[She's pretty sure having to kill Walter would break Jesse compeltely beyond repair, so...]

Just don't actually break him, okay? I like him in one piece.

[jo..kes...?]

I'm only going to threaten him. Don't worry, he's used to it.

I'd point out that it loses effectiveness if you never follow through, but this is Saul we're talking about.

[she loves him, but he's kind of a coward.]

I don't need to follow through. My threats are enough.

[absolutely a coward]

Sometimes that's the fun part.

[Steph you enjoy violence too much.

She finally picks up the apple Mike brought her, taking a bite.]

I know. But only when it comes to certain people.

[because Mike's followed through on a lot of threats before. Saul's just fun to bully]

I'm shocked Saul doesn't count.

[lbr he's kind of annoying.]

I don't break the legs of the guy who pays me.

[there is no denying that]

[That gets a huff of a laugh, despite everything.]

I guess that's one way for him to keep himself safe.

It's the only way he kept himself safe from me following through.

Guess it's lucky he has me, now.

[It's not a threat, she's just playing.]

I threatened him the other day and he took off. I don't think you've got to worry much.

[that was the highlight of Mike's day, right there]

[Oh no she laughs again. Dammit, Mike.]

How come he can go out and fight zombies like an idiot, but he still runs away from you?

It's a well-honed skill.

On his part or yours?

Mine, of course.

I thought you might be complimenting his skill at saving his own ass.

[Steph be nice.]

And let word get back that I gave him a compliment? Hell no.

You think I can't keep a secret?

[sir she is offended]

I'm not saying that either.

Too chicken?

[steph.......]

[Mike just looks at her. Steph pls]

[She spreads her arms out in a lazy shrug, and in a little bit of a challenge.]

[he's just going to finish off his coffee, tyvm]

[And she's just going to look way too fucking smug as she eats that apple.

She looks like she might actually start clucking at him to mock him at any moment, but luckily she has some professionalism where the clininc is concerned.

Some.]
