You've already stated that you have poor taste.

[This is a non-committal answer. Enjoy it Alex, relish in it.]

[Alex is clicking at something on her computer while she talks to him. You're welcome in advance, Richard.]

I did in fact admit that. Which is why I need help with Laura's party.

Can you bake?

[nobasisinfact]

Yes.

[The reply is coming awfully late for just a yes.]

[11calls]

[...that's suspicious.]

Will you please make Laura a cake?

[File Attachment: His mug full of her favorite type of coffee.]

3/3

[nobasisinfact]

What type of cake?

[Have a belated sigh from after his class was done because Alex had a meeting.]

You are such an ass, Richard Strand.

And I'll ask her. But my guess is chocolate.

I swear though...

[And then Alex is interrupted by the familiar sound of the intern's voice. "Okay, Alex I did it. But...Why would you date an asshole, and he's really old!"

And Alex is going to sound entirely deadpan, knowing he can hear her.]

Well, what can I say? The sex is really good and I like assholes so...

[One can almost hear that shrug emoji there.]

[nobasisinfact]

I thought you didn't want your interns hitting on me.

[Someone is far to old to be mortified.]

[11calls]

Well, I'm pretty sure you've already taken care of that by being your normal charming self so...

[Alex is gonna laugh softly, because she's amused as hell.]

[nobasisinfact]

I can be quite, accomidating.

[11calls]

Occasionally, I suppose.

[There may be a grin in that voice.]

[nobasisinfact]

Speaking of accomidating, you're interfearing in Jeff's love life.

[11calls]

It's not interfering if someone calls you up and asks for advice!

[Alex is mock-offended by that.]

Besides, he reminds me of me, you know.

[nobasisinfact]

Annoying and with questionable life choices?

[11calls]

Says the man who loves me anyway.

[nobasisinfact]

I question that choice every morning.

[11calls]

Bold of you to think that it's a choice, you know. No one chooses who they love. You just do it.

[Silly Richard.]

[nobasisinfact]

A historically inaccurate statement.



I thought reporters fact-checked.

[11calls]

I thought you required data-backed evidence of such things, Dr. Strand.

[Two can play at this game, Richard!]

[nobasisinfact]

Historical evidence is still evidence.

[File Attachment: A fact-based article on the historical practice of marrying for status, title and land.]

[11calls]

Marriage and love are two entirely separate factors.

[nobasisinfact]

Love is an intangible belief caused by chemecals in the brain.

[11calls]

Did you just ceed your argument to me, Dr. Strand? Because that sure doesn't sound like a choice someone makes.
