[a long pause, here. and then she kind of coughs a bit.] - ah, it's working?

...Um, yes... hello. [clears her throat.] This is Asano Rin. You can leave a message if you need.

Hell of a recovery.

[What the hell is he, really?]

I'll likely see you at the onsen again sometime soon then. Thanks.

[payback.livejournal.com]

You're coming back, then.

[deservesabone.livejournal.com]

Seems like the safest option.

[payback.livejournal.com]

Has Madara been fair to you?

[deservesabone.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Never treated me wrong.

[payback.livejournal.com]

What do you think of him?

[deservesabone.livejournal.com]

Tell you the truth, I don't know. ...He as good as saved me from that auction, considerin' where I would've ended up otherwise. And he's only ever treated me well. Gives me more freedoms than I thought I'd get. And the work's nothin' at all, really.

...His eyes are still creepy as all hell. But that's nothin' he can help.

[payback.livejournal.com]

Mmm. I'm kind of at sea myself, to be honest.

[deservesabone.livejournal.com]

Why? How's he treated you?

[payback.livejournal.com]

He's been more than helpful... he's helped me significantly more than once, in fact.

[deservesabone.livejournal.com]

So where's the "out to sea" bit come in?

[payback.livejournal.com]

I don't trust someone who gives something for nothing.

[deservesabone.livejournal.com]

[Sam bites back his first response of: 'You mean you don't trust nice people.']

...You know, sometimes companionship counts as somethin'. Could be he just likes you.

[payback.livejournal.com]

[Hey, girl knows she has problems. =/

And then there's the whole mess with Sasuke. But she's not going to share that part with Sam.]

Maybe.

Anyway, he treats me well, he's helped me out, so I stuck around and I'll stick around and see how things keep going...

[deservesabone.livejournal.com]

You should. 'Specially if the job pays well.

What will you do?

I'm assuming you don't want to be around, long-term. [As a slave. Not wanting to come out and say it.]

[deservesabone.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I'm open to suggestions if you've got any.

[payback.livejournal.com]

What's been tried?

[deservesabone.livejournal.com]

You say that like I've got options.

[payback.livejournal.com]

I'm assuming your friends here haven't just been woolgathering while all this has happened.

[deservesabone.livejournal.com]

[sore subject, Rin. Sam goes quiet.]

[payback.livejournal.com]

[A brief pause.]

... Can you work your price off?

[deservesabone.livejournal.com]

...Haven't asked. I was forty-six thousand. Don't know if anyone's offered to buy me back either.

[payback.livejournal.com]

Madara might be factoring room and board in. If he'd consider something like that.

[A pause; forty-six thousand is an amount of money that's hard for Rin to conceptualize.] How much would you make here, if you were a free man getting paid?

[deservesabone.livejournal.com]

Six or seven dollars an hour, since most people don't tip here.
