Summary: blah blah conversations blah

“So just like that.”
“Just like that.”
“She formally told you that she was no longer pursuing you?”
“Yes.”
“Why go through the effort?”
“Mikage is very invested in procedure.”
“I’m surprised she didn’t have you sign a form.”
“She said the copy room was crowded.”
“You’re joking.”
“Am I?”
“Jack.”
--
“Ushio, you alright?”
“Why wouldn’t I be?”
“Well, I saw Daly reaming you out about those thieves earlier. You still haven’t caught ‘em?”
“No, Kazama. I can’t say that I have.”
“I figured what with the yelling and all. But you don’t look too beaten up about it.”
“I can’t catch every criminal in the city.”
“Yeah, but you were…smiling when Daly was reaming you out.”
“…”
“In fact, you’re still smiling.”
--
“Hey, Mikage. I heard you’re no longer going after Jack.”
“Word travels fast.”
“We’re nearly brothers. Comes with the territory.”
“Well, it was getting pretty embarrassing that I was still chasing after him like a lovesick puppy when-”
“When he knocked Carly up?”
“Elegant as always, Crow.”
“I try. So since you’re giving up on Sir Atlas-what do you say you and me mess around?”
“Elegant. As. Always.”
“I pride myself on being forward. So…? You’re attractive. I’m attractive. I’ve been told I’m good in bed…”
“A tempting offer but I’m going to have to decline.”
“Understandable. But if you ever want to…”
“I’ll keep it in mind.”
“…So what’s the smile about?”
“What smile?”
“The one on your face. Obviously it wasn’t brought on by the proposition of sweet Crow lovin’.”
“How do you get so many people to date you?”
“I’m ridiculously charming.”
--
“I think there’s something wrong with Mikage.”
“Hello to you, too, Crow.”
“Hi, Yusei. Yeah, whatever. Anyway, she was smiling.”
“What did Security say?”
“That’s not it. I mean, well, sort of. But she decided to sever her unhealthy fixation on Jack and then declined having sex with me.”
“Crow, there are a lot of people that would decline having sex with you.”
“Ouch, right in the feel bads.”
“People forget I can be witty.”
“Whatever. Anyway, I think she’s in love.”
“Really? With who?”
“I don’t know. She’s in Security so she’s probably good at being discreet.”
“Crow, we have better things to do than-”
“We should investigate.”
“Crow-”
“I mean, she gave up on Jack and now she’s all smiling and not wanting to have sex with me.”
“Crow, st-”
“Come on, Yusei!”
“…What are the chances of you letting this go unless you get your way?”
“Slim to none.”
“Fine, let’s go.”
“Yes! We can be discreet, too.”
--
“Mikage-san! Crow says you’re in love!”
“Really? Did he say who with?”
“Well, no. He sent me to find out.”
“As soon as you do, let me know.”
“Mikage-san!”
“Sorry, Rua.”
“…You know Crow’s right. You are smiling.”
--
“Hey, Ushio.”
“Hey, Carly. If you’re trying to get a story about that theft ring, you’ll have to talk to Daly about it.”
“Actually, Crow sent me over here to find out if you know who Mikage’s in love with.”
“Mikage-san’s in love?”
“Well, she’s smiling a lot.”
“…”
“You know, you’re smiling, too.”
--
“Hey, Tetsu.”
“Hey.”
“Do you think they’ve figured it out yet?”
“Well, there have been a lot of conversations about smiles lately.”
