Sh-Shiva...what happened to Patrol Headquarters?! Is everyone okay?
What a mess...but, um, I guess that means help will be needed for cleanup, huh? Hey, Priscilla, let me know if you need a hand with that. Because I could kind of use the work...

I'm still not your buddy or pal, Kunsel. You're my acquaintance.
{Mine. But I'm not yours. Trust me, it makes sense.}
{Uh. To him.}

Anyway, a round of drinks means...no, you know what? You accept, and I'll show you what it means. You'll like it, I know you will.
Just like you liked the muffins.
[ Pause. ]
...And, um. You didn't need to let me stay the night, or keep it quiet that I was there to begin with, but you did.
That's how I know you're just in denial, by the way.

We can do this. I do warn you, though, that I may not stay long.
I've many things to do, you understand.
{Not really. It's just a nice way to say "if this sucks/is weird/you're weird/you're annoying/etc etc, I'm out".}
And of course I did. It's improper to deny care to a patient, even if it involves allowing them to... crash. The fact that I haven't spoken of it is mainly due to the fact that I can't imagine who'd care.
{Bedside manner. He doesn't have it.}

I'm not particular. The sooner I fulfill this request, the sooner I'm "repaid" and we're square.

Because you might really have fun.
Would...that be such a crime?

{Feathers effectively ruffled.}
I do this because you seem intent on repayment, and I believe I can tolerate your company long enough to cancel the debt. Not for fun. Hn.
{FEEL THE LOVE, KUNSEL. FEEL IT.}

My kind of fun, at that.
Not your Doctor Solitude, creepy bird mask, potions and odd knickknack collection kind of fun, or the kind of fun that involves flopping recklessly off rooftops and spying on pretty ladies, either.
This'll be a guy's night out, and damn it, you're going to enjoy my company, and it's not going to be just tolerated, and...and yeah!
