[ whatever he was expecting david's next big thing to be, it certainly wasn't that. ]
Huh. [ rafe chews it over slowly, along with his bagel. the silence drags on for a long minute before he says anything else. ] That's actually a solid idea to go off of.
[ if there's surprise, it's only because david has never been the money-minded type. spending it, to be absolutely sure, yeah, and mostly on the most ridiculous sweaters rafe's ever seen this side of the eighties, but not so much in making it. he's never had to. (neither has rafe but that's besides the point.) his contributions were always geared more toward the arts which, y'know. fair enough. the effort was there.
but this is... smart. smarter than rafe was expecting but now turns over in his head, eyes slightly unfocused the way they always get when he starts visualizing account ledgers. ]
The local commerce angle and community focus probably makes you eligible for more than a few grants on multiple levels. You should be looking into that funding if you haven't already.
