"Then you'll just have to be more careful about what makes you curious." No, most people wouldn't have suspected anything but buffoonery or maybe brain damage, but Leonard wasn't most people. Which didn't mean that he just saw right through Barry, but there was a good reason he was warning him to shape up. Whatever he thought he was doing, Leonard was certain that there was more to it than met the eye. "But we'll find you a nice book, so Axel won't have to use duct tape on you."
"It's not," Hartley assured Axel, not caring if this would start another round of mockery for him. He had other things to worry about. "It's been real... special, gentleman, but I have work to do."
He got up at the words, making eye-contact with a guy across the room and heading out at the same time with him. Just one of the gang leaders that he was helping out with a thing or two. He knew how to use his skills to his advantage.
"He seems grumpy." Barry commented with a frown, tilting his head to the side as he watched Hartley walk away. He seemed to be well connected though, maybe he was one of the dealers. He made a mental note to keep an eye on him.
"He is grumpy." Axel took what remained on Hartley's tray and put half on his, tossing the rest to Mick because nothing was a better idea than keeping Mick happy so the more food he shared, the more likely it was that Mick wouldn't just stand there and laugh as he got his ass kicked. Might. "That's the normal default setting for hot guys in jail. I have no idea what the fuck you're doing."
Barry shrugged his shoulders and his eyes looked around the room, trying to find any of the people he memorised before he came here. "I should really head off but I'll see you in the library later?"
