Where there's smoke

[Miguel Cabrera]

Good, that makes my job a lot easier. Let me know, so I can look him up in the database.

[Alvaro Castellano]

...
Sure.
/gives number with some trepidation

[Miguel Cabrera]

Thanks. I'll get back to you.

(some time later)

Says here he used to live in Hazleton, but moved away when he was a kid.
Why'd he come back then? Who would want to move back to this place?

[Alvaro Castellano]

Family maybe?

[Miguel Cabrera]

...I mean... I'd be doing everything I can to get my folks out of this place.

Which, by the way, there's a good trade college I've been eyeing for Nahuel in Seattle.
Just have to talk him into it...

[Alvaro Castellano]

*whistles*
All the way in Seattle, huh? But isn't he involved with somebody here?
Good luck with that one.

[Miguel Cabrera]

Not for long if the kid's what I think he is. *glowers*

Nahuel's safer in Seattle anyway. There's a large hunter association there, and I know some guys who'd keep an eye on him.

[Alvaro Castellano]

Hey I don't disagree. I'm just saying I know what it's like to be young, dumb, and in love.

[Miguel Cabrera]

I hate to break the news to you so suddenly, Alvaro, but

...you're still like that, my man.

[Alvaro Castellano]

What? Since when? With whoooo?

[Miguel Cabrera]

Since eleventh grade
With
Everybody

All the time

[Alvaro Castellano]

Nah-uh even with you? 🤔

[Miguel Cabrera]

Okay, fair point

...I'm not sure if that's supposed to be insulting or a relief

[Alvaro Castellano]

I thought you were straight bro.

[Miguel Cabrera]

You wouldn't be the first

Actually most people assumed I was asexual... Wonder why...

(He's robosexual, lbr)
