[Called it. The mark. The language is so old-timey conman as to be almost endearing, and Darlene's interest is shot through with a crinkled silvery thread of amusement. And eager interest, of course--and all of it almost enough to bury how annoyed she still is at being called sweetheart.]

( Bet your ass I'll be ready. )

[Similar to their previous conversation, Darlene's swaggering conviction that has a vibrant shock of truth to it.]

( Do I get a name or is this going to be an early b-day surprise for me? )

[detestable]

[ When you're raised by old-timey conmen, certain things stick, Darlene!!!!

But her excitement is a mirror of his own. This mission is far from ideal in so many ways, but Seth enjoys pulling off a plan. They're so close to enacting this one, and it's set to go smoothly. Seth can't quell just how much he enjoys that. ]

( Call it a surprise. We'll stick a bow on him for you. )

[nastygram]

( I like you. )

[Not really.

Well, kind of really. Appreciates would maybe be a better word for it. The recursive hype she gets off of Seth is a nice cycle-back of her own hype, like feeding like.]

( We do something really special with this and I might actually start to mean that. )

[detestable]

( Something for me to strive for, right? )

[ They'd get something out of this. Seth didn't see how they couldn't. It seemed like such a slam dunk, almost a cake walk with Richie's newfound skill in the mix. Maybe Darlene's excitement is ramping up Seth's confidence, but he isn't looking too closely at it. ]

( I'll be sure to tell my brother we have to impress on the job tomorrow. )

[ jk they always impress, this is unnecessary. ]
