Well I'll keep that in mind if we're ever in the same room unless you got orders of your own.

[Ladies are more imposing than dingos, just saying. Freddy won't laugh aloud.]

What, you think I'm going to tell you to stay away from him?

☎ callback

[orangetoughguy]

No, no. I think you're the kind of lady who'd tell a couple guys to grow up. Maybe.

[He's known a girl or two who actually likes being fought over soooo...]

[as_damaged]

[It's something she's never quite made up her mind on. Certainly, it's interesting.]

You seem to have managed that on your own.

☎ callback

[orangetoughguy]

[Whoa wait was that a compliment or sarcasm? He can't make his mind up on that just yet.]

Sometimes the right kind of girl sets all that way back a good ten or so years.

☎ callback

[as_damaged]

So I've heard.

[If you figure it out, Freddy, let her know.]

In the interest of fairness-- Chase and I are more than colleagues, strictly speaking. If he hadn't mentioned.

[Leading men on has not gone well for her, after all. But that doesn't mean she doesn't feel a faint pang of disappointment.]

[orangetoughguy]

[Fairness? Maybe she wouldn't be offended by the sports metaphors after all.]

He didn't mention, nothin' real clear anyway.

[Maybe he's waiting to hear if Cameron will offer up more, but no the thought hadn't slipped his mind.]

[as_damaged]

[She would be, largely because Cameron hates sports metaphors.]

It's complicated.

[A pause. That's insufficient.]

I don't want to lead you on.

☎ callback

[orangetoughguy]

I hear you.

[Not so much disappointment on this end though he's still intrigued and maybe for all the wrong reasons.]

I don't hear that often you know? Thanks.

☎ callback

[as_damaged]

You're welcome.

[That's half reflexive and slightly perplexed. She's kind of pleased he hasn't just hung up.]

There's something to be said for being honest.

☎ callback

[orangetoughguy]

[Aw hell doesn't that come close to home? He keeps a cool, casual, even friendly tone with her. Why would he hang up? Freddy's not that kind of guy.]

Ain't that the truth? Makin' the simple complicated is pretty common, makin' the complicated simple, that's creativity.

☎ callback

[as_damaged]

More than creativity, maybe.

[There's a little ripple of somewhat embarrassed laughter in there.]

☎ callback

[orangetoughguy]

Alright alright, I won't ask. I guess I should let you go now. [From the phone, he means.] That's the gentleman thing to do ain't it?

☎ callback

[as_damaged]

I guess so. [She still sounds faintly amused, which... really, is further than a great many people get.] But... I'll talk to you some other time?

☎ callback

[orangetoughguy]

[That's the Freddy thing to do and he'd say as much were it not for his 'policy' on names.] I'll commit to that, Cameron.

[It's not quite the same as a promise, is it?]

☎ callback

[as_damaged]

All right. [What a strange, strange man.] Take care.

☎ callback

[orangetoughguy]

You too.

[He came to this world with two bullets in his torso and keeps his name a secret. Of course he's strange.]
