[What has two thumbs, a martini, and post-coma consciousness? This guy.] You can stop worrying, I'm back. What'd I miss?


[Sometime later, filtered to dog owners]

Hey Barge people with dogs! I need to talk to you. I'm on a mission from - well not God, I guess Coyote? - and I could use your help. For the next couple of hours I need enough dogs to fill a freaking kennel, and Kazak's big but he's not, you know, multiple animals. Plus Rogue already knows him and I need to hit her with a tidal wave of new cuteness.

And don't worry, I just wanna take them to visit her. So what do you say, guys? [It's unclear whether he's addressing the owners or the dogs themselves.] Are you in?

[She almost opens her mouth to deny it, but then stops. She doesn't lie, especially not to Archer.]

Okay, no, Ah'm not. Ah miss him. It feels stupid how much. We talked about this, it bein' casual and no strings.

Private

[codename_duchess]

[That's sweet, and... honestly a first.]

Which him? Oh, Dean? Yeah, he left, didn't he.

So what's the problem?

Private

[la_belle_rogue]

The problem is, Ah miss havin' that casual company. The connection. We... we got each other, ya know? It was easy, and fun and... Not nearly so lonely around here. Jean's the only one left from where Ah'm from, and she's from a time where she doesn't know me yet.

Private

[codename_duchess]

Yeah, I get it. Well maybe I do. Was it like a tree and cookie elves?

Private

[la_belle_rogue]

Like a what?

Private

[codename_duchess]

You know, like your mind's a tree and he's those cookie elves that live in it? That's what it was like with Lana.

Private

[la_belle_rogue]

Ah don't...know if Ah'd quite use that particular metaphor. Ah mean, he's more like a really good, easy friend. Except more'n just friends.

Private

[codename_duchess]

Isn't that what a girlfriend is? Or boyfriend, not that I'd know.

Private

[la_belle_rogue]

Ah suppose he was mah boyfriend, but it's different from what mah other relationships were like. Ah don't know how t'explain it.

Private

[codename_duchess]

"It was easy instead of intense"?

Private

[la_belle_rogue]

That's...actually pretty accurate.

[When'd you get so insightful, Sterling?]

Private

[codename_duchess]

Kind of like Pam. Except Pam's still around, I'm just not sure who she's banging now.
