It really wasn't me this time.
Why do I have a feeling that's a complete lie?
[She grins back, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear] I am. And you sound like you're attempting to butter me up for either bad news or a favor.
[Damn she's good but really that's what he likes about her.
That and her legs. And her hips. And her face. And, well, he really doesn't need to be thinking about these things while talking right to her.]
Depends on what you call bad news, Susan. If you're talking, 'your grandma died again' bad news or 'the world's going to end in a few minutes' kind.

[She blinks at him, giving him a blank look for am oment while she tries to figure that out.]
You know, the thing about you saying something like that, is that I can't always tell if you're joking. So how about you just spit it out, hmm?

What are you up to, Harry Dresden.
[Her nose was itching, just like it always did when he was up to something that she should generally stay out of - but rarely did.]

Things with a capital T. And these 'things' are happening at your place? Why do I feel insulted I didn't get an invite?
I'm still irritated that a possibly very pleasant evening was ruined by that thing. You still owe me a makeup date.
I might actually make you write that out so I can cash it in.
[She very much enjoyed putting him off-kilter, and he certainly had given her a lovely preview that night.]

[Smirking, she reaches into her bag, pulling out her notepad and pushing it over to him, along with a pen.]
Dated to: Within one week of after Things.

One week? [Harry raises an eyebrow as he accepts the pen and paper. He quickly begins scribbling across it, Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden for one (1) date with Susan Rodriguez. Dated to one week after Things. And he signs it with a flourish.]
One week after Things it is.
One week after Things it is.

[She takes the pad back, looks it over, then slips it back in her bag with a satisfied smirk.]
That takes care of that, but don't think that it's going to keep me from trying to figure out exactly what Things are, Dresden.

Too late. [She leaned closer over the table] You could always just save me the trouble and fill me in now.
Again... too late. I know you. That's trouble enough.
Don't you dare try to coddle me out of this, Harry Dresden. I'm a grown ass woman. I can take care of myself.
[Mostly. When it didn't involve frog demons or anything being zapped at her.]
