Archie's got a booth. And a scotch. He's sitting in the booth, he's just staring at the scotch.

*Tim rolls his eyes.*

She was protective of her man being absued and he's upset? Good lord, what are people thinking these days?

Archie pinches the bridge of his nose, leaning his elbow on the table.

"It's... complicated..."

No, really?

"I'm not sure how to make things right with any of them."

I'm not sure there is anything you can do Archie.

*Tim leans forward.*

Obviously, this fellow has some very obvious preconcieved notions that he doesn't seem likely to change. As an outside view, I can safely say you have done nothing wrong.

"He certainly has those. But he is a good man, and I feel terribly guilty to have been the one to cause this rift between them."

He shakes his head and gives Tim a rueful little smile.

"But I thank you, Tim. I think I needed someone to say that in so many words."

No problem Archie.

*He winks.*

On job or no, I'm here for you.

[prone-to-panic.livejournal.com]

Archie's smile is more genuine this time.

"Again, thank you. It means a lot to me."

*Tim nods, glancing up.*

Ah, scuse me Archie. I'll talk with you later.

[prone-to-panic.livejournal.com]

He nods.

"Any time, Tim."
