Zeke answered her question with a question and even though it avoided the information she actually wanted, she had a feeling there was purpose there. Her hands were quieting. The thing about inhaling was it usually started to take effect pretty quickly. Whatever Zeke had given her was quality shit too. She might have to start smoking more than taking pills.
”May I?” she asked, indicating his joint. She was a thief, but there were certain people she wouldn’t steal from - primarily her dealers. Zeke was one of those now too.
He handed her the joint and she took another drag, feeling the calm overtaking her. This was another good thing about inhaling. The pills numbed everything - it could be hard to get through the mind fog - especially if she was binging. But this - she was still lucid while feeling the effects. Deep inside she felt a warmth. The warmth she felt when she had been angry at the woman when she was sick, but this time, she felt herself relax into it like a warm bath. She luxuriated in that warmth and looking at the joint, wondered if the ember at the end of it burned a little brighter as she handed it back to Zeke.
”That’s really good stuff,” she said with a smile before turning to Zeke’s question. ”Most of the people I fight don’t know how to fight back. They try to take my stuff and I show them that’s not polite,” of course after the fight, she usually took their stuff, but that didn’t matter. ”Yesterday - with three of them - it was a challenge at least. I was lucky - should have lost. But anyways - it’s more fun when they hit back.”
