Mike doesn't bound down the stairs today. No, instead he sedately wanders down with a rather large covered basket under his arm. It looks something like a sewing basket. He takes a seat at an out of the way table, and begins to unpack various and sundry sewing supplies.

"To be fair, the person ended up not being involved in the death we were investigating. Threw it at me as she was running away. But god, I had never had to fend off so many dogs in my life."

"Awwww." She pats his arm consolingly. "Your time will come. With your charm and smile, how can it not?"

She nods. "True enough. After 12 or 14 hours, you barely notice that the guy you're working on has been down a mineshaft for two years."

"I'd hardly call that fair. There are some levels that even I won't stoop to. That's just wrong."

He bats his eyes, sighs dramatically, and then rests his head on her shoulder.

"Well, it beats the time I was held hostage. Then again, that's when I learned to dislocate two arms at the same time." She grins. "I never catch a break."

She pats his head consolingly. "Someday, you'll look back on this and know I was right. Or be laughing your ass of at me. One or the other."

"Yeah, that doesn't sound like a fun way to spend a Friday night. I should know, I'm pretty sure I've had the same Friday night."

"Why do the pretty ones always have to be human"

[lvpd_sidle]

"Mmmm...well, it was also worth the expression on Brass and Grissom's faces when I came out of there dragging the guy, him cussing a mile a minute and me snarking right back at him. Brass is still afraid of me."

"Finally, someone calls me the pretty one. And I don't know--maybe you could hook up with a shape-shifter?"

[mnt_mike]

"Okay, maybe you're too close to family to marry my brother. I officially adopt you as my honorary sister. New name forthcoming. Have to keep the tradition alive."

"I don't think shapeshifter would cut it. Turtles are sort of...species specific. Oh what a cruel fate."

Can't you feel the drama and angst?

[lvpd_sidle]

"A new brother. Wow. Another one to add to the collection. You and Nicky would get along well. And if I don't like my new name, I won't answer to it." She resists the urge to stick out her tongue.

"Can't help you there, I'm afraid. Unless you find a way to turn into another species."

Oh yes, the angst just drips down. Poor, poor Mikey. She pecks his cheek consolingly.

It works every time. Lay on the pout, and women just melt. What can he say? He's just that good.
