[ ... ]

Remind me again why I'm all the way over on campus and nowhere near where you are right now?

[brobeforehos]

We're playing grown-ups.

[icarusalsoflew]

And what a terrible thing it is.

[ DRAMATIC SIGH. ]

[brobeforehos]

I know - all responsabilities and jobs.

[icarusalsoflew]

At least they pay the bills and get us all nice things. [ A beat. ] And they let us go on nice dates together.

[brobeforehos]

Dates would be nice.

[icarusalsoflew]

Dates will be in order, always.

[brobeforehos]

Mm -- but we're deviating from the topic.

[icarusalsoflew]

[ Give him a bit to take another drag from his cigarette... there we go. ]

Has Ariadne tried talking to him about the issue?

[brobeforehos]

She's asking people on dates, so I don't know.

[icarusalsoflew]

...Probably a no, then.

[ Hum. ]

She'll need to talk to him. I mean, he isn't a total asshole, right?

[ He really hopes that Johnny Storm isn't, at any rate. ]

[brobeforehos]

[She thinks about it here, and then sighs; it'd be easier to think otherwise and just key his damn car.]

He's a good guy, I guess. He's just fucked up, and I think she's too proud to let him know it bothered her. So...I could be the villain.

[icarusalsoflew]

You care about your friend. That doesn't make you a villain.

[ Yes maybe he's biased but he has principles, okay. ]

[brobeforehos]

Sweet - but I meant more in the way of, being the event that causes them to talk.

[icarusalsoflew]

Well, if you are, then you are. As things stand, if what you're telling me has any basis, something does have to give on their end.

[brobeforehos]

No kidding.

[icarusalsoflew]

Hey.

[ All sorts of soft and gentle. ]

They'll be all right. Go and have your date with her, do nice things, and give me a head's up if you still feel like keying his car.

[ Sorry he kind of feels nothing for Johnny. ]

[brobeforehos]

Okay. You will always be my go-to hot cop.

[icarusalsoflew]

[ Amused snort. ]

Well, I wouldn't want it any other way.

[brobeforehos]

Were you totally ready to consult me into the perfect crime, though?

[icarusalsoflew]

Yes.

[brobeforehos]

Oh my god, you total gangster.

[icarusalsoflew]

Hunter. There's a difference. [ Then, lightly: ] We're nastier, and definitely a bit more on the sociopathic side.

[brobeforehos]

Yeah, yeah, keep up the dangerous bad boy act.

[icarusalsoflew]

I love you too.

[ ...And there might be just a bit of hesitance there. He's oddly more careful with his words now that you're a Thing. ]
