Ya ain’t proved it to me, babe.  Because I ain’t got no fuckin’ reason not to.  It suppresses shit I ain’t wanna think about.

Well I’ve proven it to me and as I’m the one drinking it, that’s the proof that counts. Well we’re a pair, aren’t we? I happen to think that’s the very best reason to drink, unfettered, unhindered, and just because you can.

Clearly,

Can’t say I blame them. I’m sure it works quite lovely on you

Just about everything looks lovely on me, darling, it’s a gift, but that outfit in particular is going to appear only in the administrators imaginations, I’m afraid.

Alfie chuckled. Coach Aleksi would never be mistaken for a chef. “No. Fencing actually.” He cringed ever so slightly. It was usually the small ways in which your life changed after huge events that caught you by surprise. Like not having a kitchen. “Ah, well you might be in luck. I have a kitchen. It doesn’t get used for much more than cooking frozen pizza or heating formula. If you’d like you’re welcome to come cook anytime.” Lydia suited the young woman as well. Proper, intelligent, but not stuffy. 

“Fencing? That’s utterly fascinating. Were you good?” She lit up with a genuine smile at his offer. “I have to warn you, my offer to cook doesn’t equal any particular talent. I have a few things I can do particularly well, and I can follow a recipe, but don’t expect any culinary masterpieces. Mary let me help in the kitchen but that was an awfully long time ago and I’m afraid I didn’t pick up any of her talent.”

Clearly,

What were you punished for?

I’m not especially fond of demos.

The worst bit is

I’ve always liked to tell it how it is. I didn’t mean to offend or anything. Wine is always a good cure all if you ask me.

It would take more than honesty to offend me, darling, if anything it’s refreshing. Isn’t it just? Not nearly enough people share that point of view.

Clearly,

Kinky shits, aren’t they?

The absolute kinkiest. Which is just fine, to each her own, but I’d rather be left out of it.

If you wanted a pep talk, you’ve come to the wrong person.

I wasn’t asking, darling, merely expecting.

Precisely. Que sera, sera. Why must people feel the need to get in another person’s business? I will never understand, honestly.

Control, if I had to guess. When so much of our agency is taken away, I think some people try to take it back wherever they can. 

Clearly,

Rude. Stealing my outfit from demos.

Just imagine if I’d warn it for a demo, what a fashion mishap that would have been!

Clearly,

Well then, what one would it be?

Well I can’t say that I have one picked out, but at the least it would be a high quality silk.

Very rare occasions, hmn?

The most rare. There are some things that are just so fundamentally wrong that a little bit of shame is in good order, but as long as no one is being hurt against their will then I believe in live and let live.

The worst bit is

TL: Yeah? I might have to do that.

TL: Anytime darling!

Clearly,

…If you’re gonna wear a sexy French Maid’s uniform, wouldn’t have been easier to just do the demo in the first place? Because you could have been a French maid without any of the actual work?

If I were going to actually wear a French maid’s uniform, it certainly wouldn’t be that one. Honestly, I think that’s polyester. It was a joke, darling.

Understandable. Sometimes dealing with people isn’t worth it.

Now don’t do that! You’re supposed to tell me to stop being lazy and unsociable and to do my drinking publicly.

Yeah ya got your thanks, babe.  I got some offers for some real alcohol and that’ll hold til I get mine in.  Why ya drinkin’ so damn much?

“Real acohol” Honestly darling, I’ve proven thoroughly that wine does a lovely job at getting you very, very drunk. Because I have absolutely no reason not to. Why are you searching out alcohol?
