i don't mind compassion
Oh don't worry Rigby, he's thought very much about socking you. Maybe later. Or next time. Surely there will be a next time. But it seems the offer of something in exchange has caught his attention and as much as Locke likes fighting, he'd rather not. Can only get your nose broken so many times after all.
"Well, I've got this pretty ring. Or, if you'd rather something more worth your time, can call me up for a favor. I've got some connections and things." Who doesn't in Torchline? Like really. But it's always good to expand your network. "Pretty well versed in lots of things. You know, fighting, lifting heavy shit, acquiring goods in general. Could be useful. I have some fun skills too." The last part is punctuated with a wink because of course it is. Really, offering favors can be pretty dangerous. But Locke likes danger as much as the next dumbass.
But he holds up the ring anyway. In the dim light, it would appear golden, shiny, with a red gem embedded in the top. A pretty thing indeed. "Doesn't fit my lady quite as well as that necklace would. I'm sure you understand."
