[ Cute?! What has this conversation become? He actually shakes his head, before glancing up in Athos' direction, and curving his device a little more towards himself. ]

He's stoic, and difficult, and currently upset because he isn't with d'Artagnan, from what I can tell.

Is he cute? He's not my type. You'll have to judge that for yourself, lovely.
[ For a moment he isn't sure how to answer that question. When he does, predictably, it's not with a straight answer. Come on Clary. Were you expecting any less? ]
I'm fond of sunshine. And perhaps a little violence. Many women dream of me, Clary. I couldn't possibly satisfy all of them at once.
Polite? Are you sure we're talking about the same Alina? When I first met her I had to negotiate the terms on which she'd stop kicking me. She's anything but.
IT COULD BE A GOVERNMENT ONE
Maybe a little of both.

I think cats don't like it when you take away their ability to rule the roost.
[ Church and Chairman Meow are totally like that whenever she sees them. ]

Scratch his belly?

I think you're confusing cats with dogs, if that's your advice.
FROM: sturmhond@cdc.org
I can't blame him. I'm not relishing the thought of hours inside this thing, either.
no subject
Church loves having his belly scratched and he's a cat.

Are you alone?
no subject
I'm with Athos. He's one of my rovermates, and apparently the most reliable among them.
no subject
The French one?
[ Just gonna assume that d'Artagnan says his name at some point. ]

No. I just know his friend d'Artagnan. What's Athos like? Is he cute?
[ LOOK YOU'RE NOW HER GIRLFRIEND, STURMHOND. ]

That's really sweet! :(

What is your type? Inquiring minds want to know. We can get through the lock-in with twenty questions.

That was the worst line I've ever heard in my entire life. I'm actually ashamed to know you.

Did the CDC actually bring you here to save you from all the girls who want to kick you in the balls?
no subject
You aren't about to make their efforts in vain, are you?
no subject
I'll leave you alone for now.
From: fray.clary@cdc.org
Mostly because my Doc Martins are back in New York and it wouldn't be as satisfying.
no subject
You ought to meet Alina. I think you'd have a frightening amount in common.
no subject
I already did. Is she from your world? Omg.
no subject
She is.
She's my friend.

She's totally nothing like you. She was polite. :P
no subject
Polite? Are you sure we're talking about the same Alina? When I first met her I had to negotiate the terms on which she'd stop kicking me. She's anything but.
no subject
That's probably because you're you and I didn't give her any reason to want to kick me?
no subject
Have I inadvertently offended you, somehow? It’s nice to see I haven’t lost my touch.
no subject
I'm kind of guessing it's only a matter of time. You're charming, dude. But you're probably too charming.
no subject
Too charming. There's a level of charm that's appropriate for you?
no subject
Yeah. I think you just automatically pass it.
no subject
This is the price for being friendly, you know. Thankless task.
no subject
Awh, don't be like that :( I'll make it up to you.
