Hey, I may have a part-time job at the theatre, but this is the easiest money I'll ever make.

(gems are laid out before them, shining with promise. there are several, but jonas is only willing to commit to one at a time. he's only got two hands and one of those is reserved for scratching his nose and adjusting himself. there are limits to what he's willing to sacrifice here.

his fingers wiggle, palm outward and facing a potential hand-holding partner.)

C'mon, fifty-fifty split. Ten coins per crystal... so that's—that'd be, like... five coins per person. Or—wait, Esmeralda said ten per crystal per person, right? So... So, like, half of ten—twenty would be ten.

(ahem.)

Yep. (the "p" is popped.) Eating good tonight.

[ truth be told, this is also the easiest money that eddie's every going to make too. also probably the most legal easy money he's going to make in his life. or not life. in the life he's been granted in death? or whatever this place actually is because he's less sure the more he talks to people about it.

he's seated next to jonas, long legs stretched out in front of himself as he looks at the gems and barely follows along with what the guy's saying. math wasn't eddie's strong suit in school, along with any other subject taught there. ] Yeah, ten per person and she didn't give anyone a limit right?

We could be eating like kings tonight. [ and for weeks after all for a little hand holding! eddie leans forward to pick up a gem and then holds his hand out, palm up. he's with you on the one hand to spare at the moment, jonas. ]
