the morning -- he should have been prepared for a less-than-welcoming response. quickly deciding this was a MISTAKE, that he should just let the mender return to sleep, he shakes his head and takes a step back out of the room.
“ --nevermind, it’s not important. ” making to slink away, he murmurs one final; “ sorry. ”
