034 - Huckleberry

[deadly_ned]

So...Alpha's gone. Left and graduated and I. I'm proud of him.

But I didn't actually know if I should continue to help run the pub because really I was only doing it because he took an interest and honestly I don't mind either way but it seems sort of lonely and sad now without him and maybe I should just go back to my kitchen but I don't...know. So if anyone else wanted it...?

Sorry. This isn't something I should be bothering the Barge about.

I guess I just need to. Wait and see.

I never realized this before but unpairing can be lonely.

Then you'll be in a perfect position to take care of the fallout. A fresh mind will be an asset.

[deadly_ned]

That's...not something I had considered.

[mightthinkthat]

It will be fine, Ned.

[deadly_ned]

Thank you for saying so. It helps.

[mightthinkthat]

I'm glad.

[deadly_ned]

Should I bring you anything back?

[mightthinkthat]

If you like. I have nothing I particularly need, however.

[deadly_ned]

What about something you particularly want? I'm better with wants than needs.

[mightthinkthat]

[He shrugs.] A decent drop of alcohol, I suppose.

[deadly_ned]

Just a drop? One tiny little drop?

[mightthinkthat]

Ah, now you're teasing me.

[deadly_ned]

Only a little bit.

Sorry. I'll stop.

[mightthinkthat]

Oh, it's fine.

[deadly_ned]

I'll bring back more than just the drop. Maybe even three drops.

[mightthinkthat]

I am humbled by your generosity.

[deadly_ned]

Thank you.

[mightthinkthat]

And thank you.
