First thing they do
is to substitute pleasure for pain
Olavi appreciated someone who could take a joke, especially one that was pretty much true. "What's Zeph got you runnin' for, then? Does he pay well? I saw him with another boy recently..." A slight smirk came over Olavi's face and he raised an eyebrow as he looked back up at Milo. "...Wondered if he was training someone new up. You're not worried you're getting too old for his work, are you?"
Milo's sense of humour worked again, Olavi forgiving the moment of stupidity after the joke. "No flying." Honestly, quite a terrifying idea: he often felt unnerved by the small amount of surface he could access above the waves, waist-high; to go higher sounded uniquely awful.
"...I've been there when deals with Jack were made. I don't do much of the dealing myself, though. Never been much for the circles they all talk around each other - I just punch when things get too hot." Olavi was not under any delusions that he had an intellectual part in the business he was involved in: that was Nerissa's job. "..Haven't had to actually enforce anything in a whiiiile, though. You humans are getting soft."
