Hey -- been back for a day-ish, depending on how you look at timezones. Brought you some of that Siberian stuff you said you liked in September even though it weighs more than physics says it should and tastes like grossness. You're welcome. It's in your room. No, I don't think I'm going to be going back to Siberia any time soon, since I finished the thing there that I had to go back for. Hopefully they don't break it this time. Chinese whenever we're both conscious and in the same place for an appropriate amount of time.

You just don't have the right taste buds for it. I might even decide to share with the rest of the mansion.

Good. It's better to go someplace freezing when you're returning to blistering hot weather to defrost in.

There's Chinese in the fridge if you want some in the meantime. Along with all your favorite brews of coffee in the cabinets. I might've broken one of your mugs while you were gone. Sorry?

I have fine tastebuds. And I don't think most of the mansion would be interested in your weird Siberian candy thing. I tried chewing one of them and nearly broke a tooth. Darcy would not approve.

We've still got that riad in Morocco lined up, don't we? Yay blistering hot weather? Maybe in February.

Sweet, cold Chinese. I'm totally down for that. Which mug?

Darcy does not approve of the majority of the things we decide to do. She has a far different idea of fun than either of us do.

Yes, we do. At least that's what that one bank account says every month after it autodrafts the bills for it.

The one food that's just as good cold as hot. The "Captain America is a DILF" one.

Mostly I was thinking she wouldn't approve me breaking my teeth, but you're right about her not liking our devil may care approach to things like danger, death, and dismemberment...

I figured the joint account was good for it, but I only vaguely remembered signing paperwork for it, so.

Aw, Cap mug, no. You owe me a new one. Also, it should really be more "Captain America's an OGILF" since he's not a dad, just an old guy. What'd you replace it with? Also, I'm eating your noodles.

Most people would not, yes. They just don't understand the exhilaration of getting yourself into one of those situations.

Oh, it most definitely is especially after some additional funding I've funneled into it.

"You've got me swooning. Over Captain America's ass and abs. Cap, flex that ass!" Well good. It's about time my ordering two paid off.

Mostly I like getting out of those situations.

Additional funding ftw!

It's like you know me -- you really know me. But really, I feel like we should take a trip to Central Park so I can appreciate Cap's aesthetic in person at ridiculous-o'clock as he zooms past us over and over again.

There's a little part of you that enjoys getting into those conversations. Then it's figuring out how quickly we can get out of them.

What? You haven't hacked a security cam feed? But yes, we should probably wander back into NYC at some point to make sure things haven't exploded on us. (Yes, I know it would be on the news if it had. My statement still stands.)
