Well?

You're here because you have something to say, so... out with it.

[Well, this is a little awkward. After all, they did leave things on a fairly good note, all things considered. Even so, what must be done must be done, so...]

Um. I don't mean to be rude, but we have one... bit of unfinished business.

[...]

I really can't have you lingering around the Headquarters. For one thing, it's inappropriate and for another I don't want to cause a panic or upset anyone. Or... spark any kind of... well, anyway, the point is...

[...not that she finishes the point. But well, it's fairly evident. Probably.]

swordofthenorth March 19 2011, 19:12:22 UTC

Very well.

[ Was that too easy? ]

Unless I've a very good reason, you won't catch me loitering around the Patrol Headquarters.

[ Is catch the keyword? Or maybe the key word would be me. Some combination of both, perhaps? Hmm... ]

Easiest bit of unfinished business ever wrapped up, wouldn't you agree?

yetsleeping March 19 2011, 20:37:32 UTC

[Definitely too easy. In fact it takes her a few blinks to process that.]

It was, actually. ...thank you?

[It's a bit of a struggle not to burst out with, "What are you up to?" In fact...]

Why?

swordofthenorth March 19 2011, 20:47:15 UTC

For now it appears we want the the same things, you and I.

yetsleeping March 19 2011, 20:52:46 UTC

...you want to um, not linger around the Headquarters? Or you want to, um, not... upset people?

[Then why was it so hard to get you to stay away a few days ago? CONFUSING.]

swordofthenorth March 19 2011, 20:58:58 UTC

[ He chuckles. ]

I think it best I refrain from causing anymore distress at the moment, wouldn't you agree?

[ Of course you would! ]

Besides...there are some things I need to put into perspective. It might consume a great deal of my time...

...not that I won't find moments to spare for you should you happen to require my attention, Priscilla.

yetsleeping March 19 2011, 21:05:36 UTC

Of course I would. I just didn't know that you would.

What are you up to? [In the less suspicious sense of the question, now.] I mean, what are you doing?

And I... wasn't really planning on consuming your time, as a rule.

swordofthenorth March 19 2011, 21:06:47 UTC

Is that so?

Then I'm afraid, as a rule, I can't share with you what it is I'm doing at the moment.

I would hate for you to be tempted to join me.

yetsleeping March 19 2011, 21:59:46 UTC

[...is that a bear trap she senses? Maybe. But it's hard to tell.]

[She hesitates.]

I... Well. Is that really much of a concern?

swordofthenorth March 19 2011, 22:01:00 UTC

You tell me.

yetsleeping March 19 2011, 22:06:18 UTC

But I don't know, unless I know what you're doing!

[Or, wait. Maybe he meant she should tell him if her wanting to join him would be a concern in itself?]

Err. I mean, it depends on the circumstances. Sometimes I'd think -- well, anyway, what are you doing?

swordofthenorth March 19 2011, 22:23:37 UTC

If you really wanted to know...you could stop lounging around and come see for yourself.

yetsleeping March 19 2011, 22:32:05 UTC

[akjsdnkjnda. Dammit Rigaldo.]

Did he tell you that!

[Wait, that's a stupid question.]

I mean... obviously he told you that. Does he tell you everything?

swordofthenorth March 19 2011, 22:35:44 UTC

Everything is a bit broad.

yetsleeping March 19 2011, 22:41:56 UTC

[So that's a 'pretty much yes.' She wrinkles her nose.]

That's going to take getting used to.

...well. I think you should tell me and then I can decide whether it's worth getting off this sofa to see.

swordofthenorth March 19 2011, 22:44:57 UTC

I have a hard time picturing you on a sofa actually lounging.

...

Perhaps you should let me see.
