WHY WAS IT SO HARD TO NAME THIS GUY

"You sure?" she asked, frowning. "Sounds to me like you never handled it, that call was foreeeeeever ago."

"No, I did. Trust me."

"So you'll never go away again?" she asked hopefully.

"Well, no, I can't promise that..."

"Oh, okay." she said, frowning again. "Whatever."

"But I'll always love you the most." He insisted seriously.

Her face seemed to brighten a little at that.

"...Really?"

He kissed her forehead.

"Of course."

Vani smiled.

"Okay, I guess I can live with that~ What're we doing today?"

"We need a big payout today."

She nodded.

"Okay--you have to be my arms and legs!"

"I usually am." He replied, chuckling to himself.

"You should carry me on your back or your front or something," she suggested. "Then I can just tell you where to walk."

He nodded to himself.

"Yes...Alright."

"Do you own a papoose that does not contain a baby?" she asked.

"...I don't even know how to respond to that."

She rolled her eyes.

"What about duct tape?"

"Why would we need duct tape?"

"So I don't fall off your back--duh."

"...Maybe we should wait."

"...DO you have a large backpack?" she asked suddenly.

"I might...I can look."

"If you can find something like that, I'll probably fit~" she said cheerily. "I can even smack pickpockets on the head."

"Sit tight here, then."

Unable to do much else, she obediently stayed where she was.
