private - vin.
[There is some minor debate here as to whether or not it was worth it. Shit is very clearly about to start going down and he may not even get it in-time for whatever's waiting around the corner. But if there's one thing Stark's learned through the years, if it's not one thing, it's another.]

[The problem is, he's not asking for something minor. If it was just a weapon or hell even Spiritus Dei, he'd just ask. And Vin would probably concede no problem without question or much prying. Those things don't really matter and, in the end, Stark can get by without. This, though, is no minor favor.]

[Which means he might have to talk.]

[Stark is not good at talking. He doesn't like to talk. He's mastered the art of deflecting and not talking to the point it's a formulaic science that can't be beat. He'd rather read than talk. Actually, he would rather lose an arm than talk. Point is: talking bad, anything else good. But he knows the deal with Vin. If he wants a lot, he has to give a lot.]

[Of course, that doesn't mean he won't try to find ways to avoid talking as much as possible.]


my cabin in five.

[He knows she won't be satisfied with being allowed inside his cabin alone, but it's enough to signal he wants something big and important. And it's enough to send the clear message she shouldn't get greedy and push it either just because he wants something a little more than a na'at or sawed off.]

Zen meditation? Yoga? Deep breathing? Excessive drinking?

[ A year ago this would have caused Nathan to retreat to a cave, from whence he might never have emerged. Now he just smile-winces, eyes lidding. ]

Y'oughta try it sometime.

No.

You sure? Least then you could say it's stupid from an informed perspective.

[ There is no way he didn't pick up that phrase from Audrey. ]
