canon is Strike Back

[bravoes]

So this is what you walk away with? Wanting to play me? Scott might be more fun for you. He's more outgoing.



I'm more your type? Huh. Not often I hear that.

Probably 'cause you wouldn't bang everything.

[bravoes]

True, though to be fair I'm not as flirty as he is. He's the guy the girls like to fuck, I'm the kind they take home to mom and dad.

[shelbycobra]

My father would probably try to slug you. Not because of you, just he hates everyone I bring home.

...My mun is now informing me that sounds like I'm hitting on you. My bad?

[bravoes]

Sounds like the kind of guy I'd have to be careful not to hit back.

[shelbycobra]

That's my dad. All six foot four of Southern gentleman who can still pick a fight with people.

I promise I'm nicer most of the time.

[bravoes]

I'm nice and not so nice, depending on what's going on.


Have you been a casualty of Damien's?

[shelbycobra]

No. I've met him briefly, we had a drink once, but I haven't talked to him in a while.

[bravoes]

I'm surprised he didn't at least try.

[shelbycobra]

Is he that bad? [Clearly Shelby hasn't heard the full legend of Damien Scott.]

[bravoes]

He can be, though now days he's actually settled. The girl who he is seeing now would beat his ass.

[shelbycobra]

I'd like to think most women would.


I just got told the other day that I need to get laid. That ever happen to you?

[bravoes]

Yeah, funnily enough it's usually Damien that tells me. I think it says a lot about a person who thinks sex solves everything. Have to wonder what made them feel that way.

[shelbycobra]

I can't seem to get my friends to understand that my job has certain demands and that frankly, warming my bed is pretty low on the priority list.

[bravoes]

Sounds like sex is used a lot by them. For me sex is more than just getting my rocks off and being done.

[shelbycobra]

I can agree on that. Besides - well, you're a guy, let me run this by you. I spend three days out of every week working all day, and then I get on a plane and fly somewhere else and do it again. That's not the kind of girl a guy wants to go home with, is it?

[bravoes]

Shit better than my job and travel. Think that's why Damien is, or was, the way he was. Now we work with the woman he is seeing.

[shelbycobra]

Lucky you. I don't sleep with people I work with. It's not that I'm not interested in sleeping with somebody, but - my job isn't just my job. It's my life. It always comes first.

[bravoes]

For me it ends up being the person. I won't count anyone out if there is a connection.

[shelbycobra]

I can understand that. I'm finishing up my last week of vacation for the season and you have no idea how sad and boring it is to have spent it all by myself. Like, honestly depressing.

[bravoes]

I get how that feels. My mun is waiting to see where they have me.

[shelbycobra]

Maybe we could grab dinner. I could use some company. I've learned being a celebrity is zero fun if you can't share the success.

Just don't make a comment about...well, never mind.

[bravoes]

You have to finish that thought now.

[shelbycobra]

What I told Damien. Some guy once asked me if I wanted to try his stick shift.

[bravoes]

I may not flirt often but I'd really like to think I was better than that.

[shelbycobra]

Yeah, so just don't make any references to your penis and we'll be fine.

[bravoes]

I can do that, or at least no badly made puns.

[shelbycobra]

And I promise not to talk the whole night about my car.
