Make sure you stay away from any elaborately detailed tunnel murals you see painted on the side of a building.

[flippin_peachy]

I'll try my best.

[A moment later Karen gets a text photo of him sitting shirtless at his kitchen table, gun parts spread out on it with a cup of tea nearby. He feels a little silly sending it but hopefully she likes it.]

[pagekaren]

[Karen smiles fondly when she sees the picture he sends back. The combination of the tea and the gun parts does seem very him. And it's not like it's a chore to look at him shirtless.]

Look at you.
I'd buy the pin up calendar.

[flippin_peachy]

[He has to laugh at that idea.]

I think you'd be the only one but thank you.
I'm obviously not as good at taking pictures as you are.

[pagekaren]

But I would be an incredibly enthusiastic audience.
Don't sell yourself short. You look good.

[flippin_peachy]

And you look bloody alluring.
If I didn't have to be up at 6am tomorrow I would be headed over to help you scrub those hard to reach areas.

[pagekaren]

Now that's a hell of a compliment.
If you didn't have to be up at 6 AM tomorrow, I'd invite you over to help me scrub those hard to reach areas.
If it helps, I'm wearing a goopy green face mask. It wouldn't have been alluring from the other angle.
What's getting you up so early?

[flippin_peachy]

Oh I don't know about that, I bet the goopy green face mask would really bring out your eyes.

Work.
I have to pick someone up from the airport and make sure they get to where they're headed safely.

[pagekaren]

I appreciate your vote of confidence. However...

[She sends a selfie, somehow managing to convey a dubious look despite the green goop all over her face. Her hair is piled up on top of her head, and she's angled the shot to just be from her shoulders and above.]

Your usual someone, or are you moonlighting?

[hawk_shot]

Thought you said I'm a posh bird.

[Hey, lots of friends cuddle or spoon each other, checking out their underwear while its off and also on.]

That's a deal then.

So, what were you up to before I dropped the Sykes bomb?

[flippin_peachy]

You are, but you're also American so it's hard for you to tell the difference between low class British accents and upper.

I was doing some ironing.

[flippin_peachy]

Well would you look at that, you've turned into a slime monster. What's the stuff supposed to do anyways?

[He saves that picture as well because she looks real cute.]

A friend of one of my usual clients.

[hawk_shot]

Hey, in my defense, I've been in enough meetings and posh events to be able to tell between that accent and yours.
Can I name them and identify the nuances between all the other accents your brits have? No way. But that I can tell.

You were ironing?
Ok.
Going somewhere special later?

[flippin_peachy]

Because you're a clever posh bird.

No, just making sure my dress shirts look crisp. My Dad taught me to always do them before hanging them up.

[hawk_shot]

I'm so not posh.

Yeah, that tracks.
You always look pretty classy.
So, not special plans then.

[pagekaren]

The slime monster life is tough, but rewarding.
Deep hydration and skin nourishment. It helps make your skin soft and smooth.

It must be nice when you have a client you can vouch for.
Be careful. Let me know if you need anything.

[flippin_peachy]

Are you kidding me? You grew up in a mansion with servants. You're posh.

Not really no, might go down to the pub.
You?

[flippin_peachy]

Do you use it on the rest of your body or just the face?

It is, although sometimes it doesn't stop things from going tits up.
I will.

[pagekaren]

Just the face! I have a sugar scrub that I use elsewhere.
Face skin is delicate.
Do you want to try one?

Unfortunate, but true.
Good.

[flippin_peachy]

Sugar scrub? Is that just a name or is it actually sugar?
Uh, I'll pass.

[pagekaren]

There's sugar in it. As an exfoliator.
It feels amazing.

[hawk_shot]

We didn't have servants!
Just a maid... And a chef sometimes. But those are not *servants*.

I was planning to have a date with my shower and then some trash tv, but I'm open to change that plan.

[flippin_peachy]

You basically had people like my parents around.

A date with your shower hrm? Guess you've got one of those fancy shower heads...

You wanna join?

[flippin_peachy]

I bet it makes you taste extra sweet.

[hawk_shot]

...
Not once I moved on my own. Even before I came to the UK.

That's not what I meant but of course your dirty mind went straight there. Wouldn't you love to know that, Alfred?

Someone clearly needs to protect you from old, crazy exes.
