Tohru leaned back in the chair.
“Oh yeah, any luck with work?”

"Not yet, but I only sent out a resume a few hours ago. I don't expect any replies until tomorrow." he replied.
group
“I sent a few in a bit ago. Got a couple of automated responses saying the positions had closed, but we’ll see,” Tohru said, “I hope you’ll have more luck than that.”
"Alright. Me too, otherwise we aren't going to be able to pay the rent." he chuckled faintly, shaking his head.
group
“Yeah. I have some in savings, but not a ton. Worst case scenario though, I pick up a couple of bounties quietly,” Tohru said, “It’s not ideal, but it’s doable.”
(Gtg, bye!)
Davin nodded a little bit. "Yeah. We just have to hope we find some halfway decent jobs."
group
(See you!)
“Yeah, and if not, it’ll just be like I said. That’s how I lived before. It’s not a huge deal,” Tohru replied, “I’m sure we can find something though.”
(see ya!)
"Alright. And yeah, it won't be the end of the world. I just…I don't know." he shook his ehad a little, letting out a faint breath.
group
“Has it happened before? Where you tried to settle somewhere and couldn’t find work?” Tohru asked.
"Yeah. I just have to move on eventually, while I've still got the funds too." He replied with a shrug, looking down at his hands for a moment.
group
“Yeah… But between the two of us, we should be fine,” Tohru said, partially to reassure himself, “I’d hate to have to move because of something like that.”
Davin shrugged. "We're going to have to move on eventually." He replied, looking over at Tohru.
group
“Yeah, bit draining our funds in the process isn’t great,” Tohru sighed, “I always have some money to spare in case of emergency.”
Davin nodded. "I can…I know how to get into the Kaythani's old funds and use that. I just…prefer not to."
group
“Well, great. We’ll avoid it,” Tohru said, “And know it’s there as last resort.”
He paused for a second.
“I actually… might look into some bounties to collect, just in case none of my jobs pan out.”
Davin nodded a little. He didn't like using those old funds because they belonged to the dead. Not to him.
group
Tohru pulled out his device and started flipping through local bounties.
“A lot of gangs and stuff around here,” he said, “It wouldn’t be hard to find a target. And honestly, it wouldn’t be hard to find a target who I wouldn’t feel bad about killing or turning in.”
Davin nodded a little bit. "Yeah. Just so long as you don't take pity on them and bring them home." He replied with a faint laugh, gesturing to himself vaguely.
group
Tohru laughed.
“In my defense, this has never happened before,” he said, “And you weren’t a target to kill. It’s easier when they don’t… talk.”
He laughed faintly again. "Ah. I see." he replied, looking at Tohru and shaking his head slightly.
group
“You actually didn’t deserve to be captured,” Tohru explained, “If that makes sense. I have no problem stopping drug lords or killers, or corrupt politicians and businessmen, so that’s been the majority of my jobs.”
"Ah. Alright. Yeah, that makes sense." he ran a hand through his hair, letting out a quiet breath.
group
“Yeah, I mean… meeting the real me was probably a little… offputting,” Tohru laughed, “I’m not the ruthless killer kind of bounty hunter that tends to be the face of the job.”
He laughed at that. "Yeah, nah." he replied, shaking his head. "One moment we were kissing, and then there was handcuffs, which I…kinda thought was a kink, if I'm honest, so I was thinking "alright, bit weird to do this without any prior discussion, but I'll let it go" and then you pull a gun on me."
group
Tohru felt a little heat flood his cheeks.
“Yeah, I could’ve gone about that in a better way… but for the sake of capture, it was probably better you thought it was a kink,” he said, trying to laugh it off.
Yet, the talk made him weirdly nervous.
“But uh… I didn’t even end up capturing you, so now it just feels weird. There were a hell of a lot of things I did not intend on doing that night. I’m usually better under pressure…”
He laughed a little bit. "Yeah. I kinda figured after you pulled a gun on me that you never had any intention of sleeping with me." he replied with a shrug, not seeming overly bothered by that fact.
group
"Yeah… ugh… I'm still sorry about that. I shouldn't have pulled the gun so quickly, much less actually pulled the trigger," Tohru sighed, scratching the back of his neck, "I don't really know what struck me."
(gtg sorry)
"Yeah. It's fine." he replied, touching the bandage and shrugging his shoulders as he looked over at Tohru.
group
(Bye!)
“Alright, alright…” Tohru said, a hint of surrender in his voice, “I just have a lot of regrets about all that happened. It’s been eating away at me.”
(actually never mind, on for a while longer!)
Davin shrugged again. "It's fine, Tohru. Not the first time I've been shot or anything, don't worry about it."
