Minimum Colateral Damage is usually the best way to go about it in my book at least if you want to return to the scene of the crime more than once

can't tell you how many times i robbed my neighbors kitchen

oh that. i needed an extraction from someone who had been exposed to mustard gas. there was only one person on record a man who had survived fighting the Germs

only HE was in the attic and his whole bloody family (plus a stoned old lady) was in the house i had to get through

so i told the soldier's son i had had a prescription for his father

and when it seemed like he wanted to give it to him himself

i told him it was a suppository

so they let me walk right in

didn't even have to hurt them at all

i did but that's because they all seemed like right cunts

didn't kill anyone tho as much as they all probably deserved it

Until I came here, I very rarely ever returned to the site of a job. Or, in fact, the planet on which it took place.

That is an amazing story. And it illustrates why I'm so fond of you, I think.

[...Perhaps he didn't mean to say that. Honestly....honesty. But he isn't really embarrassed. Sally should be aware by now that he likes her quite a bit.]

[fuckinabucket]

hm... in that case i can understand the temptation to be a bit Flashy~

i'm glad you think so! not exactly dinner table talk now that i think of it is it?

i think the story says i'm clever and quick on my feet but i have no problem fighting dirty

and that's what you love about me is it darling? can't say i blame you 😘

[rosebyanyother]

I think love might be going a bit too far. [Sorry, Sally you asked a question and he seems to be compelled to answer. Honestly.] But it does have a lot to do with how very attached I am to you.

I care about you because you make me feel safe, too. Which isn't an easy thing.

[ Oh, she absolutely baited that hook on purpose ]

still can't come out and say it can you? the dreaded L word?? it's alright darling you don't need to spell it out i no men have trouble expressing their feelings

[ It should be clear by this point she's just being a pest, having goaded Peter along that line of conversation so she could playfully smack him with a comically ill-fitting stereotype

But then he went and said something actually nice and now she feels like she ought not leave that unaddressed ]

oh i would absolutely fuck up anyone who tried to hurt you so your not wrong to feel like that either ;) you've given me a hand when i was down more than once

and i don't have to return the favor

but i'd like to

[rosebyanyother]

[Somehow Peter manages to avoid answering that question. It's rhetorical anyway!]

I know where to turn if I need it. And I would turn to you.



My but all this candidness is exhausting. How do people DO it?

[Don't mind him, making light of the situation.]

[fuckinabucket]

[ It satisfies her that the best Peter can manage with all that is a graceful sidestep; she likes pestering her friends, apparently. He's got such a silver tongue, a non-response is its own little victory ]

good because i will hold you to that ;) i know you don't need me to solve your problems but sometimes two evil geniuses are better than one don't you think?

isn't it tho? next thing you know we'll be sharing childhood memories over a pot of tea and weaving matching friendship bracelets

at least i assume thats how friendship works i actually have no bloody clue

don't tell anyone alright?

[ She likes to think he knows her well enough to read the tone of sarcastic humor to her words ]

[rosebyanyother]

[He absolutely does. And yet: he feels compelled to answer where he normally wouldn't.]

I won't.

[...Anything he'd normally say in response to her bit about friendship would probably come out too truthful for his own liking and Peter doesn't feel particularly like dancing around the issue. So. He's going to leave it at that.]
