Kind of forward for a first date, I know, but do any of you have access to tech that can give a guy a clean brain scan? Looking for foreign organics, not the chip.

And has anyone tested the limits of the empathy bond? If not, consider this recruitment for some extreme handholding. Also forward, but I promise I'll buy you a drink as soon as I get my allowance.

Are you that popular on the hand-holding circuit?

What, you wouldn't hold my hand, Leopold?

[reneger]

leopold?
not leonard?

[selfimage]

Depending on where this goes.

[reneger]

what an old man

[retravel]

Of course you're friends.

[ HE MEANS THAT!!! SCATHINGLY!! ]

[selfimage]

Perhaps we're just two bystanders that happen to have the same point of reference.

[ they're not friends at all, Fitz. ]

[retravel]

Perhaps you two bystanders ought to enjoy your shared points of reference without involving me.

[ nevermind that he started this. ]

I'd never leave you out of the fun.

Lucky me.

The second time we spoke, you said you might be plotting something.
What part of that makes hand-holding an advisable decision.

[selfimage]

You're assuming an awful lot.
There's the scheme and there's improvising.

[retravel]

Right.
Guess we'll wait and see how our next lunch date goes, then.

[selfimage]

Are you already penciling me in, Leopold?

[retravel]

[ is there a relationship status for irritated but interested ]

I did say I'd get the next round.

[selfimage]

I'll hold you to that.
