You've seen 90% of it all before. Maybe you should lie down. Take a break. Or, perhaps, even the archaic but still relevant chill pill.

What is it with you people?

My mun got excited too. Kind of gave me a headache.


But really though, an Echolls and murder? Really? Like they couldn't have thought of something more original?

[sleuthtastic]

Well, you know what they say. If the shoe fits...

[storywasepic]

Basically rehashing my father's story arc? I'm better than that I'd of thought.

And of course you come to the rescue. That's kind of your thing though.

[ Flatly (and without any hint of irony): ] Everything.

Everything is with these people.

[sleuthtastic]

I don't know. I kind of like your new look.

[sets]

Aww, Vee. Don't— it's not—

[ The kindest word for her expression at this point would be a wince. ]

I like it on you. On me, not so much.

[sleuthtastic]

You look cute.

[ 'Cute' like their relationship will stay the same is distinctly under the TBA WOW THIS IS AWKWARD column, but. What isn't, right? ]

You still look like you.

[ Clint "I feel awkward about this but probably not for the right reasons" Barton. ]

Debatable.

[sleuthtastic]

Shut up.

[ BUMPING HER SHOULDER INTO. HER...S. ]

I like it.

[sets]

[ On the bright side, at least pants tents aren't the sort of thing she has to worry about anymore. ]

Uh— for the record, if Goslingtown's still your thing, I'm rocking a sort of Keira Knightley circa Bend it like Beckham. The ass is gonna need work, though.

[sleuthtastic]

I was a high school cheerleader.

[ Also, Keira Knightley circa Bend It Like Beckham is way better than Keira Knightley circa Love Actually, so. ]

[sets]

[ The girly six-pack, man!!!

Also: this is literally killing him. Her? Him? ]

I think— you may have neglected to mention this, previously.

[sleuthtastic]

I did a car wash fundraiser to raise money for the school, once.

[ The girly six-pack is still a six pack, okay? Purple also better than feathers on shoulders. ]

Is—

[ HOLD IT TOGETHER, BARTON. ]

This is, like, a nightmare, right.

[sleuthtastic]

If you ask me, you're still kind of dreamy.

[sets]

Flattery will get you nowhere, Mars.

[sleuthtastic]

I am pret-ty sure the term is everywhere.

[sets]

I don't count as everywhere. I'm easy level.

Uh, for you, just so we're being clear.

[sleuthtastic]

I knew you liked me.
