Talking about the fucking precinct is scary? It should be the easiest goddamn thing you could remember. If I have to hear about Dora still, you can bother to try and think about the rest.
[His tone colors itself with more aggression, insistent to talk over any objections Harry has. Jean has to pick up where he left off.]
...The kebab cart that made everyone sick, yeah. I think we all hoped we'd get used to it. Pryce would send out the new guys to go get his lunch from the cart three blocks down instead—probably a good idea. But at least it was open no matter the weather. And the weather is always fucking bad.
[As he talks, he picks up more steam.]
The sidewalks get frozen to hell in the winter, so you have to be careful or else fall on your ass where all the guys in the front-facing offices can see. Nearly broke my fucking ankle when I first started working there; I don't know how you managed it in those shoes. It could be dangerous for the horses, too, but they usually kept the roads in a little better shape, if only for the motor carriages...
