Rusty flashes the pair of bounty hunters a rare half smile. Rusty nods at his warning and begins repairs. 'He sure is jumpy... Oh well... Something about him seems familiar... Maybe from that one time I got locked up as a teen by a government after I refused to help with their projects? His armor could be that tech I refused to help create because how dangerous it was... Oh well... Focus on now... Not then...'

While Rusty was working, Nickel remain immobil, as stiff as a board. His eyes however analysed every one of the woman's movement to the best of his hability, he coudn't see everything of course but being able to see her work even partialy helped him stay calm. He coudn't even remember the last time he had willingly allowed anyone to be this close for that long, still, she looked like she was thinking about somthing. " You ... seem acustum to my type of armor... ever seen one like it before ?"

"I saw plans that looked really similar once... I refused to help make it because of how dangerous it was. The government who was planning to make it decided they would rather lock me up instead of risking me helping their enemies. I was a teen and already knew I had no interest in choosing sides... Or helping governments because none of them have gotten this far without numerous innocent deaths... The all have stabbed so many in the back or just destroyed their lives." Rusty sighs and flashes him a faint smile. "I spent time trying to destroying all their blueprints and files but they might have had prototypes... I didn't have the ability to check. I'm sorry. This must have hurt when it was fitted to you and living with it must be.... troublesome" 'Painful. Hard.' Rusty finishes the repairs and nods in acceptance of the finished work. 'He is strong if he can survive this armor's problems. But, it is to expected of someone who survived the horrible procedures that would have been required to fit this to him. This armor is not something that comes without its own problems... Even without the procedures.' Rusty stands up slowly and stretches before putting away her tools, "You are welcome to come here any time. For repairs or a place to stay. I will see what I can figure to make the armor less bulky and easier to exist with."

If he could have stiffen any more then he already was it was a safe bet to belive that Nickel would have done so, he wasn't expecting her to know that mutch about his past as an experiment. After hearing that she had tryed to stop the tests from happening however the armored human felt a bit more trust toward the small woman, enough to allow her to work on him again in the futur as long as it wasnt for unnown purpuse. '' Spite can make a dead man keep fighting through anything, it's a fact of life with humans... I woudn't be opposed to get back some mobility, i do wonder how the regeneration module would react to it tho."

Rusty smiles faintly when she senses that he trusts her. She is glad he accepted her help and looks forward to working with him. "I guess we will have to see... I look forward to working with you to help you." Rusty makes sure to word in a way that shows he will have a lot of input in the repairs. She knows how much it hurts to be seen as an experiment or an outsider/freak. Rusty wants to make sure he is comfortable with how the repairs go and feels safe in her shop and around her and Haz. She would hate herself if Haz got hurt.

Nickel nodded in agreement, working with someone was a bit out of his habit but it was better then being worked on by someone. For him everything had a price tho and he wasn't going to get caugh like a fool, nothing was ever done without a raison, especialy a deal like this. '' What do you want in exchange ?"

Rusty sighs... 'Oh course he would think I want something in return...' "Uh... I don't really want anything... I guess maybe if the opportunity came up you could recommend this repair shop to others... And keep me informed on any bounties on me and/or Haz... She can be annoying but she is useful... And a lot better with people then I am..." Rusty chuckles lightly and smiles faintly. She remembers when Haz first started working in the shop and would constantly be telling her off for how she talked to the customers. She was pretty glad she had found Haz and saved her... She wouldn't admit it but she did care about Haz... And maybe loved her like daughter...

Haz is blissfully unaware and is chatting with Virgil and is also joking around with Ashes. She seems to be enjoying the conversations and is effortlessly switching between talking with Virgil and messing/joking around with Ashes.

Virgil chats with Haz on general things. While Ashes laughed at each of her jokes and making some new jokes back. Ashes listens to Rusty's and Nickel conversation with his ears towards them and keeps in mind to see how Rusty and Haz got a bounty on their heads in the bounty board.

" Gathering information : understood" Nickel was slightly surprise by her demand, he was expecting to have to take out someone or protecting a target. It was a fairly easy task for him to do, well maby not the easiest all things considered but it was a rather low price. For a moment Rusty's look while speaking of the younger girl triggered a feeling of familiarity, somthing from deep within his past, from a vertion of him long dead by now. "Additional task : keeping the child named Haz safe if first task isnt sufficient..."

Haz laughs at Ashes' jokes. She notices that Virgil is distracted but chooses to ignore it.

Rusty nods her head in response to his comments. She switches her attention to the front of the shop for a minute as she hears Haz laugh loudly. A content look flashes across Rusty's face without her noticing. She looks back toward Nickel and flashes him a small smile.
