Yeah, well, even clever chicks can fall for assholes and their bullshit.

Of course we are. I was worried you wouldn't be.

[flippin_peachy]

Assholes like me.

It's fine, maybe Sykes had a point with her warning you about me.

[hawk_shot]

Ddi you manipulate her?

Oh God, Alfred, let it go.
You're not a bad guy, I know you. I thought I was calling you out on breaking her heart, never on being a mean spirited dick.

[flippin_peachy]

No, course not.

Kind of hard to when there's a grain of truth to it, hanging around me tends to get people hurt.
...
I think I just threw up a little at the idea of me and Sykes together.

[hawk_shot]

Then trust me, you're nothing like that asshole.

You need to stop believing that, stop punishing yourself like that.
...
She's THAT bad, huh?

[flippin_peachy]

....well hopefully I'm a lot better looking.

Sorry but that's easier said than done.

She's a sadistic lunatic so yeah, she's that bad.

[hawk_shot]

No question about it. Plus, you have the accent.

Would it help if I remind you?

I'll remember to punch her lights out next time.

[flippin_peachy]

You a fan of it?

[a small pause.] You're already helping. Thanks, Kate.

Only if I'm there to watch.

[hawk_shot]

Who isn't?

Good. That's what buddies are for.

I'll keep her entertained, text you and wait for you to arrive.

[flippin_peachy]

Posh people?

[yeah....buddies. Who check each other out and accidentally slip up and say they care about one another when they're upset....] You're good at cheering a bloke up, you know that?

Perfect.

[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.

[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.

[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?

[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?

[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.

[flippin_peachy]

Did you do that because you didn't want a maid or because you were afraid the other students would make fun of you?

You're the one who phrased it like that, not me.

Meet me at the Severed Arms.

[hawk_shot]

I wasn't afraid!
It's just... It was my dad'd place and, I don't know, it felt more like myself. I work hard, I don't need anyone buying my grades or a palce in a championship.

Well, I didn't mean it that way!

You got it.

[flippin_peachy]

All right, I was just teasing. Didn't mean to hit a sore spot.

[hawk_shot]

...

No, I know.
It's just... You know what it feels like when you don't think you fully belong in a place? Or with some people? But the whole world is set on reminding you that you do.

[flippin_peachy]

That's what it feels like for you?

[hawk_shot]

Sometimes.
