Re: [Quick-log: Eddie N/Svetlana K]
Ah. [Eddie was always amused by Svetlana's position (or lack-there-of) about love. He couldn't blame her since most women who were forced into the life she was ended up the same. Cat was the only one that came out of her life a romantic, even if she was likely destined to be a lonely one like Eddie himself.] Perhaps they can be happy together in poverty, then. [Eddie loved gossip almost as much as he loved being snarky. Being able to combine the two provided endless entertainment for him.]
You could not fix machine, but I would love to watch you try. [Eddie challenged, took another shot of tequila. He savored the burn, adding a little "ouch" from the back of his throat before roguishly sipping his coca cola.] I have a broken Pac-Man, if you'd like to try your hand?
[Back to Russia:] I don't really know, honestly. I don't ask questions beyond where, what they need me to hack and how much time I have. Been working with Cat so long, I know whatever it is, it's on the level. I'm the only one that can play ball with Russian hackers, so I figured I'd go along. See, that's real work. You should be proud of me.
