Now that we're getting all cozy and settled in here, it has occurred to me that I'm without some of my kit from back home, and I'm starting to feel a little naked without it.

I'm thinking of doing a little DIY to rectify that, so if anyone would be a dear and is willing to part with:

- windshield wipers
- hose clamps
- old brassieres (underwire only)
- a propane torch
- pliers
- a grinder

I'd be grateful and maybe even inclined to owe you a favour.

EDIT:

A GUN WOULD BE NICE TOO :)))

Who said anything about them being nice.
I can live without the bras, it's comfy without them.
Besides, I know someone who prefers me without them, so not losing much.

[flynnitomite]

uuugggghhhhhhh

[tearsinajar]

Look, do you want these bras or not?

[flynnitomite]

I do, yes

[tearsinajar]

Should I give them to Nate to pass on to you or should I meet you somewhere?

[flynnitomite]

Drake and don't much cross paths and I think we'd like to keep it that way

[tearsinajar]

Right. Then I'll meet you.

[flynnitomite]

there's a shitty little bar in the 5th region we can rendezvous at

[tearsinajar]

Shitty little bar, got it.

[flynnitomite]

it's a date, then. see you there ;)

[tearsinajar]

[ Some time later during that same day; she's in 5th region but... ]

So why 5th region? You realize how many shitty little bars there are?

[flynnitomite]

[Flynn has made use of his time plying his trade to acquire a few needed tools]
I like the ambiance i guess.

where are you at now?

[tearsinajar]

At the corner of a building that looks like a castle.

Am I looking for a hole in the wall?

[flynnitomite]

You're definitely cold. I'm in a much shittier part of town. just a moment

[About a minute later, he's sent her a more precise location and an unintentionally blurry selfie of himself out front]

[tearsinajar]

Why am I not surprised...?

[ She doesn't answer him but she uses the information and image to make her way there, showing up minutes later.

Oh. There he is.

Slow, deep breath. This is the first time she's speaking in person with him since the very first day he'd arrived. She doesn't have Nate here and he doesn't know she's here. ]

Hey.

[flynnitomite]

[She's smaller than he remembers, somehow. He dwarfs most people, but it's particularly striking just how tiny she is in person. Perhaps it's the memory of that right hook that makes her feel taller in his mind. He returns her greeting with a nod.]

I see you made it.

[tearsinajar]

With some help.

[ A small, brief smile. It's true, she wouldn't have found the place without his directions.

Her eyes lift up to his; it's not as scary, the two of them, meeting alone. He isn't as intimidating. ]

So. You needed underwires?

[flynnitomite]

Sorry 'bout that. I'm getting used to the lay of the land myself.

[He shrugs.]

Underwire is precisely what I need, yeah.

[tearsinajar]

[ Elena casts a look around. ]

We doing this here or inside?

[flynnitomite]

[He jerks his thumb at the entrance.]

Why don't we go in and have a sitdown and a drink? Trust me, this will be less weird if you see what I'm up to.

[tearsinajar]

A drink, sure. I could use a small one.

[ One last glance at him before she takes a step toward the bar. But then Elena pauses and makes a face, eying him. ]

You're just going to use the underwires? You aren't planning on like taking the fabric back with you and sniffing it, are you?

[flynnitomite]

What kind of pervert do you take me for?

[He's a little offended that she didn't come to the 'going to wear them' conclusion. It would be wrong but it wouldn't be so creepy and weird.]

[tearsinajar]

I don't know what you do in your spare time, Harry, nor do I want to know. I'm just saying - no sniffing.

[ Elena gives him one last look before heading to the front entrance. ]

[flynnitomite]

No sniffing, cross my heart.

[He puts those long legs of his to work to outpace her and open the door like a gentleman.]

[tearsinajar]

Good. Or else I'll be sticking a needle in your eye.

[ She starts as he brushes past but doesn't let it show. Only her brows come up as he's holding the door open for her and she murmurs her thanks, slipping inside.

Funny, has he always been so gentlemanly? Maybe it's just because he's getting her bras. That has to be it. ]
