there's something due any day

Always a plus. I do love when I can prevent a murder rather than solve one.

[It's way less depressing.]

[unforgivably]

But, sometimes that scream's on delay.

I also might have a date. I'm wearing her down. That sounds a lot less gallant in this day and age.

[patrols]

Only if you don't know for sure that she's playing hard to get. Some girls still do find that a viable flirting tool.

[She doesn't. She doesn't really have the time to beat around the bush.]

[unforgivably]

She is actually.

[patrols]

Then I say have fun with it. You wouldn't want it to be too easy for you, after all.

[Then he gets bored way too fast.]

[unforgivably]

Yeah, I got over the sorority girls back in the 2000's.

[patrols]

And now you're trying to woo a walking, talking death omen. Clearly that shows growth.

[unforgivably]

An impossibly intelligent, wildly attractive death omen. On sabbatical at MIT.

Lot of sabbaticals going on.

[patrols]

You know, there are all kinds of studies that say we're working too hard. Good for them.

[She should probably take their advice, but what is time off.]

[unforgivably]

Speak of the no vacations since 2015 sheriff...

[patrols]

You say that, but then I have incidents like this weekend and it makes the idea of vacation look somewhat improbable.

[unforgivably]

Didn't we all take care of that? Except for the clean-up? Imagine what we'd do if you completely left us to your own devices.

[patrols]

We'll revisit this after these crazy hunters are off the board.

[unforgivably]

That's not going to be any time soon, but we did drive them away from Mystic Falls.

Oh, right. We do have two new witches on the Chessboard, too. Ezra Katz, this Dr. at Mystic Falls Gen, he donated money to the historical society last year, and his husband.

[patrols]

Are they good witches or bad witches?

[unforgivably]

From the bad witches trying to be good witches.

So, grey witches.

[patrols]

They didn't really have those in Oz.

[She was looking for an Wicked Witch or Glinda comparison here.]

[unforgivably]

( no direct translation he's afraid. )

They didn't have gays in Oz, either, but we are modern with our witches.

Although, I guess, friend of Dorothy. Maybe they did.

Anyway, they're going to be here a while. We don't "know" about them

[patrols]

Do you want me to shake the witch network and see what I can find out?

[unforgivably]

We're on it, but I'll let you know if you do have to shake a very quiet tree.

What did I tell you? Great graduation weekend.

[patrols]

I guess you guys were lacking some death-threatening disasters to keep you busy. Good to see something's finally landed on your plate.

[unforgivably]

It did get quiet there for awhile, not counting the Salvatore School's monster magnets.

[patrols]

Monsters are at least predictable. People are a whole other animal.

[She always did prefer the simplicity of monsters.]

[unforgivably]

That they are. A gorgeous redhead just sat down at my bar, I'm gonna let you go, Linds.

[patrols]

Then godspeed to you. I'll see you later.
