Karen's ignoring plot twists now.

[secondshift]

I do not need therapy because of what happened last night.

I mean, I do need therapy, but not because of last night. That's not even canon for me. And even if it was, I have someone I can talk to now. So don't think I'm going to have some weird nervous breakdown or something.

What is it with you and making me angst-ridden? It's less than a week till Christmas, for Christ's sake. I refuse to do anything other than enjoy the holiday spirit of peace and joy. And possibly a certain special someone.

Shut up and have a brownie.

[unorthodoxly]

Dare I even ask?

[secondshift]

One of my friends faked his death.

[unorthodoxly]

Wow. Not even sure how to approach that one.

[secondshift]

Can we talk? This might be a more professional thing. Less flirting. More what the fuck.

[unorthodoxly]

Of course you can talk to me.

[secondshift]

Thanks, Jack.

Not that I don't want to keep flirting with you, because I do. I really, really do. Please don't stop that.

[unorthodoxly]

You are welcome.

[secondshift]

I mean that. I want to see you again.

Not while talking about Neal.

[unorthodoxly]

[Smiles.] Anytime you like.

[secondshift]

[Blushes.] Did I fail the flirting with you part? And should I just come by your office?

[unorthodoxly]

Oh you didn't fail that part. [Winks and smiles.] Stop on by.

[secondshift]

[Still blushing.] Good. I'll be over. Does your mun prefer another separate thread?

...Because I was still kind of hoping you'd join me upstairs.

[unorthodoxly]

Oh, definitely need a separate thread for this.

[secondshift]

I'll get her on making one right now.

At least I made you brownies?

[unorthodoxly]

I do like brownies.

[secondshift]

Least I can do for asking you to shrink me.

[Karen chuckles, she's clearly embarrassed to have to ask for his help.]

[unorthodoxly]

Don't be embarrassed in seeking out my advice. It is what I am good at.

[secondshift]

Yeah, but there are other things I'd rather be doing in your office, not asking you to put me back together.

[Chuckles.]

Here. And Jack? I owe you one.

[unorthodoxly]

Well, yes I do have a nice couch in there.

And no you don't.

[secondshift]

Dammit, now I'm thinking of couch sex.

Well, if you ever get arrested. Which please don't.

[unorthodoxly]

I don't plan to. Get arrested that is, not the couch sex.

[secondshift]

Yeah, I'd like you not in jail? I've already had my boss accused of murder and as you're about to find out one of my friends is an ex-con.

[unorthodoxly]

I'll do my best to behave. Unless of course it is just the two of us.

[secondshift]

That kind of misbehavior I wholeheartedly endorse.

[unorthodoxly]

I was hoping you would.

[secondshift]

Anytime you need an enabler, call me.

And hey, in non-enabling topics: I'm putting together my Christmas plans today and thought crossed my mind...would it be out of line to invite you to Christmas dinner?
