I should go out this weekend.

Out?

You know, to a bar. My daughter's with my ex, so I've got a weekend free.

Painting the town red? *amused*

Probably not. There's a fellow detective I owe drinks, and then with Harry, painting things red can be dangerous.

Is there a story behind that?

No, just Harry's reputation.

Aha.

Burning things down, blowing them up, getting attacked. You know, the usual.

He has a flair for the dramatic.

That's one way to put it.

I'm really good at understatement.

Interesting talent to have.

One of many.

I can go so many places with that.

*smiles* That's the idea.

I'll behave myself however.

Awwwww

Yeah, I know, it's a shame.

It really, really is.

You'll have to get your kicks elsewhere I guess.

I suppose.

You'll survive, I'm sure.

By the grace of God. Or something.

Sounds inspired.

Well, Anna's with my ex so I should do something instead of working or staying in. You know, being a house mouse.

A house mouse, huh? Not an office ox, or a bedroom badger?

One, an ox wouldn't fit in my office. You've seen it. Two, we're more like rabbits in the bedroom, dear.

*laughs loudly* Yeah, maybe YOU'RE the rabbit. I'm definitely thinking something hairier and dirtier than you, cottontail.

Hey, you like my cottontail, bud. I always like getting down and dirty with you.

Yeah, you've got a hot cottontail, I'll tell you that. Speaking of down and dirty, got time to pencil me into the weekend agenda?

Thank you, handsome. You're not so bad yourself. Yes, I've got time for you.
