We don't really have similar stylistic taste...would I be allowed to redecorate?

So, my favorite soldier boy ever, how would you feel about helping me move? Boxes of books and furniture, oh joy right? I promise to make it worth your while one way or the other. Date to be determined but likely within the next week or so.

Of course my love! As long as it involves some sort of whips and chains motif of course.
You really want the penthouse? Come to a decision about your career?

I'm about 80-85% sure. I have a little more thinking to do, but it's looking damn likely right now. There's a host of reasons for it but I think you already know most of them from talking to me the other day anyway.

Well, the place is vacant. Furnished. Get that soldier boy to haul over the stuff you've got and I can leave the key with security whenever you want to pick it up. Or I could meet you.

You could meet me so that I don't feel like now that you've got Boy Scout I get no love. ;) Yeah, enlisting Soldier Boy to help me with some lifting was the plan. I should probably talk to the Snow Valley folks before actually moving out. Don't want them investigating me for odd behavior now.

BoyScout's in Israel so I'm not getting any love either. But yeah I can help you move. Or, y'know, bring wine by after Lex helps you move.
Yeah, you should probably talk to them. Did you sort everything out with Remy and Amanda or are you still being all boiling bubbly rage inside?

We could give each other love to make up for it?
I haven't spoken to Amanda since the other night. I thought I'd calmed down a lot. I was wrong. Have not spoken to LeBeau since because, yeah, I see that ending poorly unless it's a conversation where I hand in my resignation.

We could! I'm sort of in this dating thing with the Boy Scout though and I think I might feel guilty. And aren't you in a dating thing with the Soldier Boy? Even if you're not getting love either you're a one relationship at a time gal, are you not?
Oh you did speak to her though? In person? And it sounds like it didn't go well...?

But they are dating things and not relationship things. (You're shooting holes in all my girlie fantasies. I guess it's you and me but only in my mind, alas!) With you on the guilty, but I can pretend I wouldn't have a guilt thing. And then I could have a hot woman thing and, really, how do you say no to that? (Except for how you totally just shot me down.)
I did, it was and it didn't.

Of course. I can think of few things I'd rather be doing than helping you move, and they all involve you anyway (in one form or another). Just call me when you are ready and if I'm not on some dangerous assignment I'll be there.

I think I'm claiming myself for Laurie in the very near future so maybe I should see if you're around not doing very dangerous things afterward so you can paint a more vivid picture of those things you'd rather be doing with me?
Well if you're not around I'm going to have to find some other strapping man to help me, but I don't think you'd really appreciate me making it worth their while...

THAT would not be ideal, no. So I'll be there to paint you a picture--probably with my hands--and we'll get everything moved as efficiently as possible so we can move on to more entertaining pursuits.
Unless you've got a better idea.

In a couple weeks/months I could end up really hating you for that. (Then again, there's a roof, there are alleys and back seats and his place...)

Your boy toy lives in proximity to you why do you need a shack up spot in the city? I guess you could always kick me out, take over the penthouse and give me the key to your suite instead. See, there are ways of working together here!

In case we're already in the city and don't want to wait til we get back to the mansion, of course!
But yes this is true if we're on a date in the city I can switch keys with you. Then you'll be in close proximity to your boy toy!

Mmm, boy toy proximity. Sorry, he said something in emails and now I have mental images. They keep going between him and then you and Amanda. Do you have any idea how hard it is to concentrate with that in your head?!

He's not Boy Scout anymore. It seems... wrong, now that I'm dating him. Now he's Slick. Except Beaubier was Slick so now that OriginalSlick is back in town I'll have to rename one of them.

Boy Scout isn't wrong if you like corrupting the shiny and clean ones. That might entirely be why I call Lex Soldier Boy so often. Makes him sound so shiny and white and you know how I like to get things dirty sometimes.
Jean-Paul as Slick just doesn't work for me. Lightning, now that works for me.

I don't like to get things dirty when it comes to children and sex and the thought makes me want to curl up in a foetal ball and cry my eyes out, so I'm going to stay as far away from that as humanly possible.
Kane's a better Slick. I'll have to come up with a new name for Beaubier if he indeed returns to the mansion. Lightning doesn't work for me though, since Amanda is Zeus because she's the one who throws lightning.

I wasn't thinking of it in terms of kids, actually. I associate Boy Scout with Kane more than with children. It's more an archetype of personality for me than an organization.
Well you need something better than Speedy for him, and that's all I've got. Flash? Xavier gave him the clear. I need to poke him to make sure his ass is getting his shit there already.

Few days ago? I didn't get a day-by-day itinerary for him but I know he wasn't supposed to be gone this long. But I read his couch and know he comes back, just can't tell when exactly.
Uh, yeah I'll have to take your word on that.

I've always been able to read into the future. I read your father's butcher shop the night we broke in to be sure we wouldn't be caught, remember? I just don't do it often because precognition is as reliable as... something completely unreliable. My metaphor maker is broken tonight. Are you doing anything pressing right now?
