"I never got your name." This made the worker stop dead in his tracks. He turned back around to the boy who he takes his temperature weekly. "And why would you want that?" The mask made his British accent somewhat of a mumble.
"Because I've been seeing you here for a while now and would prefer to not call you 'Temperature guy'" The blonde man smiled even if Tubbo couldn't see it.
"Phil." He said, making Tubbo laugh.
"Yeah, that suits you well. I don't really know what I expected."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"You make a good Phil."
Phil let out a small laugh. "Well you make a good Tubbo. If I can call you that now."
"Yeah, go ahead. At this point I might as well legally change it."
"Okay Tubbo. What is it that you want? I can see it in your eyes y'know; you can't fool me."
"What no- What are you talking about? I was just really curious about your name, that's all." Tubbo lied, feeling himself start to sweat.
"You should really work on your lying skills."
Tubbo sighed looking down. "Trust me, I know." He paused before looking back up at the man. "I did want to know your name though. I feel like we've had so many conversations and yet I never asked you for your name. I'm sorry."
"It's fine mate. Most of the time it's just us in the room, it's not like you needed it." Tubbo smiled at Phil's understanding.
"Well, I did also want to know if you could maybe- I don't know -cut me a tiny favor." He pinched his fingers together.
"It depends on what that is." Phil smiled. Tubbo had a chance!
"Well, remember when I needed the phone and all that?" Phil nodded. "I was calling my friend- Oh wait, you probably already know this. Anyway I was wondering if-"
"You want the key to go see him? Unfortunately kid I can't let you escape."
"No, no, no. Not for me to escape, for him to come here. Only for the day though, nothing more. And I could always pay you, that's still on the table."
Phil had to think about that one a bit. He wanted to help Tubbo out but he also didn't want to get fired because the two messed something up. Especially when he could tell Tubbo was a bad liar.
"I'll see what I can do. But you do have a catch this time."
"Ooooo you actually want money for once. I never thought the day would come."
Phil laughed. "Who said I wanted money?"
Tubbo went silent. "What do you want then?"
"Two things. The biggest one is your friend and you work on your lying skills. The second one is for you to keep practicing your instruments."
Tubbo gave him a confused face. "Now why would you want that?" He asked, genuinely confused.
"Never know, might thank me for it in the future." This really threw off Tubbo.
What was this guy on about?
"So do we have a deal?" Phil asked. "Of course!" Tubbo smiled. "Good."
"Thank you so much for considering it Phil."
"No problem kid. You deserve it after how long you've been stuck here." And with that he took something out of his pocket and flipped it at Tubbo like a coin.
Tubbo caught it surprised and Phil walked away. "Wait, you had it this whole time?!"
