and you're a good guy. for a bad guy.

[looking_sharp]

I'm not a bad guy. I'm a good guy, that sometimes has to do bad things.

[petitepistol]

that does sound a lot better

[looking_sharp]

And is true.

[petitepistol]

i know, i know

[looking_sharp]

Well, my apartment door is unlocked. See you when I see you.

[petitepistol]

i won't make you wait long!

[looking_sharp]

I know you won't. You're too good for that.

[petitepistol]

[she's going to kick his butt lovingly for being too good one of these days]

[looking_sharp]

[Good woman, she should try.]

I NEVER KNOW how to sense cues but did you want to take this to action at all?

[petitepistol]

 

we could if you wanted but no obligations

[petitepistol]

[and true to her word, here she is, sweeping in with bags beneath her arms and a smile on her face]

Hey there, looks like you're still ticking.

[looking_sharp]

[Rude looks... relieved. Very relieved. He raises a hand to wave at her.]

I'll pay you back for this.

[petitepistol]

[her grin widens as she settles things down; snacks and novels? and who knows what else she grabs from the bags]

Nah, don't worry about it.

[looking_sharp]

[Snacks and novels is enough for her to be his absolute hero.]

Because we're a team?

[petitepistol]

Well yeah, but we're also friends, more or less.

[she actually got a whole bunch of everything, both in food choices and books too. so he has a lot to choose from, and nibble on.]

[looking_sharp]

[Friends. He smiles. It might be the pain pills that has him smiling in approval.]

Good taste in books, kid.

[petitepistol]

I try. I think you'd like the mysteries, they're not too complicated but enough to be distracting.

[she's actually going to make him a plate, how about that, that's a thing that's happening he looks just awful]

[looking_sharp]

Mysteries?

[His eyes, not hidden by shades, go wide and he reaches. Come on, hand them over. He's stranded in casts, let him enjoy something.]

[petitepistol]

[she chuckles a little and hands him the first novel, then moves his plate closer for when he wants some.]

I had the feeling you'd like those.

[looking_sharp]

[He sets the book nearby, and will get to it when he doesn't have company.]

Gonna need you to promise to look out for Reno.

[petitepistol]

What, he'd make fun? Or he'd just not let you finish it.

[she's guessing the second part]

[looking_sharp]

[She wasn't understanding at all, and that was fair. His pain medication made him loopy, and perhaps harder to follow than was really fair.]

Watch his back. I can' do it for him and he gets into trouble.

[petitepistol]

[she makes a perfect 'oh' with her mouth and nods silently; no wonder...the first thing he worries about is his dear partner]

I see. Don't worry, I'll make sure he stays safe. You can count on it.
