I prefer not to piss off my colleagues if I can help it
It's antithetical to a good working relationship

[ check him out with the big words! guess who just talked to boyd like two hours ago and is still feeling it. ]

[nonscriptum]

[ If you think Nate won't call him on it you're dead wrong. ]

thoughtful AND verbose of you

[ultimatums]

Thank you
I just got done reading another chapter of the dictionary so I'm feeling a little circumlocutious

[ is that a word? no? should be. ]

[nonscriptum]

[ It is a word, but not one that will protect him from Nate being a little shit. ]

and you only just finished the letter c? how long have you been working on this?

[ultimatums]

Listen, we only had one dictionary in the whole of Harlan growing up
Everyone had to share

[nonscriptum]

you want a cheese plate with that bottle of whine?

[ultimatums]

What's a cheese plate? I'm too much of a backwoods hick to know

[nonscriptum]

i'm gonna be honest, i don't actually know because most of the "cheese plates" in argentina were like 90% cured meats and i feel like that's probably not a universal thing

[ultimatums]

Could eat a plate of cured meats myself right about now
The guy at the desk next to me always has snacks in his drawer, you think I should wait until he gets up to take a leak and steal something?

[nonscriptum]

seeing as i am, in fact, experienced in the art, i can only endorse the act

but didn't you just say something about being a law abiding man?

[ultimatums]

Tim owes me several anyway

[ not true! in fact it is the other way around! ]

I'm going in

[ultimatums]

All he had in there was Lunchables

[nonscriptum]

seriously? ew

[ Says Nate, who has never eaten a Lunchable but passed them in the grocery store more than once. ]

i guess you'll just starve

[ultimatums]

I'm almost on lunch

[ ... ]

What are your feelings on Panera Bread

[nonscriptum]

who doesn't like bread?

[ That's...that's a positive response. ]

icon extremely relevant

[ultimatums]

[ >_> ]

There's one not far from the courthouse

[ >____> ]

<__<

[nonscriptum]

[ Oh. ]

i could eat.

they let you out at noon?

[ultimatums]

I can take my lunch break whenever I want
I'm a big boy

[nonscriptum]

excuse me, mr. givens, didn't realize you had a hall pass

[ That's a thing, right? ]

you want me to grab a table?

[ultimatums]

I'll be there in like 15
Don't order without me, I have a loyalty card

[nonscriptum]

damn, i don't want to miss out on those savings

i'll be the one in the green henley

[ultimatums]

[ he's true to his word; it takes him just under fifteen minutes to extract himself from pressing marshal business and saunter downstairs and outside. his overriding thought as he's pushing open the door to the panera bread looking for the back of nate's head is that this is not a date, because you don't take someone to panera bread on a date. he finds him pretty quick – he's fairly distinctive, green henley or no – and heads over, stopping with his hands on his hips. ]

Hope you've been spendin' this time perusin' the menu 'cause I ain't gonna stand around all day waitin' for you to um and ah over toppings.

[nonscriptum]

[ Assuming that this is not a date is the safest route, and therefore the route that Nate is also taking, seeing as they were just talking about innocuous things like Lunchables and casual theft from one's coworkers. He can pretend this is a business lunch, because that's the kind of thing that people with normal jobs do. People with normal jobs are eating at Panera and not exchanging money for plantains and bacon in a Peruvian village, though Nate sometimes thinks Raylan might actually like something like that.

His smile is bright when he catches the unmistakable sauntering. ]

Figured I'd play it safe and get the, uh- [ Wait, hold on- ] -Cuban. Hi.
