It's fine. I have days off. [ It's really not as big a deal as you make it out to be, Stark :| ]

[fe_male]

[ But he's so good at it. ] There's a world's worth of difference psychologically between a 'day off' and a 'vacation'.

[theagent]

And yet, I'm perfectly sane.

[fe_male]

Yeah-huh. Or a very good faker.

[theagent]

[ It doesn't make a difference so long as she's doing her job, really. ] I'd have to be really good to pass muster.

[fe_male]

[ Who's muster. ] Hence the 'very', so... Are you saying you don't want a vacation?

[theagent]

[ SHIELD psychologists, obviously. ] I'm too busy for a vacation.

[fe_male]

That's the point of a vacation. I thought I was the one who didn't understand how work worked.

[theagent]

You probably don't.

[fe_male]

Well apparently neither do you, so you can come play on my team. Speaking of that, how's that guy? Still here?

[theagent]

I have a pretty solid work ethic. [ Sneaking a look over his shoulder. ] I think he's actually waiting for me.

[fe_male]

Persistent little asswipe. Him, not you. You're just persistent. Which is a good thing. Most people know better than to wait for me to finish with things.

[theagent]

I appreciate your help. [ In getting away from the persistent little asswipe. ]

[fe_male]

I'm a superhero - helping in all the little ways here and there. No cause too small and all, you know. Speaking of that, how annoying is he?

[theagent]

Far more annoying than you are. [ With a smile. ] Believe me, that's saying something.

[fe_male]

[ He smiles back, because that's almost a compliment. ] If you want, you know, something could happen to his car the next time there's a battle in the city or something. Or his stock, something like that. Nothing big.

[theagent]

I appreciate the offer, but no. Really, no.

[fe_male]

You sure? Really, it's no trouble. Actually it's usually more trouble not to hit the cars. Or use them to hit other people.

[theagent]

You do realise that there's talk of holding the Avengers financially accountable for all property damage caused, right?

[fe_male]

I hope there's at least talk of also itemizing that responsibility, because I'm not paying for all the things Clint breaks - and that's just around the house.

[theagent]

Do I even want to know?

[fe_male]

Tell you what, he's a SHIELD agent, I'll send you a copy of the list at the end of the month and you can reserve judgement until then.

[theagent]

Will the list come with all the reports you still owe me?

[fe_male]

[ Ooh. ] Doubt it. Although I think... one of them may be finished already and I just forgot to send it over. [ He's either serious or being-- well, no it's probably mildly annoying either way. ]

[theagent]

I'm not sure whether that's better or worse than not doing them, really.

[ Definitely mildly annoying. ]
