Dancing with the devil

[Greggory Lennox]

Back in town.
What's the work load looking like?

Blue

[Kenneth Branagh]

Hey welcome back.
Work load is nil for me. I was injured in a raid, have to rest up and heal. Jem and the others are planning their next moves so we're all laying low for a while.

Did the job upstate go well?

[Greggory Lennox]

Not good. Didn't have enough manpower. Left them alone for now.

Since you're already laying low: do you want to meet my partner?

[Kenneth Branagh]

Damn. You needed more than a rookie for a job like that.
Glad you're okay though.

I thought I already met him. It's the nervous one I met at the bus depot, isn't it?

[Greggory Lennox]

Yes.
He wants to meet you properly.
In his words "a double date."

[Kenneth Branagh]

I'm sorry, you're saying that he's your
Lover? You two are romantically involved?

[Greggory Lennox]

.............

Yes.

[Kenneth Branagh]

Ah

He seemed
Nice

Why does he want to double date with... me? We only met briefly

[Greggory Lennox]

Exactly what I want to know.

He wants to meet some of the others.
I guess you left an impression.

[Kenneth Branagh]

This is
highly unusual, if you don't mind my saying.

I've never actually had a double date...

[Greggory Lennox]

I know.
He's changed me.

And I haven't either.
Seems we're on equal footing.

[Kenneth Branagh]

Has he? You know, I thought there was something different about you.
I was watching you guys as you got off your bus. You seemed happy.

I suppose it wouldn't hurt. It's not as if I can do anything with this arm out of commission, and Niall's been dying to get out of the flat.

Oh
Niall is
my partner.

[Greggory Lennox]

I am. Happier than I've ever been.

A rookie?

[Kenneth Branagh]

Wow. Those are strong words coming from Greggory Lennox.
I'm happy for you. I hope you two form a strong union and a strong team.

No, Niall isn't a hunter. He's my partner in life, I suppose you could say. I'm staying with him right now.

[Greggory Lennox]

I like to think we have.

He's the one you're bringing to the date, right?
