Okay, sure. I'll bring you some damn flowers.

[2804]

Make them flowers that you've never brought me before.

[beatsfor]

Never?

Okay. Challenge accepted.

[2804]

Excellent. Nothing ugly.

[beatsfor]

None of my flowers are ugly.

[2804]

I've seen some ugly flowers before.

[beatsfor]

From me?

[2804]

( okay, fine. )

No, not from you.

[beatsfor]

Good answer.

[It was going to be a bunch of grocery store carnations, if she had said yes.]

[2804]

You know your flowers, I will give you that. And you know which ones I like.

[beatsfor]

I'm pretty good at knowing what you like, yes.

[2804]

Pretty good. Always room for improvement.

[beatsfor]

You want to give me a performance review?

[2804]

I should. Get out my red pen and paper and grade you.

[beatsfor]

Ohhh. Yes, you should. Dress the part, too.

[2804]

Dress the part?

Short skirt, jacket, glasse? Is that what teachers wear?

[beatsfor]

Short, tight skirt. Hair up in a bun. Vest, maybe, some teachers wear those... jacket with the elbow patches?

I trust you to hit the important bits easily.

[2804]

And if I give you a failing grade, do I get to punish Death herself?

[beatsfor]

Actions have to have consequences, don't they?

[A rule she barely ever lives (heh) by, but it works for her here.]

[2804]

Well, now I have to think an appropriate punishment for you.

[beatsfor]

Feel free to make it an inappropriate punishment, if you'd rather.

[2804]

Oooh.

Looking for something new?

[beatsfor]

Not that I don't still love all of our old standbys, classics are classic for a reason, but sometimes a little change can be interesting.

[2804]

Okay, that's understandable. Hard to find something you might not have done but I think I can do it.

[beatsfor]

If anyone can, it'll be you.
