I wouldn't say I'm not fond. She's a nuisance. She's annoying. She needs to learn when to shut the hell up and to accept that occasionally she doesn't get answers. But she's fun to play with and even more fun to get drunk.
[ WELL THEN. Dorian knows from Flotilla there's an unspoken 'with Sweeney in the room watching' but he's not gonna tackle that bit right now. ]
Right. I'm going to be honest with you. If she had literally any other warden, I would happily ignore whatever the hell they said and go along for the ride. But unfortunately for all of us, I'm good friends with Pagan Min.
[ And he would also very much like to keep sleeping with Pagan and he knows "possibly fucking Pagan's inmate who has massive boundary issues" would be a good way to put a tiny little hamper in that friendship. But how to phrase this diplomatically... ]
He can be a teensy bit possessive of Misty. [ Not entirely true, adequate enough excuse. ] So let me clear it with the big boss first—not because of any wardenly nonsense, but because I'm not in the mood to ruin friendships due to a one night stand. Otherwise? I'd be up for it.
[Well then, indeed. That's a whole lot of 'I'm not ready for that sort of potential drama'. Even though Pagan has given Sweeney no impression that he gives a shit about who she's fucking as long as they don't hurt her.]
I'm not proposing anything formally. Just curious.
[He hasn't floated the idea past her, after all. And he's still working on the 'how do you feel about people hearing us have sex?' bit. That's a significant jump.]
[And this is the reason Sweeney fought so hard to not fuck anyone here in the first place. Fucking is for the land of drunkenness and bad decisions one doesn't have to live with when he's on the road again the next day.]
I'm not looking for problems. Certainly not looking to do anything that's more trouble than it's worth.
If I start turning down alcohol, drugs, or sex right out the gate, please go tell the Admiral because I've obviously been brainwashed or replaced by a pod person.
[ a pause before, ]
Cocaine's the one exception to that rule. I have a VERY good reason for turning down cocaine.
So let me make sure I have all my ducks in a row. You had a lucky gold coin, something that is more than a coin, something that's part of you. Somehow, Dead Laura got hold of it. Dead Laura is now Not As Dead Laura and Lucky Mad Sweeney is now Not As Lucky Mad Sweeney.
Luck's your thing, though. Are you sure you're doing fine?

Only mostly teasing by the way. No reporting me to the Barge HR that we absolutely don't have.

I though you were the one that enjoyed being objectified.

Fun enough to fuck?

And we're going to pretend that neither of us are actually trying to be responsible about something that should be impulsive and reckless.
[Okay? There's only so much a poor Leprechaun can take. His comfort zone was passed a few mile markers back.]Re: TEXT
I'm responsible now. How horrid.

No cocaine. Got it.
[There's only a moment before there's a follow up.]Met your man. Get why you like him.
[Sweeney, a master in the art of the segue.]Re: TEXT
He's dead back home. Have I told you that? I'll admit, I'm a little pissed that everybody else got to see him but I didn't.
Re: TEXT
He mentioned that. And I know the feeling. He leave a note?
Re: TEXT
What about you? Did Laura leave anything behind?
Re: TEXT
No. Didn't expect her to. Not much to say when I'm here and can't get her what she wants.
[No matter how much he wishes she had, he knows damn well it would have been too much to hope for.]Re: TEXT
Re: TEXT
Don't think there's a polite bone in her body.
[And he's seen a fair number of them.]Re: TEXT
Re: TEXT
I'm guessing she didn't touch you. That package is very deceiving. Like cut a guy in half with a kick to the nuts deceiving.
Re: TEXT
No, we only talked. And thank God for that, I'd hate to learn what my body does when bisected.
Re: TEXT
What can I say? Luck's a powerful thing and she's feeding off mine straight from the tap.
