It was offhanded in a conversation about something else.

But weird how?

[Buddy if we're having a sleepover, we gotta GOSSIP.]

She thinks I don't value my work because I give people stuff.

[Just because Donnie likes giving things doesn't mean he doesn't know how valuable it is!]

...I mean, I love you my dear sweet twin brother, but you do give away a lot of free work in a situation where you could be trading for things.

[Ask him why he doesn't just portal everything for everyone ever.]

I-

Am aware of that, yes. [Its come up once or twice.]

But that does not mean I don't value my work.

I know that. You know that, Raph knows that.

Tryse may come from somewhere that it's different is all. Tomato-Hamato situation.

The pun completely negates the point of the metaphor.

Tryse does have a tendency to super impose her world's standards over everything, but still, she does not understand it when applied to herself. She's my teammate, I shouldn't be charging her for anything.

Agreed.

She asked me if I was going to charge a feed to enter Snail.

Are people charging fees to go into houses now?

Apparently Salamander does.

Me and Gojo keep saying those guys don't need any help from us...

I have never known Salamander to actually need help, though it is odd. Our relationship with Salamander should be fairly good.

Ours apparently is too. Yuki was over here making some deal where we help them in games and they do... nothing for us.

[Leo doesn't know Yuki that well, the only other Salamanders he knows are Leona and Power and he kinda hates them.]

Waste of time, personally.

...seriously? Nothing?

Yuki wasn't even willing to ask about gardening tools for the greenhouse and he was making that kind of deal?

Not that I know of. I barely know the guy, but he's important to a couple Snails so they were willing to do whatever. This was like... a while ago.

Still seems unfair.

...I wonder if its a strategy. I know Shirou can get in a 'throw the gamey' mood when he's focused on Jamil, we've had to reign him back a bit at times.

Who knows.

[Don't throw stones in glass houses, Leo, etc etc.]

I still don't see why Salamander needs help at all, it's stupid.

[MOST. BODY PARTS. ACQUIRED WIN. TO SALAMANDER.]

I don't know why either. Their win rate is Eleven to Eight from the games I know about and so far, most win ratios are around fifty percent as is.

Eeeexcept ours.

[Nine losses. In a row. and it looks like they might be headed that way again, who knows.]

Whatever. I'll just treat them like every other team you guys aren't on.

Yeah. Frankly I don't understand any team asking ours for help, go ask teams that aren't in the bottom bracket.

Hm, we do need to try to keep Salamander safe on Egg, but I'm not really interested in helping other teams win besides Snail. I wouldn't say no to Sparrow and Mouse, but they also do fine on their own.

They do take care of themselves pretty well. And even then, they've got enough going on with Finch and us, I think.

...maybe they really do have a strategy there. [SUSPICIOUS.]

Maybe...

I also kinda don't care.

[Not a turtle team and not a Hunter team.]

Fair. [Just something he might have to think about after he learns more about some Salamander Nonsense.]

Anyway, I value my work and Tryse needs to learn that not all gifts have to be transactions.

[He flops over more on Leo.]

So, mushy boyfriend plans.

[Brother flops. Yes, he is winning.]

What about 'em?

[He waves a hand in the air, closing his eyes.]

I'm sure you have some you're excited about and haven't been able to share with anyone yet.

Biggest thing right now is as soon as stuff settles down, we're gonna race. His blinking versus my portals, see who's faster.
