@drake ◆ text ◆ post-museum finding

[nonscriptum]

[ It's not an olive branch, but then, Nate doesn't know what it is. As much as he hates it, he's trying to take the high road. ]

found a museum northwest of the town. half romanesque, half modern thing with a creepy sculpture garden out front. tons of stuff in the different halls.

thought you might want to know.

[ Rafe spends a good while staring at his tablet but no matter how he turns it over, he can't find the catch.

Grudgingly, he taps out a reply. ]

and?

[nonscriptum]

and it seems like something you'd be interested in.

[chardismastic]

[ Obviously he'd be interested, but. That's not the question Rafe's looking for an answer to.

Another long pause before the reply. ]

can't be all that much if you're already finished with it

[ That would make more sense. Nate's had his pickings, so now Rafe can go second and take what's left. ]

[nonscriptum]

i'm not "finished" with anything it's six huge halls worth of material we only just found

you don't HAVE to check it out, no one's got a gun to your head.

[chardismastic]

i don't get it

[nonscriptum]

i'm telling you the location of a historic resource, what's not to get?

[chardismastic]

last conversation we had wasn't exactly about sharing resources of any stripe

[ Which while impractical as hell, Rafe has done his best to respect. At least so far as Nate can see; behind closed doors is Rafe's own affair. ]

[nonscriptum]

jesus christ, rafe, do what you want. do who you want. i don't care

[ A lie, but not one he's keen to follow up on. ]

there's no catch. consider it a professional courtesy if it helps you sleep at night

[chardismastic]

[ That's... slightly closer to something Rafe can understand but still the why gnaws at him.

At least he has the grace not to call Nate's shitty bluff. ]

all right

any landmarks i should watch for on the way
