i don't mind compassion
See. There are very few things Locke is touchy about. Sure, he gets pissed off easily enough but there are few things that really set him off. Sadly for Remi, he's found one. Locke's eyes narrow and he leans forward a little, "She's still a fucking person, Remi. You wouldn't assume a restaurant is going to shut down because the chef eats out sometimes, would you?" He huffs, trying to will himself to relax. Long forgotten are the cards in his hand as he stares down the other man. "She isn't just a whore."
He'd laugh at the honesty thing, he really would, if his thoughts weren't so sour. Some part of him is glad the pair are okay but his mind keeps reeling him back into places he doesn't want it to be. He looks at his cards again, trying to distract himself as Remi talks. His jaw is going to hurt later but it's fine.
His lips purse slightly at the response he's given and he wants to retort, say something rude, but he refrains. "Fuck man. I can usually go a few times. Half the fun is the in between, working each other back up, ya know?" But Locke is maybe a little cursed in the sex department. "Shame, really." He wants to tack on something about how good Maeve is but it might defeat the point of his previous remarks.
"Aww too bad. Would've loved to have you pick off my enemies for me as a prize for a game of cards." There's mirth behind it, something that's just leaking out of his bones at this point. "Tell me about Ludo, if I win. Tell me how to get on their good side. If I lose, well, depends on what you want. I don't have anything to offer you. Favors maybe, myself, but that's it." Don't ask why Locke wants on Ludo's good side.
