[ A few things click immediately into place for Lalo with this response. He doesn't have Squalo pegged as an assassin specifically, but a subconscious suspicion crystalizes. This entire missive, and the attitudes strewn throughout it, basically say, "I am absolutely some variety of criminal, and probably in bed with organized crime" - and since Squalo is notoriously Italian, the mob feels like a safe bet.
And, let's face it. Getting angry someone hypothetically told him he couldn't have a hypothetical sword, as if he had been denied an actual sword? Tuco behavior.
So, then. Lalo has to try to walk a delicate line of respectful, but not overly submissive. Appearing weak might be disastrous, but an escalating war of threats to kick each other's asses seems equally counterproductive. ]
Easy, man, easy. I don't have a sword. [ Since Squalo apparently needs the reminder. ]
And hell yeah it goes bad! That's the fun part. We call it Botulism Roulette. ^_~ [ Where did he learn anime smileys now? We just don't know. ] But there's a sweet spot, eh? Where it can get you tipsy without making you sick. You just gotta get lucky.
[ He contemplates what to say next. ] Whoa, whoa, whoa! Amigo! You've got it all wrong. You're not doing my errands. I'm giving you this information as a tribute. As a way to say, thanks for your help. You may do with it whatever you wish.
DN999R, he likes technology. But he's open to bartering other things too. He says this "friend" who knows things. Me, I'm not sure if I believe him, but hey! Now you know what he's saying too.
