[ his question is good and logical don't you ignore it...
ah.
juno watches that little gesture and touches his cheek slightly. the theia adjusts almost self-consciously and juno shrugs it off, shaking his head. ] Ended up taking a job with this politician who just... he came out of nowhere, Nureyev. No records that weren't recent about... making soup kitchens and a whole lot of other too-good-to-be-true junk. He's been running for mayor in Hyperion and I - [ god this story sounds a little lame and juno's eyes travel a little from nureyev to the corner of the room and back. it's clear in the waver in his voice that like with everything else, juno barely trusts this "politician." there's a note of something in it as well, like he's grasping for something. his own reasoning, to convince himself that he's made the right choice. ]
Well, I took it. This guy, Ramses O'Flaherty, he's got good plans for the city. Might actually do something decent for Hyperion that it hasn't had in all the years it's spent in the gutter since Pereyra got elected. The guy hired me on as a personal PI... bodyguard kind of deal, but obviously - [ a vague wave to his eye ] - he wanted someone with a functioning pair of eyes so. Paid for the surgery to have this installed in my head a couple of weeks ago.

no subject
