Thomas calmly considered his options as the bin's contents thrashed under his grip. He could let the trash girl go, to no foreseeable benefit (although no foreseeable cost either), or he could not bother and gain catharsis, at the expense of his standing with a stranger. Although considering his apparent current standing, he was sure he could let that slide. So Thomas made his decision.

[color=brown]"Finn, get me some duct tape."[/color] Thomas said.
[b]"You know, Thomas, I don't think that-"[/b] Finn began.
[color=brown]"I'm not seeing any duct tape..."[/color]
Finn looked at Rufus and back at Thomas and decided to get the duct tape.
[color=brown]"You can have her back as soon as I'm done."[/color] Thomas said to Rufus, holding down the struggling bin. [color=brown]"Because it won't be my problem anymore."[/color]

Finn returned soon enough with a black roll of duct tape, from a nearby cardboard box. Thomas made him hold the bin down while he tore off strips of it and taped the lid down. With the bin surprise now reduced to a rattling can, Thomas's job was done.
[color=brown]"Right then, I'm done caring."[/color] Thomas said, a note of satisfaction in his voice.
He threw the roll of duct tape over his shoulder and Finn fumbled to catch it.
[color=brown]"Let's go in, Finn. Better get this over with fast, we don't know how long it'll take to look at the black guild."[/color] Thomas said.
[b]"Wait a second, will ya?"[/b] Finn said.
He rushed to replace the duct tape and went to follow Thomas into the white guild cafe.
