Hey, it's Annie, you know what to do.

So then, nothing traumatic's been going on in your neck of the woods, then?

[As in 'someone stole my face and attacked people' or 'bonding over evisceration'-style trauma.]

Well enough, I suppose.

[allgotrabies]

Well my friend got cut up and murdered when he was just trying to take a nap. But I'm not allowed to do the revenge thing anymore so... does that count?

[constantdick]

You weren't 'allowed' to do it before—not 'ere anyway, even if you did. So what's changed?

[allgotrabies]

Godric will disown me. [which terrifies her. And hurts her. But that's what's at stake.]

You've got to admit sometimes revenge is the only thing that helps.

[constantdick]

So, the importance of Godric's good graces, rather than any sort of change in mindset.

True enough. Revenge doesn't 'ave to be an eye for an eye though.

[allgotrabies]

Yeah. [A little smile] I'm still a bitch, just one on good behavior.

...You're not going to tell me the best revenge is to live a good life, though, right?

[constantdick]

Nah, you just make 'em look like an idiot instead of killing 'em.

[allgotrabies]

You're saying I could make someone look like an idiot? Charmer.

[constantdick]

You've always struck me as a resourceful person.

[allgotrabies]

Pretty sure if I'd done more acting and less thinking I wouldn't be here. I know, I know how it sounds, but... maybe I should've spent some time learning how to be a good wolf instead of trying to just be a quiet human.

[constantdick]

Seem to me like 'more acting and less thinking' gets people into trouble more so than the opposite, as that's pretty much the definition of being impulsive.

[So says the king of recklessness.]

[allgotrabies]

Impulsive people are the ones who get to say they lived interesting lives though, yeah?

[constantdick]

I'm a big fan of spontaneity; keeps the demons off-balance don't yeh know. It's less fun if it ends up being foolhardy.

[allgotrabies]

[She sobers just a little] So how do you keep the fun alive without being foolhardy?

[constantdick]

It's been a bit hit and miss in my experience. The more reckless you get, the 'igher the stakes.

[allgotrabies]

Better the rewards though.

What's the last spontaneous thing you've done?

[constantdick]

I'm a bit less spontaneous than I used to be, but a few years back I drunkenly and impulsively cast a protection spell on a friend of mine, who got caught in a fire that very night. If not for the spell, 'e would've perished.

[allgotrabies]

That's why you're the guy I'd go drinking with.

You being my warden doesn't mean I have to stop flirting, does it? Because... [an expansive shrug. She wouldn't know how to stop even if she wanted to. Which she doesn't.]

[constantdick]

Good to know I'm useful in some way.

Flirt all you want to luv. [He does get the impression it's a way of life with her, not unlike his own.] But I'm going to try to be immune to it, if you don't mind.

[allgotrabies]

Don't try too hard. You've already seen me naked.

[constantdick]

Along with 'alf the ship.

[Naked Tai Chi and all.]
