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.

[hawk_shot]

Assume away.
I'll get you a badge with it for Christmas.

Well, that's something to look forward to, at least.
Someone was targeting you??

[flippin_peachy]

That's very kind of you, miss.

More like someone wanted to hurt me so they killed her.

It was my old army commander.

[hawk_shot]

Hey, the least I can do for my new coach.
And family friend.

Was that dipshit arrested??
It's so insane that people even think of doing something like that!!

[flippin_peachy]

Which reminds me, we should schedule another lesson sometime soon.

No.
He was the son of a very influential Lord who called in a favor, so the murder was covered up.

[hawk_shot]

Do you have time next week?

I can't believe how some people can just get away with some things. And the world keeps going.

[flippin_peachy]

I can spare an afternoon next Wednesday if that works for you.

Oh he didn't exactly get away with it.
