Ruthless and Merciless: holding a porcelain teacup You spent aall your money on this? Do you really think I need ittt?
i know you’re 62 but I wanted to get you something because today is your birthday
blushes 62, pfft.. I’m much older than that. But this is the nicest gift anyone’s given me in years! You’re so sweet, what’s your name?
well, yes. I’m sorry. it’s just that…. i didn’t know what else to get you
smiles at you, and puts the teacup down oh dear, don’t apologize. Just seeing your face makes me happy enough.
picks up another antique And this one too! Isn't it lovely?
looks at the antique Hm, yes it is. But I really don’t need another teacup... sets down the teacup You spent all your money on me... don’t you need anything for yourself?
no Kevin says while smiling as he gives her the teacup I wanted to give you something
She takes the teacup and looks at it for a moment, then she looks up at you. Well aren’t you the sweetest boy?
nervously laughs Yeah, well... I thought it might... uh... remind you of something.
sipping the tea And what would that be?
oh uhm no Kevin is sad because he wasted his money and he can’t buy food because he spent all of his money on that gift
I see the sadness on your face Are you alright, child?
sorry but I don’t have enough for that one…
sips her tea Well, then you don’t get it.
no but I wanted to get something for you
looks at you through the teacup How thoughtful of you…
I thought it would go well with your collection.
looking at the teacup Well, it does look nice... but did you have to spend so much on me?
well you’re birthday is today so… happy birthday!
blushes oh… you’re so sweet.
I’m touched, but you really shouldn’t have spent all your money on me. You should save for yourself too, y’know?
I thought you might like it. It's pretty just like you.
Oh, you sweet boy. It’s very nice, but I have many like it already.
puts down teacup and pats your head
You’re a sweetheart though.
yea i know but still you deserve it
chuckles You're a good boy, you know that? But I could never accept this. Here, take your money back.
tries to hand the money back to Kevin
yes because I show her that is her favorite color
taking the teacup in my hands, examining it closely Oh this is lovely… but why spend so much money on meee?
well I thought that since your name is ruthless and merciless I thought you would like them
laughing Well, my namesake is quite ironic considering I'm just an old lady who runs this little antique shop. But it's sweet of you to think of me, dear.
yea ok sighs well if you don’t want it then give me back my 20 bucks
looks at you with a deadpanned expression Oh darling, money doesn't work like that.
the next day ruthless and merciless goes home with Kevin
sipping on her tea My, what a nice house you have here.
She takes the money, and counts it Well, I suppose this is quite a lot of money. But tell me… why did you buy all these things for me? You don't even know me.
well… uhm… I start to blush realizing that she’s your great grandmother
she raises an eyebrow at you
Are you blushing, boy?
