Adrian thinks for a moment. Even though he says otherwise, his decision is all but made before anyone gets on the ground floor. "It'll be later on then. Don't want yet another repeat of that first time, yeah?" And what he's probably referring to was a time that Harper ended up, for completely legit reasons in the eyes of most of the gang, punching out one of the new recruits. Even if it didn't happen often at all, he liked to joke around and speak as if every time Harper so much as took a nap near their turf, somebody got a punch to the face.<br/><br/>(And more germanely, even if his own pad is open to Harper, it's cramped as hell for one Orc.)<br/><br/>The rest of his offer gets cut off by the sound of a quarter-dozen or so Lone Star cruisers speeding by, sirens blaring. But whatever has them out on the streets is enough that they're ignoring all the gang colors.<br/><br/>"Well,  you're free to crash with me if you can't find a place soon. Or in one of our safe houses." This was old hat to both Harper and Adrian, a way of saying that it would be later that he'd take some payment without letting everyone in the gang know that there were people that could get that kind of deal off of him.<br/><br/>But those that did know would rib him a few days down the line, about how, should Harper accept, Adrian would rather loudly demand things that she actually liked, or if she didn't, then about what (usually non-sexual) thing he desperately needed to find in the next few days.
