"You and Ru are totally tightwads!" She chirped again, a small smile on her face. "Or worry warts! I think it's nice though, that you look out for other people the way you do. You both have good hearts."

Emma took all of this information in carefully, wondering if Ruby knew what Le had just told her. Not that Ruby would care, she assumed, but she didn't really know how much time she had spent with Le at this point. Just because Mars was always hanging off of him like some demented chimpanzee didn't mean much. She decided to keep it to herself for now and wait to see what happened.

"You just don't like Apple because he's gonna bone your sister!" Emma teased, not even a shred of tact in her tone. "I like Tatum and Mack and Apple! They're all really nice, or at least Mack is when Tatum tells her to be." She chewed her lip in thought again, thinking about how Le sounded a lot like Ruby when she lectured Emma about her job. They must be siblings was all that really went through her mind, but she figured that Ruby would be impressed if she took Le's advice anyway. "I'll be careful, promise!"

"Hey, watch it now," he said, a joking threat hanging on his tone. "He better not touch my sister," then he grinned. "Mack is just... she's kinda like me," he left it vague like that cause there was no way he was going to get into a conversation like that with Emma.

"You better be," he loosely wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her into a half hug. "And you just drop my name if anyone starts to give you a hard time. Got it?"
