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.]

[11calls]

[Annnnnd she's just going to laugh.]

Liar.

[nobasisinfact]

[He'll try not to smirk, and never tell her how much he adores it when she laughs.]

That's a horrible insinuation.

[11calls]

Yeah, well, if the shoe fits, my love.

[And she doesn't bother to smirk. She's just going to full on grin at him.]

[nobasisinfact]

I can't recall a single argument between us which ended in sex.

[11calls]

Well, to be fair 99.8% of our arguments happened either when we weren't having sex or when we weren't having sex because of my stupid ribs. So that's probably why.

[Alex just smirks at him.]

Or because you don't want to have sex in your office.
