And what about if you can bring Mercy back here and stay?

[bywolves]

[ He pauses. ]

I don't know. I hadn't thought about it. I don't - think about that, much.

[devoutish]

You don't want to start counting on it. Mm?

[bywolves]

Yeah. I can't count on it. I can only take what I have and be satisfied with that.

[devoutish]

And you have got quite a lot today.

[voiceinthephone]

Coming right up Mr. Solomons! And pleasure to meet you in person!

[As he takes the shortbread into the kitchen, he serves the pie with flourish typical of a man who knows he made a delicious meal for his guest. Hell, he adds in a glass of chilled milk to pair off the tart pastry]

I didn't think I'd meet you in person so soon.

[devoutish]

Yeah, well, I had a free moment. The note made me curious.

[He cuts into the pie with his fork.]

You're a friendly lot, aren't you.

[bywolves]

And I'm satisfied with it.

[devoutish]

It's worth a proper swim, isn't it?

[ Come oooooon, buddy. ]

[bywolves]

What counts as a proper swim? [ As far as he's concerned, he's swimming fine!! ]

[devoutish]

Feet off the ground.

[bywolves]

[ Because Royce is a dick, and he's sitting in the water further up, he just lifts his feet off the sand. He's still sitting, he's just got his legs floating in front of him. ]

[devoutish]

And shoulders in.

[bywolves]

[ Royce raises his eyebrows. ]

What difference does it make? I'm in the water with half my clothes off, Solomons, that's swimming enough.

[devoutish]

I just want to see if I can get you to do it.

[ :3 ]

[bywolves]

Well, now that you've told me that, you'll never see it happen.

[devoutish]

[Have some splashes, Royce. They're aimed at your head.]

[bywolves]

[ Hiss!! Royce splutters, and then kicks his feet to splash in Alfie's direction like a child. ]

[devoutish]

[He ducks underwater briefly, resurfacing several feet further away.]

You could reach me better if you were in the water, couldn't you.

[bywolves]

That is not going to work on me, Solomons. [ He's gonna stubbornly park his butt right here and not get in, just to be contrary. ]

[devoutish]

Contrarian.

[He says it lovingly.]

[bywolves]

I hope you're not just figuring that out now.

[devoutish]

[He scoffs and waves a hand, trying not to smile.]

I hope you're not gonna sit outside of the room when we go to figure out this DVD player of yours.

[bywolves]

I should, if only because I'd find it funny to see you struggle with the damn thing.

[devoutish]

I'm better with electronics than you.
