5 Howls: Homesick

[coyote_walking]

Somebody told me to give it a week or two and then I'd really be homesick. Boy, were they right.

I miss working at my garage and I miss my single-wide and I miss Medea - damn I miss my cat.

I even miss Samuel and Adam getting at each other and that shows sheer desperation.

Anyone want to distract a girl? Tell me a good place to go or something I should see or visit? Watch a movie with me?

I can't win, can I? Every single person I care about likes to go skulking about hunting down danger in the dark.

Fine, fine, I've learned my lesson about trying to stop anyone.

I have the time if you do.

Wait, wait, what do you mean, Kyle?

I... look... if it means that much to you I'll tell him to forget it. I can... keep filling in at Lux till I find a real job.

I pretty much have nothing but time.

It's dangerous, Mercy. I almost died following Ianto down once.

I don't want you to give up anything you really want to do, but I do want you to understand what you're getting into. Who is this Jamie person and what, exactly, does he want you to do?

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

They do investigation work - maybe in the office, maybe in the field. He seems like a nice enough guy, very experienced in the field. But, you know I don't know him any better than I know anyone else here.

[justashow.livejournal.com]

If he's sending you Underground, it's because he wants to see how you do in the field.

I don't know him, myself. I don't know if anyone I do know is more familiar.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Like I said. I'll tell him to forget it if you want me to.

You don't need to worry about me, too.

[justashow.livejournal.com]

Mercy. If I were Adam or Samuel absolutely forbidding you to take this job you would be doing it to spite me.

I said I learned my lesson, and I have. I just want you to be careful, whatever you do.

And I'll worry regardless.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

See, now if you'd just say, 'Mercy, you may NOT take that job, I absolutely forbid it!' I wouldn't think twice.

Tell me you worry, but I can do what I want and I'm lost.

Look, I'll be very careful and I'll learn more about what he'd expect of me and go from there, okay?

Even if I'm working at Lux?

[justashow.livejournal.com]

That's why I'm the lawyer who makes the big bucks. Confusing passive aggressive language.

Okay. And I'll conduct my own investigations into the actual...company, I suppose?

Even if you were pouring coffee at the local Starbucks.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

It's called x-factor investigations.

Aw... Kyle... you're sweet.

[justashow.livejournal.com]

I am selfishly invested in your welfare.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Yeah, ditto.

If Robin tries to get fresh with you tonight, tell him I will cut off his tab and then his favorite body part.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

I don't think he will, but I'll be sure to tell him if he does.

[justashow.livejournal.com]

I don't think he will either. If only because he knows I mean it about the tab.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

He's been surprisingly good about sticking within my limits.

[justashow.livejournal.com]

Well Niko's out of the hospital now, so he's more within glaring limits.

You should meet Niko when you get the chance.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

I'd like that. He's someone you think highly of, so...

[justashow.livejournal.com]

Very highly. I trust Niko almost as much as I trust Jack and Ianto.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

Wow. Then I'd definitely like to meet him.
