Paige was talking to Deacon. They were discussing the the deal she just made with Carrington
"I don't know Paige" He said
"It's a simple job, go get the medicine for Des, bring it back and then... Well then that's it. I should get a reward from the royal asshole himself!"
Deacon did his best not to laugh, both at the situation and at the mention of Carrington not only being an asshole... But a royal asshole
"He was being weird about the whole thing and you know he was" Deacon stated as pretty much a fact rather than an observation
It wasn't like he didn't have a reason to think that though, when they had talked to Carrington with a very sick Desdemona next to him everything about the situation down to where the location of the medicine was explained with a hesitant tone and a shifty eyed look. He had no idea what he was hiding, but it was something
Paige sighed and frowned at Deacon, taking him not believing Carrington as him just passive-aggressively just not wanting to help her
"He probably is playing this straight" She decided to say instead of the 'you just don't want to help me huh?' she wanted to say
"A probably is not a 100% promise Paige" He tried to take an assertive tone, but it faltered at the puppy dog eyed look she gave him, it made him silent for a little while before he sighed and finally spoke again
"Look I'm still coming with, the only difference is I get to say 'I told you so' when I'm right" He told her
And an 'I told you so' he did get to say
