[funkindofwicked]

I guess since you aren't there, you're too busy for some fun tonight.

[unobtainableredemption]

[He calls back as soon as he gets in.]

I was out having a chat with my brother.

What do you have in mind?

[funkindofwicked]

[There's a soft hum in her throat.] There's a lot of things I have in mind, but too much of a good thing can be bad for you. I wonder if I should think of your health first.

[unobtainableredemption]

[Feigning insult.] You say that like I haven't been able to keep with you all of the other times.

[funkindofwicked]

Maybe I've been going easy on you. [Teasing, but it's not as playful as her tone normally gets with him.] Should I be stepping up my game?

[unobtainableredemption]

Depends, can you top what we did the last time? [He can't shake the feeling something is off about their banter, but he's determined to ignore it unless she brings it up.]

[funkindofwicked]

I can always top you, honey. [If he doesn't bring it up, she won't.] But we always have the most fun when we work up some energy first. The gangs in Fire Sector have been causing some trouble and a good date always started with appetizers.

[unobtainableredemption]

Again, you say that like you haven't already.

I have to run and talk to May before those two idiots compare notes. I can meet you in Fire in say... a half hour?

[funkindofwicked]

[There's a momentary pause before she huffs.] Sure, sure. Just don't feel left out if I've started the fun parts without you.

[unobtainableredemption]

[Trust him, he'd much rather be out punching people than talking to May about what he's about to talk to her about.]

I can make no promises.

Where should I meet you?

[funkindofwicked]

In the northeast industrial park. Don't be late.

[unobtainableredemption]

I'll be there as soon as I can.

[And with that he hangs up.]
