Right. Because people are going to be leaving messages in my head now.

Try it.

Exactly. If you're gonna be ignoring orders, I'd rather you be ignoring his.

[crazyivan]

I'm equal opportunity when it comes to ignoring orders. Especially when they come from people who aren't my superior officers, like, you know, you.

So sorry to burst your bubble, but at least Alenko has the chain of command on his side.

[forgivetheinsubordination]

And yet it wasn't him you went to for info.

Look. Not trying to pull some sort of coup. You're alliance. He's alliance. Just telling you that if you're gonna stick your neck out, don't do it without backup. Not an order. Common sense.

[crazyivan]

Common sense that you apparently think I don't have. Thanks for the vote of confidence, Vakarian.

[forgivetheinsubordination]

Because you'd be the first one of us to think you've got it under control and then have it blow up in your face.

Wait, no. We make a habit of that.

[crazyivan]

I'm just talking to the guy. Pretty sure there won't be any explosions involved.

If there are, just follow the smoke and screaming, like usual.

[forgivetheinsubordination]

[If this had been voice, Joker would have heard a chuckle.]

Yeah, yeah. I'll keep an eye out.

Later

[crazyivan]

[Look, ma, he's being good and actually checking in like you wanted.]

Status update: that was a big, fat waste of my time.

[forgivetheinsubordination]

Sorry. Bit of a surprise, though. Simon doesn't tend to be that type.

[Good boy.]

[crazyivan]

Wasn't his bag. Maybe he'll change his mind, maybe he won't. Back to the drawing board for me.

[It's only because he doesn't want to deal with the bitching.]

[forgivetheinsubordination]

Mm. Understandable. If it's a doctor you're looking for, there's Banner too. Can't really recommend anyone else yet. The other good ones I knew left.

[crazyivan]

Yeah, tell me about it.

[A lot of good people they knew were leaving.]

You can tell me more about Banner when I get back. At least give me a little good news here, though: you got the beer, right? I totally need a beer that doesn't completely suck.

[forgivetheinsubordination]

I've got beer. It's even decent. Could toss something frozen in the oven, too, if that's needed.

[crazyivan]

Keep acting like this and I'm going to start calling you Mom.

[forgivetheinsubordination]

Call me mom again and I'm going to kick your ass.
