[If peace offerings are traps-- and yeah, all right, they usually are in one way or another-- this is definitely a trap.]
nah. but if it helps us both get what we want I dont see the harm in it
besides. you had my back when I was snapping at just about everything in sight. fairly certain I owe you something for it
[Sanity back in her head, Chloe remembers the look on Sonya's face during that discussion, or at least the finer, more Jesse-related details; they're both on the same team in her eyes.]
[And Sonya, on her end of things, gives a self-conscious little squirm.]
Well, it was my job to have your back. And I wasn't exactly "not an asshole" to you. I think there are other people who deserve debt-repayment a lot more than I do.
A rather than B. Misdirection has never been my problem (ha ha ha, obviously; I'm a lawyer) but...let's just say there's a reason I was never a concert pianist. Or a surgeon.
Well, the "unkind" is more of a sticking point for me than the "illegal." I'm a prosecutor & it's my job to uphold the law, etc etc etc, but there are broad swaths of law which are hot hunks of bullshit.
And trust me. When you work for the Manhattan D.A., you sort of lose your ability to be scandalized.
Then I definitely wouldn't be scandalized, if it's of that caliber. Not that I condone breaking the law at any point etc etc etc, but I've known my fair share of hoods and I've also known my fair share of lawyers and I've always found the former far more likable than the latter. Definitely easier to talk to.
Oh, none taken. Trust me, I do what I do because I have to, but that doesn't mean I'm proud of it. (Also, apt metaphor, especially since they're constantly squabbling about money, often at funerals.)
Oooh, glamorous. (I assume we're talking about the exciting Pyramids-in-Egypt type robbing and not the gross sneaking-into-graveyards-with-a-shovel type robbing.)

Well, more to the point, I don't want you getting locked up again. You're kind of the client from hell...and I think jail just doesn't suit you.
