"So yeah," Neo began speaking up, as he began slicing the salmon in front of him. "I'm sorry about that, babe. I really fuckin' thought that there ain't no problem with asking for dead motherfuckers back your store, ya' know? Just checkin' if your shop is worth shit."<br/><br/>"Hrmn." Rattus grunted. "So, it seems as if your superior is very secretive of the skeletons in your back room, Miss Davis. If you go by my personal opinion, he shouldn't be so startled by people asking for such if he doesn't want to attract any suspicion."<br/><br/>"But," Yukina was chewing a piece of the salmon, then swallowed it. She smiled serenely while rubbing the back of her head. "You should not have told us that they were fresh bodies, Lexi-san. People might get the wrong idea."<br/><br/>"Not exactly the wrong idea, Yukina." Rattus corrected her. "I'd say they might, instead, start to ask questions about the shop."<br/><br/>"And, by the way, about the dead man's head in the chest," Neo interjected. "As someone in my field of expertise, I'm as sure as shit when I say that it's the real deal. As in, it's really a dead man's fuckin' skull back there. No gimmicks or bullshit."<br/><br/>"Please, Neo." Rattus exhaled. "You shouldn't be telling Miss Davis about your life's work and involvement with corpses. I am sure she would not like to hear it, more so to carry it in the back of her mind."<br/><br/>"C'mon, Ratt." Neo whined. "I didn't even say shit yet, man. Now, you're giving her a hint of that shit."<br/><br/>"I'm sorry, Neo." Rattus replied, after he swallowed a piece of salmon. "Because, by the way your conversation is going, it would come to the point where you would reveal your unsavory experiences regarding death in general."<br/><br/>"Unsavory?" Neo chuckled. "They ain't 'unsavory' or anythin' fo' me, boss."<br/><br/>"Rattus-san, Neo-san, please talk no further about this matter." Yukina asked of them. "We are in front of a guest, and also in front of food. Please do not spoil it by talking about such bad things."<br/><br/>"I agree." Rattus acknowledged Yukina's plea. "What we should do, right now, is to discuss about something more palatable, such as that rumbling noise in the shop."<br/><br/>"Yeah." Neo agreed, then turned to Lexi. "So ba'e, ya' said somethin' about Seattle havin' that sort of shit naturally. Like, what is it, really? You know, the noise and shit?"
