David's gotten himself out of worst scrapes. I'm sure this is more of a precaution than anything else.

[Though the Gauntlet is the Gauntlet and it's not a non-zero chance.]

Does he at least have a plan?

[rehire]

He always does.

( But will he come back from this plan in one piece. )

[thefaxwhisperer]

[The plan is the first step.]

Then I would trust him to see that plan through. And David's like a cockroach. He's come back from worse.

[rehire]

I'll update his will.

( Because that is his job. )

Push everything today. I want to take you to dinner.

( How can he not stop and smell the roses. )

I'm calling can opener.

[Pushing everything because he wants to go to dinner, given life and death situations may be on the line? She would like to assume that it's just a friendly dinner, but that's not the vibe he's giving.]

Unfortunately I have something I can't cancel. Maybe another time?

[rehire]

( It's not, but he's missed his chance before. He tried. )

Yeah. Another time. I'll get working on this.

( He doesn't press the issue. He never has. They slept together the one time and they are much more than most people are together without that component. They still can be. )

[She nods, before stepping back to head back to her desk.]

Let me know if you need anything for David's paperwork.

[And things will stay business as usual.]
