I like knowing you're still alive. I would know it just as well if you came in for a pack of cigarettes.

Though I admit I'm relieved your beau keeps you fed. I was beginning to wonder if you ever bothered eating.

[killtime]

[ He can't see it, but she makes a little face. ]

my beau?
let's not

[ More importantly: ]

besides you're good with the stitches
and i trust you with a sharp object near my face
can't say that for everybody

[aceslow]

[ Not a fan of beau, is she? That's a little funny. ]

You probably shouldn't trust me with a sharp object near your face. We hardly know each other. For all you know, I could have permanently disfigured you.

Maybe I'm just biding my time.

[killtime]

i don't know
might enjoy the novelty of being disfigured
somehow doubt that's your play though
you're too decent

[aceslow]

I certainly don't have a reason to disfigure you. That probably has less to do with decency than it does a lack of sociopathy in my nature.

[killtime]

yeah
it's almost like you're a good man or something
take a compliment kim

[aceslow]

No, I don't think I will.

[ He's amused, though. She can probably tell; it's not as though he's any easier to read in person than over text. ]

You don't know me nearly well enough to be making that sort of judgment call yet.

[killtime]

[ Apparently unfazed, and maybe a bit amused herself: ]

i know you better than some
we've been through things you and i

[aceslow]

Does it count if most of those things take place in a convenience store?

[killtime]

especially then
there's something honest and unassuming about a place like that

[aceslow]

It's a migraine manifested as a physical place, more like.

[ The fluorescent lights... ]

I suppose it does engender a certain sort of honesty. People certainly don't bother putting on airs when they walk through those doors.

[killtime]

i think there's something about you that compels a person to honesty too

[ Though she might be a little biased. ]

[aceslow]

Is that so? Maybe one day you can do me a favour and inform everyone else that they ought to be feeling that way. It would make my job a lot easier if everyone just up and confessed their crimes to me.

[killtime]

not sure anything i say can be more effective than that thing you do with your eyebrow kim

[aceslow]

You know, only two people have pointed the Eyebrow out to me, and you're one of them. It's less effective than you think. It's just that it's effective on you.

Which you probably shouldn't have told me, by the way.

[killtime]

maybe i'm just trusting that you'll only use your eyebrow powers for good
