Well I went and did it anyways, didn't I?
It caused quite a bit of tension between us though.

I guess you just remind yourself of all the reasons why you think it's not a good idea to see one another.

[hawk_shot]

So, basically, I have to accept that my mother will be pissed off with me because I'm gonna do it anyway.
Christmas is gonna be fuuuuun.

Yeah, much easier to do in theory.
He is like a huge red flag but then he is sweet and thoughtful and curious and cute and supportive and a good cook.

... I'm doing the opposite, Alfred.
I mean. Mr Pennyworth.

[flippin_peachy]

Basically, yes.

A good cook is hard to find...

Alfred is fine, Miss Bishop. And you're right, would you prefer if I didn't ask questions about him?

[hawk_shot]

Will you give me asylum if she loses her shit?

UGH you're not helping.

Then it's Kate, Alfie.
And no, that's cool. It's nice having someone kinda objective to talk about it.
Most my friends just tell me to jump him.

[flippin_peachy]

I will but I doubt it will come to that.

Apologies.

Alfred is fine then, Kate.
Even after you've said there are red flags? Those aren't very good friends.

[hawk_shot]

Well, I'll beg you for food if she cuts off my cards again then.

It's ok. I'm really grateful you're putting up with me.

I miiight not have given them all the details.

[flippin_peachy]

I promise to keep you well fed, I also happen to be a great cook.

I wouldn't call it that.

Why not?

[hawk_shot]

Are you hitting on me by promising to charm me with your cooking, Alfie?

What would you call it?

Because its complicated.

[flippin_peachy]

Alfred.
And of course not, even the idea of that is very wrong for many reasons.

A breath of fresh air?

How come? They're your friends aren't they?

[hawk_shot]

Hey, if my mom is murdering I'm not going on my own.

You're probably right.

They are.
I just find it complicated to talk about in details.

[flippin_peachy]

You seem to like blowing things out of proportion.

Because you don't like people knowing that much about you?

[hawk_shot]

Its my mom we are talking about, Alfred.

Because he did something that was horrible but I don't think it was his fault.
Not... Fully.

[flippin_peachy]

I'm aware, which is why I know you're blowing it out of whack.

Well that sounds rather ominous.

[hawk_shot]

You really think she'll be understanding?

It's all so seriously complicated.

[flippin_peachy]

Oh I never said that, I was more referring to her not murdering or kicking you out.

Romance usually is.

[hawk_shot]

So maybe just cutting off my credit card. Again.

You've ever had a relationship like this one?
When you don't really know what to do?

[flippin_peachy]

There are worse things.

I have.

[hawk_shot]

Okay, maybe. Yes.
It's still pretty bad.

How did it turn out?

[flippin_peachy]

Perhaps you should think about having some savings then, for a rainy day and all that.

Sadly she was killed before we could find out.

[hawk_shot]

Kinda tough in NY.
And when your boss is your mom.

... shit, Alfred.
I'm so sorry.

[flippin_peachy]

She can't fire you if you do something in your regular life she doesn't agree with.

Thank you.
Her name was Esme, she was a lovely woman but there were times that neither of us knew what we were doing together. Didn't stop us from loving one another though.

[hawk_shot]

If only mom got that memo.

At least that's pretty common, isn't it? Feeling like you don't know what you are doing.
Did she have an accident?

[flippin_peachy]

I'll remind her.

It's hard to have all the answers, especially when you're young.
No. She was murdered.

[hawk_shot]

You're like some british fairy godfather, did you know that?

Does it get better as you grow older?
Shit.
That's horrible. I'm so, so very sorry.

[flippin_peachy]

I wasn't aware of it but I'm going to assume it's a good thing.

A tiny bit.
So am I, I was the reason she was killed.
