"Always am." It wasn't a boast, Victor Zsasz wasn't one to boast. It was just true. Thanks to Don Falcone he had enjoyed the position of number one enforcer to the head of Gotham basically ever since he started this job and even now, his reputation ensured him a similar status. Almost symbolic to who wielded power in Gotham, being able to employ him. Oswald Cobblepot didn't have his loyalty the same way Don Falcone had it, but he liked working for him. He was fun. Maybe that was part of why the man's position wasn't questioned much. Victor wouldn't be surprised and he didn't have to sit back and analyse it. He just kept to the rules of Gotham and he managed to keep up with the changes that were befalling his city. Same old. As he said, he always was.

"Suit yourself. Maybe you'll manage to stay out of things." He lifted a shoulder in a shrug, clearly expressing his doubts there without a word. It was Gotham. The city had a way of sucking people in. He couldn't imagine it would be any different for Daud, largely because he couldn't imagine it would be any different for anyone. "Dunno if Gotham is going to stay out of you."

It had a way of getting to everyone. "Police captain just got killed. On camera. And in this city? Now everyone's laughing like the kid who shot her." What a unique plays. "Whole town is more fascinated by chaos than scared of it. They're breaking the rules."

The mob continued losing its grip. He wondered sometimes if Oswald knew. "You staying in the Narrows? Have a look at the graffiti everywhere. 'Haha' is the tagline, I think."
