She wondered for a moment what Orion meant. She knew she did a fair bit for him, that much was clear enough, but how she'd kept him from getting hurt even worse...well, perhaps if she'd never hired him he may have turned to fight clubs more, but it seemed something that, right now, was more comfortable to assume than to pry about, giving a simple, quiet nod in response as the conversation moved on, the request for aid bringing a faint chuckle from her.
"Well...if I'm to help with that I'll have to see them in person..." She shrugged with a smirk before adding. "Unless of course you just want me to send over some enforcers to rough 'em up, I have to see them personally to allow my ability to affect them. Sadly, it dosn't work over any old phone line...other than that I'm more than happy to help.~" She paused for a moment before thinking. "Actually...if you're struggling with the price as is, are you sure you wouldn't need a lone...thinking of it I can only imagine this is also why you hit the fight clubs. Afterall I like to think I give you enough of an 'outlet' in that area.~"

Pffffttt. Orion was trying hard not to grin at Marcie’s tactics. While he hadn’t considered something similar up to that point, he wondered now how he hadn’t heh. Well, probably because that wouldn’t be kosher with Nik and all, actually. As she mentioned the limitations of her power, however, Orion gave a small nod. “Ah that’s fi—“
I can only imagine this is also why you hit the fight clubs. How did she…. How— was he that obvious? Well, well probably given after months of this, she was aware that he was much more the calculative sort than a straight forward brawler in most cases, but still— A weird half-laugh escaped from him, and he grinned a bit weakly after that. “Fight club,” he emphasized the singularity before moving on. “But… You are… correct,” he answered a bit slower than before. “It’s kind of an expensive place so I was … trying to keep from going entirely into debt or anything~” Hahhahahah… hah…. Hah.
"It's out in Pahala too actually," he smirked a bit. "When everything is settled you should come see it."

"Oh sorry. Singular. As in you had 5 fights at one club rather than 1 fight at 5 clubs. I'll remember that.~" She gave a cheeky smirk as she playfully quipped back to his correction, arms folded over her chest as she held a confident look, glad they were being a little more playful again, even if she was still mildly worried about the state that had all put him in, a glance down towards his stomache, almost picturing the bruises through his shirt before shaking off the thought.
"Well you know I'd give you great rates on a loan if you asked...but that's down to you." Her voice dipped a little at the end, trying to portray that she was more saving him his pride if he wanted it, than trying to steal it. She knew some people didn't like handouts to such an extreme, and while she was indeed eager to help if he needed it (especially if it would avoid him needing more time off work) she didn't want him to feel like he had to take the offer either, without also giving the impression that she was forcing him to ask to fill her own ego in the process. "Till then, I'll just be sure to get you two a little discount, or maybe just a more lax installment plan.~"
She shrugged with a faint smirk, looking up to Orion's eyes as he offered she come visit, but despite the shrug, she spoke a very genuine "I'd love to...maybe I should cook something and bring it over. Get you two a little housewarming gift too.~" She chuckled as she rambled off a little at the idea. "Anything you two are looking for? I saw a nice couch with reclining seats. I don't know much about Nik but somehow that seems like something he'd enjoy."

A small smirk pulled on the corners of Orion’s lips as Marceline correct herself. Good, good. As her gaze dropped, his lips pressed together some, and he may have shifted a bit from his seat-not seat on the back of the couch. If he hadn’t known what she was looking at, he might have made a joke.
His lips did quirk at her words a bit uncertain, a bit hopeful. He knew she’d been spending quite a bit of money getting AZOTH set up and accredited to the best of her abilities, but …. But if that wasn’t already straining her resources, he had to wonder how deep they ran. Heh, had he been underestimating her this whole time? He didn’t want to ask least he sound ungrateful. “Thank you,” he smiled a bit giving a small nod. Hey idiot, maybe we could have bought the house with the basement. Orion’s lips quirked as he tried very hard to shove the thought all the way back to hell where it belonged.
The thought of having Marcie over was almost as weirdly endearing as their brief fantasy over Christmas. A chuckle resounded from Orion as she mentioned a housewarming gift. He almost wanted to say that Nik already had a couch, but then one couch lead to another so why not? He knew for a fact Nik would like reclining seats and all, heh. “That sounds lovely, actually,” he answered with a grin.
A thought occurred to him, and he brightened even more with a sudden burst of excitement. “You’ll have to see my island too,” he spoke suddenly. “Kitchen island, of course, but it’s got lovely counter tops and plenty of storage space~” There was a pause before he chuckled a bit softer. “It’s … a long running joke actually but, back when we were a lot younger and Nik had an absurd amount of money I…. may have asked him to buy me an island ….island…” He paused letting that sink in before immediately going on. “And he remembered after all this time and has finally managed to get it for me.” Just… in a slightly different way, heh.

Nik was...he promised to what!? Marcie was alarmed for a moment before recalling what Nik used to be...even then it could have been the ramblings of young love but she had no frame of referance for what an Eran noble could have or buy as the case may be. Where they really that wealthy? Maybe Era really was a place to check out if Veria ever got too boring...
Still...in the sense of the two of them..."You are certainly a cute couple...no arguing that...~"
With a faint sigh and a tender roll of her eyes, she stepped towards the couch and lightly pushed at Orion's hip so he'd start moving. "Come on you, my baths still warm and you have a vacation to enjoy. You get one more week and its back to work capiche?" She'd playfully push him by his backside towards the door, sticking out her tongue from behind his shoulder. "Can't have my favorite getting too comfortable with his man now. You might never come back to me.~"

As Marceline spoke, Orion grinned a bit more sheepishly. He couldn’t help but be excited for this even with everything that had occurred partially because of it. As Marcie started pushing him up off the couch, Orion would shift a little back to standing. “Ah, right—“ His eyes flickered briefly up the balcony before dropping back down to Marcie. One more week, then it’s back to work. A small chuckle escaped from him, but he would take the hit moving towards the door easily enough.
Clasping the door, opening it, and turning back momentarily, Orion met Marceline’s gaze again for moment. He… almost wanted to say something else, but what exactly escaped him. Instead, very quickly, he stepped forward again and drew her into a brief hug before releasing and stepping back again. “I’ll be back to work soon,” he assured with a small grin as he stepped out into the hallway again. “Can’t let Momo have all the fun.” Among other things, heh.

Almost glad to see him gone, she stood with him at the door leading to the hallway, chuckling faintly as he mentioned Momo. "No, no you can't. Especially since she's far less...let's say 'tactful' than you.~" She smirked teasingly, watching him turn to go, but stepping up to him mid turn so they were standing sideways to the hall but face to face to one another, smiling softly and getting up on her toes, she'd squeeze his shoulder in one hand as she lightly kissed his opposite cheek, falling back to her feet with soft eyes, and a very light bounce to her motions.
"Behave yourself and rest up okay? Nothing too rough till those bruises heal up."

A small chuckle escaped from Orion at Marceline’s words. As she moved, however, he found himself unable to. The cheek kiss immediately had his features warming some, and despite himself, Orion raised a hand to it. Nothing too rough till those bruises heal up. heh… Damn that was a pretty giddy feeling, heh. “Alright~ alright, I’ll just be civilized, I suppose,” he chuckled a bit too much before shrugging his shoulders slowly. For a moment, he almost didn’t want to go, and it twisted around in his stomach before he made himself turn and start down the hallway again. A yellow eye flicked back, and he hummed a bit.
