Because Bill wasn't the only threat.

Long story short--I ran into Constantine and he agreed it might help. I figured at the very least it couldn't hurt so why not.

[tucky]

[Good thinking. She looks the gun over - it seems the same.]

I hope it did.

Thanks for having our backs during all that, Nick.

[everswirlingtoilet]

Uh...honestly, I was mostly worried about my own back. It was easy enough to keep an eye on other backs at the same time.

[tucky]

You mind if I say thank you anyway?

[everswirlingtoilet]

Knock yourself out. I'll even say you're welcome.

[tucky]

Then thanks. Again.

[And she sounds completely honest and heartfelt.]

[everswirlingtoilet]

You're welcome. Again.

[He sounds...not entirely sincere. And definitely uncomfortable.]

So. What you up to aside from collecting your newly anointed gun?

[tucky]

[Insincere or not, she doesn't comment on it. She will let him take that out, though.]

Fixing up the infirmary. It got thrown around in arctic waves.

[This is the only time she'll ever be able to say something like that and have it make any amount of sense.]

And resting. Resting a lot.

[everswirlingtoilet]

Arctic waves? Where did that come from? Or I guess I should ask who did it come from? [And how insane are their lives that he doesn't question for a moment that it happened?]

Don't take this the wrong way, but you look like you could use more rest.

[tucky]

Harry, but I wasn't helping much either once my imagination got started.

[She gives him a rueful half-grin.]

And you're probably right, but I got lunch for us anyway.

[Tucking the gun into her jeans pocket (the safety is on, at least), she ducks into the kitchen, calling back over her shoulder:]

You like ham sandwiches, right?

[everswirlingtoilet]

Yeah, that kind of thing is why I tried to keep moving. I thought maybe that way I wouldn't get sucked too deeply into anyone else's weirdness. [He was right, to an extent. Instead of getting too entangled in any one form of craziness, he just skipped through multiple kinds. He's not sure that was better.]

Does anyone not like ham sandwiches?

[tucky]

People who can't eat ham for religious reasons.

[She's had a Jewish inmate, as well as a couple of Jewish friends.]

What about cupcakes?

[everswirlingtoilet]

There's a difference between can't have it and don't like it, though. I had a Jewish friend in high school who loved ham. He just couldn't have it...except when he could sneak it.


What flavor? Actually, it doesn't matter. Cake of any flavor or shape or size is fine.
