[He sounds a little bit more like himself. A nerdy, fast lift to his voice that wasn't there before. Not Riddler in any sense of the word, but Eddie at least.]

I've seen pajamas. I wear almost exclusively pajamas. Old sweatpants that look like they've seen a man shot in Saigon do not a pj make. [Fake seriously.] I've tried to make you wear the green henchgirl outfit before and you refused.

	Then next time I just won't pack any pajamas at all then. I'll have to borrow yours. [An overdramatic huff.] I'm not wearing Query or Echo's hand-me-downs. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't think we're far enough along in our relationship for that. I take my PJ's very seriously. [Siiiigghh.] Fine, I won't make you wear the fishnets. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: steph/eddie. blondebat 2013-02-20 07:34 am UTC (link)
	Oh, damn. I gues I just won't wear anything then. [Biting back a smile.] I think I look better in the all-black anyway. [Hum.] I thiiiink Siobhan might have some fishnets in here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: steph/eddie. riddlethem 2013-02-20 07:41 am UTC (link)
	Oh no, what am I going to do. [Intrigued.] All black with fishnets seems like a healthy compromise. Maybe a little too Canary, but I can overlook it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: steph/eddie. blondebat 2013-02-20 07:56 am UTC (link)
	[Quiet, throaty laugh.] Canary has lots of studs and leather. I think I can manage to make it a little different. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: steph/eddie. riddlethem 2013-02-20 08:15 am UTC (link)
	The less leather and studs the better. The less anything but you the better. [Happy pause. A little hesitantly.] I want to cash in my Stephanie Brown time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Brightly.] Do you have enough chips for that, Eddie Nashton? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Just baarrreeelly. The trick to gambling is knowing when to fold. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: steph/eddie. blondebat 2013-02-20 08:27 am UTC (link)
	You'll have to teach me how to gamble better. [Smile.] Where? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: steph/eddie. riddlethem 2013-02-20 08:38 am UTC (link)
	Teaching anyone anything at this point is one of the only things keeping me sane. [Hum.] Not here. The girls are busy with the tv. I can sneak out? Get us a different room? It'll be remarkably sleazy and romantic in one go. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: steph/eddie. blondebat 2013-02-20 08:49 am UTC (link)
	[Thoughtful pause.] Yeah, that works. Or you could come over here? Siobhan's place--room is pretty nice. And, she's got plenty of things that aren't green henchgirl outfits. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: steph/eddie. riddlethem 2013-02-20 08:58 am UTC (link)
	[Dramatic sigh.] I suppose I could live without bright green swimsuits and question marks across them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: steph/eddie. blondebat 2013-02-20 09:48 am UTC (link)
	Maybe one day you can convince me. Or get me drunk enough to not even care. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: call: steph/eddie. riddlethem 2013-02-20 09:55 am UTC (link)
	I don't think I could ever get you that drunk. We'll start at PJs and work our way up. [Smile and it sounds like he's going to hang up soon. Then, suddenly.] Thank you, Steph. I spent all day worrying about everyone else while feeling completely helpless and here you are keeping me from falling apart. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She laughs at that, and then a warm smile crawls up her lips.] Of course, honey. That's what girlfriends are for, right? You can worry about everyone else, and I get to worry about you. That's how it works. I get to keep you together. [She sends the coordinates for Siobhan's hotel and the room number. Then, with warm huskiness:] Come find me. I'll be waiting in that ratty t-shirt you love so much. Or maybe nothing at all.

	I love a good mystery. [A familiar geeky kind of growl before he hangs up.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
