"Don't make it weird," Rory quipped, shifting so she could more easily work. But Rory faltered for a second at what Broen said. Was it surprising? Yes and no.

"Sugar mama, right, sure. Yes, I am. She's," And Rory had to think about it. Zora wasn't bad per say, but she made the common mistake of tensing up. Thinking too much. "She has a long way to go. She freezes up too much. She fights when she should deflect. That said, she has absolutely zero experience so all that is to be expected."

"You said I could talk about whatever. So if I wanna talk about you giving me a handjob, I fuckin' will." He huffed and turned so that he was lying on his stomach on the couch. If she was giving him a massage, he might as well get the full experience.

"But yeah, I figured all of that. She's a rich white woman. Doesn't know shit. You kick her ass? I can't be saving her from every cocksucker on this island if she gets into trouble. I'm just defenseless arm cany, after all."

Rory waited until Broen was comfortable across the couch and her lap — which was awkward, but Rory wasn't about to sit on the ground and she'd fight him for this fucking couch.

"I did say that, doesn't mean I won't call you a freak for it."

Rory missed touching people. She missed ruffling Eddie's hair and laying her head on her mom's shoulder while they watched TV. Broen didn't compare to those things, but there was no denying a certain comfort in touching anyone. It was the same euphoric feeling she'd gotten massaging Jude.

"Oh, yes. You're so very defenseless. I could never see you kicking anyone's ass ever." She rolled her eyes and ran fingers through his hair. "No, I didn't kick her ass. That wouldn't have been an effective training method when she didn't know any defense mechanisms. I demonstrated."

"Eh. I'm less of a freak than a lot of the assholes on this island. I saw a personals ad for someone to come cannibalize the person who put out the ad. Like what the fuck," Broen said with a laugh.

"Well hopefully she can learn. Frankly she seems like she's making a lot of enemies lately. It'd be real nice if some masked Samaritans could swoop in and kick some ass and save me the trouble." A beat and a slight readjustment as he shook his head.

"Don't do that. The hair thing."

Rory hummed. "Whoever would, though?" she asked, sounding entirely perplexed by the idea.

Immediately upon request, Rory's hand slid from his hair back to his back. She frowned, tilted her head curiously, but decided it was better not to ask. Broen was the type of person who liked being guarded, he didn't seem to do well when prodded.

She shifted a little, careful not to disturb and set her head back against the couch, taking to trailing the tips of her fingers along his back in a feather-light touch.

Broen grumbled and adjusted so that his face was turned slightly towards Rory. He looked up at her and then looked away, agitated.

"I'm feeling generous. This massage is nice. So, you get one question. But nothing fuckin tricky or vague. Gotta be specific."

Rory huffed in a half-laugh. Then, she debated internally, not about what she could ask but about what she should ask. It was one of those odd moments — she recognized it. The kind of subtle break or make situations that came about in everyday life between two people have what was (mostly) a casual conversation.

Rory was trying to remember lessons We The People had taught them, hell lessons her mother had taught her, but it was somewhere during all that, that Rory couldn't. She laughed. The sharp laugh that came from a sudden realization.

"Nah. I'm not going to play that game."

Broen sat up and furrows his eyebrows at Rory. Not quite a glare, but almost. "It's not a fuckin' game, bitch. I liked the massage. I made the offer." He was not about to let her do this, jerk him around when he was making something like an attempt.

He teleported over to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of over the counter medication, popping a few of the pills to deal with the dull ache in his skull. His irritation was making more aware of the pain, almost like he could see exactly where the metal was.

Rory almost sighed, but she held it. Interacting was difficult, interacting with Broen felt nearly impossible half the time.

"I'm sorry," she told him, genuine but also trying to swallow down some self-frustration. "I don't want you offering because you feel like you owe me, though."

She paused a beat, still feeling awkward and trying to think up what might have been a safer question. Ah. She had it.

"Why the hell do you always think I'm trying to trick you or pull one over on you?"

Broen teleported back over, rubbing his forehead and cursing under his breath. "I do owe you though. S'a fact of life. And you seem oh so curious to get to know me, so I figure it's an even trade."

He waited patiently for her to ask her question, but when she did he went kind of slack-jawed. "Really? You pitch me a slow ball? Alright alright. Your waste of a free ask."

"Maybe you're not trying to pull one over on me. But you're not doing this out of some sense of true altruism. There's always an angle, even for the supposedly noble and pure. A man gives to charity so people will pat him on the back. Even if he gives anonymously, he gets a tax write off. Even if he doesn't take the tax write off, he still gets to tell himself he's a good person in the mirror, even though he jacks off thinking about smashing his boss' brains in and fucking his wife."
