Oh gods please don't, just cause I can do it doesn't mean I'm any good at it.

Unless you're into jagged stitches!

[mannerism]

Not yet, I fear.

Modernity didn't catch up with me that much just yet.

well? have you bought it?

[spellslots]

That sounds like a challllllenge :)

[New goal: get Peggy into something "modern"]

And yes, for sure, I bought it the second I took it off, I only asked your input to maintain the illusion that someone else agreed with my poor financial decisions.

[mannerism]

Good god, it certainly does not.

All this hassle and for a dress already bought. Where shall you wear it too?
Any Friday night dates?

[ look, she has to ask. ]

[spellslots]

We're gonna get you into a miniskirt if it kills me :) Which it probably will!

I might have one, there are plenty of cute boys around here ;)

[mannerism]

A miniskirt? that is what they prefer these days? Never had anything that was above the knee, I fear.

What would do for a Friday night outing here? killing a monster in the woods followed by a journey back to the city?

[spellslots]

Nothing wrong with showing off a little leg. If you got it, flaunt it.

Monster fighting is not what I'd call a romantic date. Should I be worried that you think it is? Most people go see a show or grab dinner or like, go to a fun event.

[mannerism]

I'm not much for flaunting, I'm afraid.

There are advantages to longer skirts. More fabric to hide things beneath.

[ it's not even an innuendo. she only really means her gun. ]

Not very fond of shows, either.

[ your friend is a hermit, taako. ]

[spellslots]

What are you hiding beneath your skirt 😲

Peggy, darling, you're way too cool to be one of those weirdos who doesn't leave the house ever.

[mannerism]

Hardly the way to word that question, darling.

Weirdos?

[ really. ]

Good God, I go to work every single day.

[ and on the weekends, too. police-work never rests, after all. ]

[spellslots]

I don't mean like that!

Wait. You know I'm gay, yeah? I'm only into dudes, which you are not.

[He feels the need to clarify, now!!!]

Work does not count, do you leave the house to have fun? Like a real person.

[mannerism]

Well thank you.

Don't think I'd notice I'm not one if it weren't for this conversation.

[ oh boy, is she laughing to herself. a good thing he can't see. would have ruined her entire stern reputation. ]

We did go to look at the Portal didn't we?

[spellslots]

I hate you 😐

[He means that very fondly, but now he's embarrassed even though she started this whole thing with talking about hiding things under skirts.]

If that's your idea of fun this shit is way more dire than I thought.

[mannerism]

Oh come now.

Hardly the worst thing that could have happened, us discussing your affections.

[ a product of the 40s she may be but she's also a woman ahead of her time in so many ways. she hardly minds. though it is so odd to be speaking of affections so openly. ]

Where exactly would you have me go?

I've attended a dinner party with friends when I only just arrived. Surely that counts?

[spellslots]

You're mocking me somehow, I know it, nothing could be worse than that.

[He was trying to reassure that he wasn't being gross and hitting on her!!!

how-could-this-happen-to-me.mp3.]

I mean, it counts, but if that's the only thing there is I'm disappointed. This is the best fucking vacation, you gotta take advantage of it.

[mannerism]

You're being far too dramatic.

And it really is more of a mission than it is a vacation.

But now I must ask, is that dress for a date by any chance?

[spellslots]

I'm exactly the right amount of dramatic. Always.

[Everyone else in the universe would beg to differ.]

Unless you were sent here to do recon or something, it's not really a mission, bubbale. You're here, you'll get home eventually, just enjoy the break!

Like I am :) with my date I'm not telling you about because I hate you :)

[mannerism]

So there is a date.

I might have known.

Come now, you can't wait to say something.

[spellslots]

He's very handsome and his name starts with N, and ends with "one of your business" :P

I know this may come as a shock, but I only gossip about other people's romantic lives, not my own.

[mannerism]

Well, whoever the fella is, make sure you won't go dragging him off in search of too much trouble.

[spellslots]

Maybe he's the one dragging me into trouble!

[mannerism]

Something tells me that's not quite the case.

If it's a mutual getting into-the-trouble matter, well.

[ it's not something she'd usually say but perhaps her mood is a little lighter as of later, her smiles are bit easier to rise to the surface.

no reason, of course. ]

That would be an evening to enjoy. I hope you will.

[spellslots]

[Peggy is right, really, and sometimes he isn't quite sure how to handle how good and nice Eddie is, because he's well aware that he's... not. But that's not the sort of discussion he's getting into.]

Well, maybe not the kind of trouble you're thinking of, but we have our fun ;)

[If all else fails: sex jokes.]

[mannerism]

I could do without the innuendos, thank you. I shan't be asking about that.

[ it's not coy so much as it is dry. ]

So regardless who is the man in question,

will you be wearing the new dress or not?

[spellslots]

You're no fun.

[He torments because he loves.]

I think this one needs to be a special occasion, you know? It definitely deserves a classy restaurant, if nothing else, and that wasn't the plan for tonight.
