Anyone up for a good run?

I'm looking for one - either form is fine. Just, the crisp fall air, makes me want to be out in it!

"Of course you are," she said, with an eye roll. "And see that they aren't. Medea could do wonders for your suits."

"And yes, bring on the Brad!"

He took hold of the remote and pushed play with a flourish.

"Medea will find herself on a short leash if I catch her in my closet. Even the ducklings know better than to mess with a man's fashion cache."

"You love her and you know it," Mercy said with a smile. "You'd never blame her for something you knew had to be my fault."

[justashow.livejournal.com]

Kyle raised an eyebrow at her and said, "So it will be you I need to put on a short leash, then?"

Mercy laughed and stole another handful of popcorn. "You could try."

[justashow.livejournal.com]

"I've experience," Kyle teased back, tossing a popcorn piece in the air and catching it neatly between his teeth.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

"I suppose you have," Mercy admitted. "And you've undoubtedly learned a thing or two from Warren."

[justashow.livejournal.com]

The name stabbed at him and he faltered, guilt and shame roiling his stomach so that swallowing the popcorn was more difficult than it should have been. Kyle shrugged and turned his face towards the screen.

"Maybe a little."

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

"Kyle?" Mercy wasn't sure what happened to make him suddenly smell... she couldn't quite put her finger on it in human form. "Are you - is everything okay?"

[justashow.livejournal.com]

"Of course." He smiled through the sick feeling, and waved a hand towards the television.

"Who is hotter, do you think? Orlando or Brad?"

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

"In this... probably Brad," Mercy said thoughtfully. "But I do have to admit Orlando as Legolas does things for me."

[ooc: And I must to bed! More tomorrow!]

[justashow.livejournal.com]

"A thing for blonds?"

[ooc: Goodnight!]

"Or Tolkien's elves, maybe," she said with a grin. "But yeah, I have to admit there's something about that long silver blonde hair..."

[justashow.livejournal.com]

"Too pretty," Kyle said with a wave of a popcorn-filled hand. "I don't want my guy to be prettier than me. If that's at all possible, which it isn't."

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

"I just don't like to be bigger than my guys," Mercy said with a grin. "Prettier's fine. As long as there's more to them than the pretty."

[justashow.livejournal.com]

"But if they come with brains attached then they might start thinking and that's always messy."

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

"No, no, I want a man with brains," Mercy protested. "I have no need for a big goodlooking paperweight, thank you very much!"

[justashow.livejournal.com]

"I can think of other uses," Kyle said.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

"Kyle... I haven't had sex for ten years now," Mercy said with a hint of a smile. "Do you think if a bug dumb paperweight was enough for me that that would be true?"

[justashow.livejournal.com]

"You've had other things to think about." There wasn't really a hint of a smile on Kyle's face, but then, he was watching the screen.

Brad Pitt was sticking a sword through someone's stomach.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

"Oh, that's attractive," Mercy said with a shudder.

[justashow.livejournal.com]

"Blood doesn't really spurt like that," Kyle noted absently.

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

She raised an eyebrow at him. "I know that, but I wouldn't have thought you would."

[justashow.livejournal.com]

"I've been here a long time," Kyle murmured, remembering the Coliseum and a full day of watching people fight and die and how he wasn't allowed to look away. He'd told Jack about it, once.

"You see things."

[coyote-walking.livejournal.com]

She shivered. "I'm sorry. That sounds horrible."
