[He caught that insinuation.]

Simon?

[Doubtful, but it would either be Simon or Stan.]

[11calls]

Possibly. I mean we can ask him.

[A beat.]

Should we pick up cat food now? And like litter and all the stuff that goes with cats?

[nobasisinfact]

I suppose so.

[He frowns, another animal in the house. How annoying.]

[11calls]

[Alex just laughs and shakes her head before she buries it into his chest.]

We just keep collecting things, don't we?

[nobasisinfact]

I blame you.

[He wraps his arms around her, holding her close.]

[11calls]

Hey, you can blame me for a lot of things, but a cat definitely isn't one of them.

[She just looked up at him with a smile.]

Besides, you like Apo. So I'm getting bonus points for that even if you keep bribing him for his love.

[nobasisinfact]

I haven't bribed him once.

[11calls]

[Alex just gives him her best 'I am so on to you' look.]

Oh, your clumsiness only comes out in the kitchen when he's around, huh?

[nobasisinfact]

He's very good at jumping onto the counters.

[11calls]

He's getting too fat to jump on counters. He's going on a diet otherwise he's going to start rolling places.

[Why ya lying, Richard?]

[nobasisinfact]

Perhaps you should feed him better food.

[Not that the dog isn't spoiled by Richard already.]

[11calls]

I'm pretty sure he eats better than I do when left to my own devices.

[Alex, you eat coffee, pastries and easy mac. It's not hard to do that.]

[nobasisinfact]

A cockroach eats better than you do when left on your own.

[How she managed to live this long is a miracle. If those existed.]

[11calls]

Hey, that's not true. I eat at least on the level of like... A Kindergartener. At the very least!

[She uses Seamless, Richard. She has meals sometimes.]

[nobasisinfact]

A kindergartner left alone for long periods of time.

[11calls]

Hey, I order food too. Like sushi or pizza or Italian. It's not cooking but I do try to eat at least one real meal a day back home.

[Even if lately it had been at his house when she showed up to debrief him on the day's weirdness..]

[nobasisinfact]

[He crosses his arms over his chest, smirking slightly.]

You should learn to cook.

[11calls]

Weren't you the one who banned me from the kitchen after I burnt toast three days in a row?

[Yep, there goes that brow.]

[nobasisinfact]

[She gets a brow back. Two can play at the brow game.]

I said you should learn to cook, not learn to cook in my father's house.

[11calls]

Oh? I thought it was our house now, my love.

[She sounds amused as hell.]

So where are you proposing to teach me to cook?

[nobasisinfact]

[He's still not used to calling it their house. At the question, however, the other brow raises.]

When do you want out relationship to end?

[Teaching her to cook would 100% end in a fight.]

[11calls]

[Alex just bumps him with her arm.]

Well, I guess I'll leave the cooking in your capable hands. Maybe they have Chopped here!

[nobasisinfact]

[He rolled his eyes in feigned annoyance. She really had to bring up that stupid show and all the annoying requests for his appearance when the podcast first began. It was the closest to being a celebrity that he never wanted to be.]

Hopefully not. And if you attempt to find one I'll tell the horticulture club you're interested in hearing about soil.

[11calls]

You know I'd just bring them here for meetings, right?

[Because two could play at that game, Richard.]

[nobasisinfact]

Unauthorised personnel isn't allowed in my office.

[The rules are on his side and he knows it.]
