Are We Good Guys?

Whistle Stop - Robin Hood

You call me whateva you wan’.

Girlfriend doesn't sound right though-- it sounds tacky, the way people use it now, and it does mean nearly enough-- and I don't know what else to call you.

Well what did you want to do? Beau? I like that. What do I call you though?

-teasingly- Stayed inside instead ah finding me? I am ‘urt. 

Well I've found you now. Did you want to do something together?

I’m afraid that’s how it works when you’re a guy. My brothers practically ate the house when they lived there. Had to be sneaky if you wanted food before they got to the table.

You'd think I'd get full at some point though. I mean, I can't be a bottomless pit, can I? You're new here, aren't you? Haven't seen you around before.

‘Ow ‘ave you been? I haven’ seen you for a few days. 

Okay. Walked around here a bit. Stayed inside mostly otherwise. How have you been Tia?

You can come ‘ere an’ give me some affection.

You sure there's nothing wrong?

No, I don’t think that’s how it works Big Boy. Eat more?

But I've already eaten like three plates. Wait-- I'm sorry, I don't think we've met. You new?

I ‘ave ‘ad a bad day is all. 

I'm sorry. Just one of those days? Can I do anything for you?

Well I wasn't sure if you meant needed or needed, so I just wanted to be sure everything was okay.

Is something wrong Tia?

Ah yeah, she didn’t exactly help things. -he chuckles awkwardly- But, no hard feelings buddy. I know Tia wouldn’t feel the way she does about you if you weren’t  a decent guy. 

Nah, not really. Thanks. Same goes for you. 

I just wanted to let you know that I’m not gonna be a problem. Tia made her choice and I respect that. -he holds out his hand to shake-

Oh. That. I-- I appreciate this. Thanks. -after a moment, he reaches out and shakes his hand- I'm sorry about all this shit with what's-her-face anyway. Her input was highly unnecessary. I just hope you know that-- I never intended for this to turn into a battle between us, if it felt like that.
