He never cared for money when it came to art, so don't worry about that. But also, you should look into paying the people you hire. That's what a decent boss would do.
[ there's a beat, mostly because malkuth doesn't want to type it out, so eventually-- ]
Why don't you ask him yourself?
[ knowing his contact won't even come up anymore, the way angela's hadn't. half the conversations she has are gone now. ]
( ... it's not like her to push the responsibility on him, or call out his obvious shortcomings as an "employer".
with the right resources, he could pay. can pay. he needs to put in more effort. he has no affluence or status here, and especially not when time was ticking at a constant. so maybe it's time to look for another angle and handle things more responsibly. things are turbulent here, but takasugi has always looked out for his crew, even if it was in a different way back then and now. he had also used others, and trying to obtain a portion of ereshkigal's power had backfired. the issue of rafayel aside, he...

[ ... maybe she'd said too much, in her own way. maybe she hadn't been as normal as she thought she was being. it would've been easier to show it was just a tease (was it?) if they weren't texting, but malkuth doesn't rectify it. he does need to pay the people he hires. she doesn't mind handling payroll, on top of... splitting rent for her own place with yesod and now sariel (she hasn't decided how to handle that), and also handling payments for their fixer-upper in east sophia, the place she wants to turn into a studio they can call home.

no, it's not a lot. it's just enough right now. she should tell him not to worry about it. to trust his capable manager, and that he should focus on living the life he should've at twenty-eight and beyond.
but nothing comes out. malkuth lays her head down and wishes her room didn't feel so small, crowded by reminders of someone gone. ]
