[ he doesn't expect to escape the lecture. in all honesty, it would be quite strange to go without one. after all that's happened... after all the things he did. not right now, though, right now that is about the last thing he needs. he'd rather get drunk to the point where he can forget about it all, for a little while at least.
he hears Evie's reply just well enough, assuming she's looking for exactly what he asked about-- and so he goes ahead and picks up a spare set of clothes from his room (which is as cluttered and crowded as everything else in this place) while she's at it, which he deposits in the bathroom to change into and hopefully smell less burnt. no spare gloves... but then, they're not out to be seen tonight, ideally not by anyone. the back of his hand should make no difference. it's a little easier not to think when he's moving, when he has something to do, so he's grateful for more than one reason when Evie turns up. his smile is still tense, but it's there. ]
Thank you. [ for this, but more than just this, too. of course he takes the box, flips open the lid-- there it is. this is where he'd close the door and get on with it, but not before another question. ] D'you have a place in mind to go to for our heist?
