just like that, Tek considers himself entirely absolved. he grins back, teeth sharp, entirely unrepentant.
he wanders over to the pieces of furniture meant for clients to leave their clothing and important belongings on so he can shrug out of his coat. it's closer to where Tonic is standing, but there is still a safe, comfortable amount of distance between them.]
...It was either that, or the roof. [he adds, with a little gesture up and over his shoulder. it implies a lot, and it's all horrible. he's having fun again.]
