[daddysknife]

I'll be closing the Roadhouse for about a week, guys.

[She had planned on just cutting hours, but she couldn't get Lycus on the phone and he was off the list. He was gone too, but she didn't know if that was permanent or temporary. Either way, with Castiel needing her help with Sam and Gabriel, she needed to close for a bit.]If you need me, call

Finally remodeling the place?

[daddysknife]

[Wonderful.]

As soon as I get the check from you for it.

[ironfail]

[A slight pause, then when Tony replies he sounds slightly less teasing.]

Do you need money?

[Because she's in trouble or something financially - ]

[daddysknife]

[Is this for real-]

If I did, I wouldn't be closing my business, would I?

[ironfail]

[Being in Mandalus is teaching him that he's actually a huge mother hen and he doesn't like it at all.]

Money to keep the place afloat, idiot. No wonder you need to shut it down, you don't know how business even works.

[daddysknife]

I'm doin' fine. [She nearly spits the word out, because who is this guy to lecture her?]

It's afloat.

[ironfail]

All right, no need to get nasty. [Abort, abort mission.] Why close down then?

[daddysknife]

My ...boyfriend needs my help with some things.

[ironfail]

Boyfriend? [Tony lets out a short laugh that he smothers behind a hand.] Oh god, who is the poor bastard.

[daddysknife]

None of your business.

[She's hanging up now, thank you.]

[ironfail]

[Don't hang up, Tony's not finished!]

Not even a hint? A tiny clue? Do I know the guy?

[daddysknife]

I hope you don't, if you're just gonna think of him as a poor bastard.

[ironfail]

Is it any surprise? With the way you treat me, I'd hate to see what he has to put up with.

[daddysknife]

...Are you really stupid enough to think I treat everyone like I treat you?

[ironfail]

Personalities don't change so drastically, dear.

[So yeah, he thinks you're a jerk to everyone.]

[daddysknife]

Like I treat you so horribly.

[Please.]
