[thearchangel]

Damn. I know I asked, but part of me was hoping you'd say fire away.

[onebullet]

You know I'm not above using a persuasive bullet

But he looks like you'd take an entire limb off if you shot one

[ ... ]

Also he might be completely innocent.

[thearchangel]

Hm. Fair... Much as I know you like scars, I'm not that eager to lose my trigger hand.

And there is that.

[onebullet]

I meant his

[ Guy's built like something from those old black and white cartoons from Earth]

[thearchangel]

Oh.

I thought you meant he looked like he'd bite. Hard. Which he kind of does. But I see your point, too.

[onebullet]

Didn't think he'd be fast enough to get a bite out of you

[thearchangel]

He's got one thing going for him. Speed.

If he were any faster, I'd think he had thrusters.

[onebullet]

You're joking

[ Who thought a speedy, grouchy rodent was a good idea? ]

[thearchangel]

I can't tell you how much I wish I were.

[onebullet]

[ The "But why?" she was going to reply with is deleted. ]

Whatever

Make sure he doesn't run circles round you and destroy everything in that case

[thearchangel]

[Just wait until he tells you this guy rolls up into a ball-]

Don't worry. The weapons are in my bag. Like hell is he getting near that.

... if I can upgrade these things they might work for you.

[onebullet]

[ Ooooh! ]

That so

No fleshy parts in the weapons is there

[thearchangel]

Not a single one.

They're not very powerful... need some upgrades, but we both know that's definitely in my wheelhouse.

[onebullet]

You know I'd never say no to adding a new gun or two to my collection

[ Her, currently, very small collection. ]

Between this and sorting weapons for the ship, am I ever going to see you again?

[ Lost in the sauce calibrations. ]

[thearchangel]

I figured you'd like that.

[... he would also like it if she had more guns. But that's him being paranoid.]

Shepard, we... live together. [Give him a second.] Oh. Right. Well, we're not exactly in a galaxy-ending war so... I think I can spare a little more time.

[onebullet]

You sure?

Prepared to swear on that?

[thearchangel]

I swear on my rifle.

How's that work?

[onebullet]

If that's the case, the calibrations can have you and I'll take the rifle now.

[thearchangel]

Ouch. Fine, I see how it is. Only like me for the size of my weapon...

[onebullet]

Thought size didn't matter

"it's all about how you pop the heat sink"

[thearchangel]

I did it again, didn't I.

[onebullet]

[ Rest assured, she is cackling away on the other end of the phone. ]

Did what again? I thought we were talking about your weapon.

[thearchangel]

[At least he can still make her laugh!!]

My rifle, at least. I swear on - I will take breaks from this project.

But just for you.

[onebullet]

[ She dithers on whether to push for more, so there's a small delay before her next reply. ]

For yourself too

We're not up against Reapers any more, remember?

[thearchangel]

Hah, hold on now... one thing at a time.

[He's still always got some project he's working on in the background... one way or another.]

It's hard to believe, I think.
