'Course I care. By this point he is one of my favorites. I make bets because I want good things.
And at my level, all I do is make bets.
... That and I'm kind of addicted to making bets. Is' my vice.
That and the alcohol, I suppose.
So yeah- I care. I care a bit. I care.
But like- in a very uh... gardener way.
Like- caring for plants.
Wanting them to grow all nice and- flowery and good.

-Falls asleep with her head against the table-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?(Eyes Trudy and Yuri dazedly, clad in boxers, a t-shirt and a bathrobe that fits more like a small jacket than anything else, a sleeping kitten resting on his stomach.)
...Wh-what is—... uhhhhm... I-I-is she ill...?
(Sounds pretty hoarse himself, coughing a bit.)
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019

Al right- great- great.
So- this was back thirty years or so ago... maybe slightly more.
I made this bet that this- fuckin'- Bulgarian woman, could give birth to one of the greatest blood psychics.
No-one- fuckin- no-one believed me when I picked out this specific girl. So is like... I gotta work on this alone, to prove a point, yeah?
I fuckin... try to find anyone who would be a good match for her. Like- good guys- upstanding tourists. That kinda thing, yeah? Who does she fuckin' choose after all that? Local mob boss.
So I'm sitting at my home like- "Fuuuck what do I do- he's going to become a villain, I just know it!" 'cause y'know- unstable family life- father is mobster- son become mobster. That kind of thing.
So a few years pass- kid is in childhood. He seems good- but then most children- they're good. He starts running in a gang- expected- but still making me panic- because this is like- whether he is villain.
Someone who actually betted against me- is fuckin'... giving Rayko's childhood friend... like- the fall into villainy. So Rayko gets dragged into it. He tries to collect bet- I say "Not yet- give it a moment" and so, then I'm like- glad because it looks like he's on a line where he can go either way- bet is not settled on whether he is actually a hero or actually a villain.
Plus he is also not necessarily the greatest blood psychic as I thought he'd be yet...
So- then- recently- he disappears. He is around this place, I hear. So I am here- to like... check on his progress- and see how my bets are progressing.
'Cause- y'know- I don't want to be blind in case he flips into one or the other. Or if he gets a fuckin' wife because I have a bet on that too.
