[crassidy]

Not dismissin' anythin'.

[Yes he is.]

Just sayin' I've been a vampire three times as long as I've been a human. Whatever I once was, I sure as shite ain't any more. You deal with many immortal folk, doc?

[slightlyoffchilt]

I have, in fact. And I still find humanity within them. But we need not dwell on that, if you don't want to do so.

[crassidy]

Aye, let's not dwell on any of it. Smart choice, there. You're a good man. Way better use of our time is gettin' shit faced, wakin' up in some random folks bathroom and not rememberin' a bloody thing of it, eh? How about it?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Is that an experience you often enjoy, Cassidy? Because I actually do find that. Worrisome.

[crassidy]

Not often. Only days endin' in a Y. Maybe leave the judgement for some fella who needs the help.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Why are you taking concern as judgement?

[crassidy]

'Cause there's nothin' to be concerned about. I find bathroom floors comfortable enough sleepin' arrangements.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I just think that, perhaps, you deserve better. Just a thought.

[crassidy]

[A moment of hesitation, because shit, is this... someone caring about his well being?!]

I got a comfy bed if that's what you're worried about, mate.

[slightlyoffchilt]

That is the bare minimum of what I'm worried about.

[crassidy]

Christ, thank feck, I was wonderin' if you were tryna house me up like a lost pup.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Oh, no, no -- I doubt Raina would appreciate me trying that again.

[crassidy]

Raina, is it? That your lady?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Oh, yes. She is. You've probably met her already?

[crassidy]

Oh, yeah, we've crossed paths. [Ahem.] She not a fan of you pickin' up strays, there, doc?

[slightlyoffchilt]

She can be somewhat controlling sometimes, my darling Raina.

[And Chilton was not always the most obedient.]

[crassidy]

I bet she can, just your type, is it not? [A half chuckle in those words.]

Although, if y'got some good booze and nice digs, I won't say no to the couch every now and then. It really is nice of you to offer there, mate.

[Did he offer? Too late.]

[slightlyoffchilt]

She won't mind, probably. Just come when she's in De Chima, perhaps.

[This invitation lasts as long as he doesn't know about your new boss, Cass.]

[crassidy]

[Can't blame a guy for picking up the first well paid job he gets offered in about ninety years.]

I dunno, there, I reckon she'd be alright with my company about the gaff. I got quite a calmin' presence, I've been told.

[slightlyoffchilt]

[Can't blame a guy for wanting to protect himself!]

If you think it is worth the try, I certainly do as well. She's a sincere person -- would be best to introduce you, I think. A charming but formal meeting.

[crassidy]

Charmin' but formal. Heh.

[Well, he can do one of those things. Also he's now stuck in that tricky state of wondering if he's left it too long to point out he... sort of knows her, maybe. Awkward...]

I might be able to manage that over a few drinks. Don't you worry, I'll work my magic.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Mention that we're friends, would you? Easier to explain that right away, I imagine.

[crassidy]

Course I would! You're one of me best mates, I wouldn't leave that out. I'm sure she'll be dead impressed, really I do.

[Let him just swallow don't his growing sense of guilt first, thanks.]

[slightlyoffchilt]

I think it would help smooth things over. After all -- more fun if we're all on board, isn't it?

[He honestly doesn't know they've already met. Intimately.]

[crassidy]

[And Cassidy isn't quite sure just how open those two are about their relationship status. For now he treads a fine line of not dropping anyone into any trouble as best as he can, and it's not easy for a vampire who likes to share a lot of information.]

Right, exactly. On board. Just what I was thinkin'. Smoothed over. S-should I... call her, like?
