Let me get back to you, darling.

"Rather hear it from you so I know what to do about it," he assures them.

"Oh, darling." They place a hand on their chest. "Are you planning to pursue justice on my behalf?"

[toabsolution]

"Ain't much sense of justice around here," he grumbles softly. "But you're my responsibility, so I'm gonna make sure you're looked after."

"You are impossibly sweet, darling."

You're being draped all over again, Jake. Sorry.

Jake sighs. Such is his life apparently. He does try and pry them off with one hand.

"You don't gotta do that," he grumbles.

"I know, but you will keep hating it," they say gleefully, but then step away with a quick turn on their heel.

"Then why do you keep doin' it?"

He tries to make a face, but it's hard when he really doesn't feel it.

[oohforeshadowing]

"Because it's not my job to make your job easier. And you haven't actually asked me to stop."

And sometimes they just like being a little shit for the sake of it.

He sighs, throwing back what's left in his glass before getting up.

"Yeah, alright. You need anythin' else from me?"

He still does not ask them to stop.

[oohforeshadowing]

"No, thank you, Jake." They smile slightly. "I'll be seeing you."
