No kidding. I got paid pennies at the Daily Bugle, but that woulda worked out okay around here.
( Peter is looking into getting work (as a photographer, because he's super original like that) and isn't really looking forward to being paid literal pennies.
Peter is eyeing the cheapest and most filling prospects on the menu (meatloaf? the most unthrilling of meals, but hopefully filling) and points at one that proclaims itself to be a value and comes with free pie. he's officially sold. he would love to protest the free food, and he might have, if he a.) wasn't basically living on $3, and b.) hungry enough to consider compromising his principles. ) You sure? ( he knits his brows skeptically, but doesn't argue, which says plenty. ) I'll take some coffee too, ma'am. Thanks.
( it's only after she clears off to put in his order that Peter wonders, ) Your leg okay? A little bird told me you got bit on your midnight swim. ( has anyone ever called Aziraphale a little bird before? because while Peter has yet to meet him in person, he'd probably think it still fit. if he did. )
