What happened to 'Sheriff's friend' perks?

There are perks?

[anachronos]

Of course there are. As a friend of the sheriff I believe you are supposed to let me get away with minor violations. Meanwhile I am permitted to to steal your hat to cover my face when I pass out after bringing your daily dose. Or borrow your ties with which to amuse Wolf.

I am fairly certain there are supposed to be perks.

[heartless_huntsman]

Ties are and will forever be off limits.

[anachronos]

You would deny Wolf his greatest joy?

[heartless_huntsman]

Seeing as how his favourite toy is part of my uniform? Yes Rip. Yes I would.

[anachronos]

Sometimes I wonder at the state of your heart, Sheriff. Such cruelty to a harmless, loving canine.

[heartless_huntsman]

Why don't you have heart enough for the both of us and give him some of your ties?

[anachronos]

For your information, dear Sheriff. He has quite a collection of my ties. I think he merely prefers yours.

[heartless_huntsman]

I think you're the one who prefers my ties.

[ To give to the dog, he means. Because you are a cruel bastard, Ripley. ]

[anachronos]

[Ripley is just going to grin at that.]

I think that must be one of the perks, then. Getting away with things like that.

[heartless_huntsman]

Why am I even friends with you?

[ Such an abuse of your position, Rip! ]

[anachronos]

Mostly to spend time with Wolf and for the free coffee deliveries.

[A warm laugh]

Perhaps a bit because I make your days less dull.

[heartless_huntsman]

Doesn't seem like it'd be worth all the trouble.

[ But it's said with a smile. ]

[anachronos]

And yet you continue to put up with my presence. Curiouser and curiouser, Sheriff.

[heartless_huntsman]

I know, it really makes no sense.

[anachronos]

Sense is over-rated as it is, unless it's one of the fun ones.

Like taste. Or smell.

[heartless_huntsman]

You could use some more 'common' too.

[anachronos]

I said fun.

[heartless_huntsman]

Since when is having some common sense boring?

[anachronos]

Common sense is a vastly over-rated sense if you consider having it to be fun, Sheriff. I would be far more inclined to acknowledge it as necessary, but by definition it should be common and therefore far from entertaining.

A lack of it in others can be amusing when it is not irritating, I suppose.

[heartless_huntsman]

Wow, I actually even lost track of what we were talking about it took you so long to finish.

[ Well, not really but you get his point. ]

[anachronos]

[Graham gives him a light shove against his shoulder and rolls his eyes.]

You would think the Sheriff would be a more patient man, capable of lasting through three sentences. How ever do you make it through witness statements?

[heartless_huntsman]

[ Graham just shoved back, giving Ripley a friendly grin. ]

Maybe you're just unusually tedious.

[ An obvious joke, considering how much time he spends listening to the other man entirely of his own free will. ]
