[Shin leans forward again, looking between his legs to hide his face a bit. No way he wanted them to see him looking like he's going to cry, but he is relieved. And he knows he's lucky. No matter how tough he can act, and scary a look he could give, his story would probably make it to the news, or some guard might spill it, and that would be it. He'd get tossed around like a rag doll.

He covers his face with a hand, trying to hide his emotions. He'd be lying if he said he wasn't terrified. He manages to keep his voice steady, if low,] Thanks.

Don't mention it. Just don't go looking for any kinda trouble you can't get yourself out of, alright?

Can't always promise one'a us'll be around, yanno?

And some'a these guys like to 'forget' stuff they don't like.

Not really planning on it, but I've been known for a lack of self-preservation.

That's alright, Chow ain't got the best impulse control neither.

Shut it!

[Does punching Ratso in the ribs just prove his point?]

Maybe we'll see about teaching you some self defense skills. Might need 'em either way.

[Shin chuckles darkly,] Yeah, because I could totally fight someone off.

Don't sell yerself too short, kid. I ain't so big myself, but it don't stop me from kickin' all kinds'a ass.

Yeah, he was havin' trouble with people tormentin' him when we first met 'im. Now even I wouldn't wanna get into a real fight with him.

And a word of advice: don't be afraid to fight dirty. Solid muscle's gonna do jack squat against a kick to the balls.

[He turns to look at Finn with a smirk,] Do I look like I'd be afraid to fight dirty?

[Shrug.]

Some people think it's bad for their pride. I say, not as bad as getting your ass kicked.

An' that's what tends ta happen ta those idiots, too.

You don't get into the music industry by playing nice.

True enough. Not if you don't wanna get trampled by the competition, anyway.

We were trying to not get known for having ties with Trapnest, but that blew up, so we just milked it.

Lemme guess, someone went nosin' around where you didn't want 'em?

It's what the mosquitoes do. Found out our lead singer has a relationship with their guitarist... who used to be our bassist. I took over that role before me made it big.

Lemme guess, the naysayers like to claim you're only famous 'cause of those connections.

Pretty much.

Forget that we already got signed before that leaked.

The two bands are from the same area and hung out together when they were younger.

That's the music business for ya. Any little thing, man...

Helps if yer style'a music didn't die with the seventies, though.

Rock and roll never dies.

Unlike Disco.

Hey, shut it!

He's right, though.

Yeah, pretty sure Disco died tragically before I was born.

Disco is forever, man!

In yer dreams, maybe.

He kinda never let the seventies go.

[Shin has managed to relax enough to at least laugh over that.]

Music always ends up coming back into style eventually.

Exactly! And I'm tellin' you, Disco's due for a revival!

Yeah, maybe in a hundred years or so.

[Shin's keeping his mouth shut on that one. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth is a good piece of advice, but he figures saying something would be more like punching a gift horse in the mouth.]

That's it, I'm goin' to bed. You assholes can laugh it up without me.

[And he makes a dramatic showing of flopping down on his mattress and closing his eyes. It's pretty obvious he's not actually asleep.]

Diva.

Don't worry, he ain't really upset. He just likes bein' dramatic.

Should have been an actor. Probably would have done well.
