Current Mood: generously intoxicated

(no subject)

...Don't know how he does it.

Frustrating, isn't it?

No it's just dandy.

Of course it's frustrating. [Raises a hand and jabs a finger in other!Lassiter's direction. But it's sort of a vague gesture because, lol, drunk.]

Just yesterday, he solved a case just by somehow figuring out that the thermostat was just a little bit higher in one room than the others. [Trails off, making a face of utter repugnance and looking away.]

*blinks and gestures to barman for two more drinks*

He has a source. He has to have a source. *drinks* Lock him in an empty interrogation room for the day, see what his *air quotes* "spirits" have to tell him then.

[Doesn't even scrutinize the drink set before him, downing a generous amount instantly.]

You don't think I've already thought of that? He'd find some...[Clenches a fist and frowns] way to squirm out of it, somehow.

It's just so ... [Gestures vaguely for the right word, clearly very out of it.] useless.

..I don't know why I even bother.

Well, of course. *watches him drink, and matches it, not to be outdone* Cuff him to a radiator?

You, we, you bother because it's your duty. Unlike some, you know it's not just a popularity contest...... Right? *looks less sure than he sounds*

Probably with a bit of skill, if it's making you this upset.

[absently gesturing toward him as he goes over some spices, sniffing]

..... [Insert staring, and a general 'I hate life' facial expression, here.]

Oh, great. Just great.

[pleased] I did think the thyme was a good idea, yes -

...Oh. Sarcasm, huh? [looks back at him, awkwardly] There, there?

[And just watch, ladies and gents, as the boundaries of dignity crash down under the influence of alcohol. :D]

I can't believe I'm saying this to you. I'm cracking, that's just it. I must be cracking. I should just hang up my hat right now.

I can't even..- [Vindictiveness suddenly returns and he leaaans over towards Remy.] Do you believe it? Am I really the only person in the entire world that isn't fooled by his cheap little tricks and hand waving?
