It was odd really. To hear him talk to me like I was some stranger..with that tone which was clearly dispassionate. As if he was entertaining me for the sake of work. I disliked that..but I guess it couldn't be helped. I smiled when he said I was lucky. "I sure am I guess..to be able to find someone like you nearby. Besides, the mischevious boys running around..god knows what they would've done to this machine if I was stuck in some other place. Had an encounter with them few days back when one of those punks tried to spraypaint my car until I chased him away." God, this was an awful attempt at making small talk, but I was going to try my best to keep the conversation flowing.<br/><br/>Watching Danial go about working his way through car was a familiar sight which made me nostalgic for a brief moment. His long, slender fingers moving over the bonnet and handling the machine as if it was something brittle which shall wreck at slightest hint of rough handling. "I'm new over here..came in this year, taking my class in photography." I added, might as well continue with the lie I told in the dorm. It only seemed logical to do that. "Thank god it's nothing major..I was rather worried you know?" I smiled at Danial as he said i'll be on my way to soon. I actually didn't want to be on my way so soon! But hey, you gotta play your cards right if you want to achieve the end goal. "The payment? Oh yeah..totally man. You came here in time of my need..you're a lifesaver and whatever your charges for getting this work would be..it's fine by me. I'm not the kind of fellow who would just use someone like that."<br/><br/>I added quickly, wondering if some asshole had disappeared in past without making payment to Danial. That thought kinda pissed me off..because he just worked so hard for things like these!
