all my troubles on a burning pile
There was a moment when he met her gaze that he thought she might actually do it, plunge the knife in and let him get reluctantly shoveled into Mort's damned realm, else haunt the streets of Haulani forever. He didn't realize he wasn't breathing, just staring blankly, heart pounding skin hot and slick with sweat. And then she backed off him, the cool knife removed from his vein, and he let out the air that'd been trapped in his chest.
He didn't straighten up like she did, he wasn't a proud man. He was a street rat, he got his thrills from stealing, taking out his anger on anyone who got in his way, and surviving. He didn't care about appearances, and so with a rumbling sign he turned around back to the wall and lowered himself to the ground, leaning his head back against the wall and glancing up at her as he pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.
Now that this was over, he didn't really care what she had to say. They'd had their fun, the fuck was she still hanging around for? The boy popped the smoke in his mouth, reaching up to his neck to run his finger along the shallow cut there. He grinned at the blood on his fingers, turning his attention only halfway back to her when she spoke. His grin widened as she finished, his only response was that and a lazy middle finger.
