How would you feel about a honeymoon in Brazil?
I've heard it's gorgeous, and you can speak the language, right? We could find something on the water.
Random thoughts, or did something prompt this?
I got a call a little while ago about my not-so little problem in Brazil. From this German guy named Breithart. They want me to testify against Monterero in a trial.
Damn, forgot to even ask why he's on trial. I am not very good at this vetting thing. I should probably make a list.
Holy shit, really?
Want me to do some digging? There may be something online about either person
Really. On Monterero, that would be great. On Breithart, it might be a bit easier to find something. He said his partner is the healer they brought in to tide the department over while you're out. I'll ask around here.
I'll see what I can find. What kind of timeline are we talking about, or do you know?
Why is this starting to feel a little less like a honeymoon and more like a business trip? 😉
Very short timeframe, unfortunately. Right now he wants me down there next week to be prepped by the prosecution.
This IS more like a business trip. It's the AFTER that's a honeymoon. Your lawyer keeps saying you'll hear back any day. I fully expect you may be back to work next week.
Merlin, I should never have gone to Brazil in the first place. I'm sorry things are so mucked up.
Hey, don't be. My past isn't all roses either.
Granted, I don't have a Brazilian crime lord after my head...
KIDDING
Don't hex me.
I would never. I like you with all your bits intact.
😘
Also, I'm in love with your optimism, re: the Decision. I wish I could borrow some.
That's my job, love. And hopefully it's yours to find some magical way to get back to work and then immediately take time off so I can keep you in bed for a full week straight except for the occasional walk on the beach.
Suspensions don't affect vacation time accrual. Nor do leaves of absence. I might have checked. Good lord, when Zarya gets here, I'm doing paternity leave too. I think I'm only working half the year at this point?
oops
Guess it's a good thing they've brought in my mysterious fairy godfather's partner then, yeah?
We should talk once I get home.
Merlin, that sounds ominous. Maybe it is, I don't know.
He said they'll probably try dragging skeletons out of my closet. I want to make sure there's nothing that will surprise you. I think you know the worst of it already, but....yeah.
Makes sense, if you're talking about a trial. Sucks, but it makes sense.
And nothing you tell me will change my feelings
I know.
Better get back to these budgets now so I can get back home to you faster.
And I'd better get back to packing.
Hey, one last thing
I love you.
I love you, too.
PS - I WILL find that uniform tonight. Don't think I won't know if you try to pack it up before I get back. 😉
I have no idea to what you are referring. 😐
Sure you don't.
Okay, back to work. Love you.
Love you too.
(it still fits, btw)
Nnnnnggggg. So many plans Mr. Strand-Weissman. SO MANY.
