Well, I took the leap and stepped through the door. All I can say is... Shit.

Good or bad?

That would depend on your outlook.

Okay.... what about your outlook?

Mine would be... I'm in trouble, but I like it.

Well sounds like it’s the fun kind of trouble then.

If I could shut my brain up it would be. It has promise to be a lot of fun.

Hmmm. You are very cryptic.

Do you want help to shut your brain up?

Am I really or are you being sarcastic? Some bad wiring has made it hard for me to tell.

You're not too busy in Vegas?

What? No, I really am that thick.

For you? Never!

You're not thick, I'm being kind of a coward.

I don't want to take you away from something fun, for something mildly complicated.

I’m confused. What are you afraid of?

Only mildly complicated? I’m sure I shall survive.

Keep in mind, when I say this, that I don't want to quit what's going on between us. I'm afraid you'll go away. It hurt, when Ty vanished, but I got over it, it took a little bit but I did. It damn near killed me when Jr vanished. I can't tell you how many times I looked down the barrel And I think, if it's possible, I like you more.

The door is to Queens Crawly. Not the house. But a specific grove of trees.

If you'd rather run into the surrounding Nevada Desert I'll understand.

You like the old house that much, huh?

Why would any of this make me think you want to quit?

Wait - you think you like me more?! Me??

Apparently. Especially that grove of trees. I remember a particular growl, and maybe the feel of bark against my back...

All the baggage you didn't sign up for.

And that. That's... yeah.

I don’t think you can blame me. The sight of you chopping firewood would have any man growling.

Come now, you were nothing but upfront about the baggage. I have plenty of my own for you too.

Mmhmm.

[Shep]
I might like you quite an alarming amount, too. In case you doubt it.

And here I thought it was the borrowed trousers.

Not all of it, just the relationship part. But the rest is far away, and not that heavy. Or not that heavy anymore. And yours is an easy carry.

Should I send someone out with water?

[Rawdon]

I might question your sanity later. But... I'm glad you do.

[info]cpt_crawley

That might have had a part to play, I confess it.

Well, I thought we were only really dealing with the relationship part of it in this conversation, but okay, I grant you. But even so, it is no hardship.

To cool me off?

[Shep]
We're nuts together, will that do?

I might have to borrow those trousers more often. And do a bit more manual labor.

It's not relationship baggage that wakes me up in the middle of the night. It stuff that's harder to talk about.

Oh, so you did run off into the desert anyway?

[Rawdon]

I wouldn't want go nuts with anyone else.

Feel free, any time at all.

Yeah, well. That's the military for you. You talk when you want, or when it helps. Don't worry about doing it to satisfy any morbid curiosity of mine.

No, no, not that kind of hot an bothered.

[Shep]

You old romantic.

Maybe sans undershirt and just straps next time?

You're too good to me, and for me. But I wouldn't throw you back. Not for all the money in the universe.

Aaah. Well, if you need cooled off...

[Rawdon]

What can I say? You make me sappy, but I don't mind even a little bit.

What did you break?

I didn't break anything but myself. It's all your fault.

You went through the door and... sparred with me?

No, that would be weird. Your adorkably romantic door had me wigging myself out.

Maybe. I'm sorry it wasn't to see JR, Sookie. You know I would have grabbed all you Sullys in a heartbeat. But I don't think that's where my heart is anymore.

You don't have to be sorry. There's nothing stopping us from going through the door. I think Tommy might already be in the island past.

I hope so. And I hope your Mother and Father are both there, with the rest of your brothers and sisters.
