[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.]

[11calls]

But being loud gossipy outside your office at home, love.

[Look, she'd never let them in his office, just near it. And in the kitchen. Where he has tea.]

[nobasisinfact]

I have every ability to leave the house.

[There is no backing down. He's gone too far.]

[11calls]

You'd need to walk right through the crowd of little old ladies, Richard. Who'd want to talk to you about plants and soil and fertilizer.

[nobasisinfact]

There are, multiple doors in the house, Alex.

[He'll refrain from bursting her belief that they're all little old ladies.]

[11calls]

Are you planning on going out through your office window at the house, Richard?

[nobasisinfact]

There's a back door, Alex.

[11calls]

In the kitchen. Where the tea and cookies will be. And where inevitably people will offer to help.

[nobasisinfact]

I'm fairly certain I could avoid them.

[11calls]

Fairly certain is not entirely certain, love. And they are almost as persistent as me.

[Alex is just going to look at him in a completely amused fashion because well, there's no one as persistent as Alex.]

[nobasisinfact]

[He just raises a brow at that.]

You've never met them.

[11calls]

Nope. But I've heard stories. You forget, Richard, I've got like five days worth of news to do here, and puff pieces like stuff on them take me like five minutes.

[nobasisinfact]

And I've come in contact with them.

[11calls]

Then you should know better than to threaten me with them, don't you think?

[Alex just asks in an entirely bemused tone.]

We both cheat, remember? On things like this?

[Arguments, etc. Pulling out voices and the like.]

[nobasisinfact]

[To show an example of this, he drops his voice, just low enough to cause her issue.]

Do we, Alex?

[11calls]

[God, he's an asshole sometimes. But Alex loves him anyway, and she just plays with his tie, dropping her voice in response.]

You know, my Richard, it's too bad you're so against sex in your office. Make up sex is some of the best kind, don't you think?

[nobasisinfact]

[He raises his brows. Voice still low.]

Is it?

[11calls]

[Oh look, a brow raise in response:]

You don't think so?

[nobasisinfact]

Maybe I've never had it before.

[That's right Alex, he's totally making the claim he's never had make-up sex.]
