Vacationing

[sentryslinger]

[Continuing this thread, in which Spy has convinced Engineer to spend a vacation with him. Fishing, fine dining, and some enemy bonding ensue.


Engineer steps into the elevator, hitting the button for their floor, pulling at his collar to loosen that next button.]

Hey, thanks again for the dinner and the suit. I'll have to put it to use some other time to justify your spendin' money on all this.

I half-expect I wouldn't have to hire her at all, come to think of it. She'd probably show up on her own the minute somethin' important broke down. That's that job security I've got.

[not_onyourside]

You are quite irreplaceable. Which ees why I zhink you could get away wez anyzzing.

[sentryslinger]

[He lets out a laugh.]

Probably not anything, but more than most -- at least until they find a replacement for me.

[not_onyourside]

I do not find zhat likely. I have been on zhe teams for some time and zhere are not many people who can do what you do.

Or would be willing to.

[sentryslinger]

Guess it takes a special kind of man to sell his soul to the devil, doesn't it?

[not_onyourside]

Zhat ees not what I meant and you know it.

[sentryslinger]

I know. Can't help but feel that way sometimes. Just one of those things I'll have to make peace with eventually.

[not_onyourside]

Well eef I can help wez anyzzing, let me know.

[Anything]

Eet will all work out een zhe end. Perhaps eet will even all have been worzh eet. I suppose we shall see, oui?

[sentryslinger]

I suppose we will. Until then, I suppose you'll be here to make sure I relax every now and then. I will be takin' you up on that.

[not_onyourside]

I accept zhis most noble of responsibilities.

[He smiles and smooths out his suit a little.]

Zhis vacation ees just a preview.

[sentryslinger]

[There's a rumble of thunder somewhere in the distance, where clouds are gathering, ready to make their way across the clear sky overhead.]

So there's gonna be a lot of us gettin' cooped up inside? Hell, that's how I met ya.

[not_onyourside]

Eets natures' way of saying we should spend more time togezzer.

[Alone. Together. In a hotel room.]

At least we have much better accommodations zhan we did when we first met.

[sentryslinger]

True.

[He glances Spy's way.]

You're never going to forgive me for leavin' you with Pyro, are ya?

[not_onyourside]

Never. Zhat was four days of hell.

[Four days of being squished and fed cookies and dressed up.]

I could have died you realize.

[sentryslinger]

I had faith you'd make it out of there in one piece.

[not_onyourside]

And eef I did not?

[sentryslinger]

I can't imagine you wouldn't have, to be honest.

[not_onyourside]

I am not sure eef zhat ees a compliment or not.

[sentryslinger]

I'm just sayin' that I'm confident in your skills to get out of any situation. That, and I honestly don't think that Pyro would've hurt you.

[not_onyourside]

Because all zhe Pyros like you. Zhey do not like me. You are probably not as flammable.

[sentryslinger]

They'd like you if you gave 'em a chance.

[not_onyourside]

I would razzer not. Besides, I cannot understand zhem.

[sentryslinger]

Don't tell me a little ol' language barrier is going to stop you?

[not_onyourside]

Eet would not stop me een ozzer zhings.

Why are you so insistent on zhis?

[sentryslinger]

Because I know they're just tryin' to get along with everyone. It ain't always easy for 'em -- same as you.
