Staring at it isn't going to make anything happen. Trust me, I'm overly familiar with the method.


Look, you're just going to have to make a decision to move forward or not. You can't hide from it forever. And this staring game is just getting ridiculous. I have better things to do than watch you stare uselessly at a potential solution.


So are you going to do something, or not?

[She didn't have to thank him. He was glad everyone was safe--even if it was upsetting that it caused everyone to hate him.]

Yeah, it did.

[themuse]

[Well, not everyone. Mostly Esposito, but Kate had known he did the right thing. After all if he hadn't done what he did, she'd be dead.]

And it's also the perfect example of exactly why I need you around, too.

[wildrover]

[He smiled softly and looked down.]

Sure you want a rat running around reminding you of all the rules you don't technically have to follow in a city full of rubble?

[If Ryan were any other man and Kate any other woman, she might have patted him on the head affectionately. But instead, she just smiles at him, dipping her head so she can look at him.]

There's still rules. We're just not the ones enforcing them.

Besides, I need someone to balance out Castle and Lanie.

[wildrover]

[Ryan laughed softly at that, the distraction working perfectly.]

I'll do my best. Too bad Espo's not going to be around though. Someone needs to be there to debunk Castle's far-fetched theories with you. I'll try to be the reasonable one for a while though if it helps.

[themuse]

[Good, that was her plan.]

Please. For my sake. Just try and practice a little bit of sensibility to help me keep what few shreds of sanity I'd like to think I have left.

[wildrover]

Well if I'm the only hope you have of retaining that small smidgeon of sanity then I guess I can play it straight for a while. Since you asked so nicely.

[themuse]

I knew you'd have my back, buddy.

[wildrover]

[Ryan just beamed at that.]
