The Hacker (1 on 1 w/No More Pretending)

[Kera]

Gaige looked at her "It is what it is, i don't mean to sound cruel but you can sugar coat in any way you want it's still struggling trust me, i lived on the streets for many years before all this and is was one of the most difficult periods in my life" he said.

 

[No More Pretending]

"Well," she said. "I refuse to take handouts."

 

[Kera]

Gaige grew silent "Than I pretty much wasted my own time and yours" he said.

 

[No More Pretending]

She stood. "I'm sorry to have disappointed you, sir."

 

[Kera]

Gaige shook his head "You're not disappointing me, but eventually the struggling and living on edge eventually takes it's toll sorry if i sound pessimistic that's not my intention as I just call it like i see it" he said.

 

[No More Pretending]

She rolled her eyes. "Well, I just plan to work hard so maybe I can own a house, then I'll think about possibly finding someone and starting a family. You know, classic feminine aspirations."

 

[Kera]

Gaige raised an eyebrow "If you're working hard for a maybe, perhaps you should rethink what you're doing in life since it sounds you're clouded by uncertainty" he said.

 

[No More Pretending]

"why are you worried about my future?"

 

[Kera]

Gaige raised his eye brow "I'm not I just like helping whomever I can that's all" he said.

 

[No More Pretending]

She sighed and nodded. "It just is a bit too much for you to say when we don't know each other, so sorry if I'm defensive."

 

[Kera]

Gaige looked "I only offered as a nice gesturing Paying it Forward pretty much" he said.

 

[No More Pretending]

"Well a nice gesture of that magnitude comes with a price where I come from."

 

[Kera]

Gaige looked at her "Name a price" he said.

 

[No More Pretending]

"Last time someone made a nice gesture, they expected to get some action from me. What do you want from me? What do you gain?" She asked.

 

[Kera]

Gaige thought for a moment "I wish to get to know you better that's all." he said

 

[No More Pretending]

"You can do that without paying."

 

[Kera]

Gaige looked at her "Perhaps but don't wish to withdraw my offer" he said.

 

[No More Pretending]

She sat down.

 

[Kera]

Gaiged gazed at her.

 

[No More Pretending]

She looked at him. "So, what do you want to know?"

 

[Kera]

Gaige looked at her "I mean as friends not like an interrogation" he said.

 

[No More Pretending]

"Yeah, I know. But I thought a Q&A would be an easier way to find out important details."

 

[Kera]

Gaige looked around "The important details come with time we barely know each other" he said.

 

[No More Pretending]

"So, ask questions to find out. I'll start. What is your favorite show?"

 

[Kera]

Gaige looked at her "No TV show interests me nowadays they usually all have the same boring plot in my opinion heh" he snickered.
