Snippets from Bloody Whoever's
Cyrus sighs and takes a sip of wine. He begins to speak, wrinkles his nose, and then takes another drink. Finally he says, "I'm an idiot."
Dinah lifts her glass, laughing before taking a sip. "I won't argue with you on that one, Cyrus." She gives a wide-eyed look of surprise. "Oh my, we agree on something." She's unable to completely hide the teasing in her eyes.
Cyrus allows himself a genuine smile. "I should've known about...you know." He shrugs, "I'm sorry." He then looks rather confused. "Back in the day, this is the point where I'd do something romantic to make you forget what a jerk I am. That arrow's not exactly in my quiver anymore so, um...more wine?"

Gil says, "Well, I'll bring Bernard, then. The bow."
Cyrus smirks towards Gil. "Your weapons have names?"
Dinah grins at Gil. "Lovely." Then, to Cyrus, "He's very fond of naming his toys," she muses.
Gil says, "Only some of them."
Cyrus chuckles but refrains from saying any of the responses that dance behind his eyes.
Gil says, "They're finely honed instruments."
Cyrus replies, "All men say that."
Dinah just smirks.
Gil says, "Well, they ARE."
