Because I'm sure she would be proud of you. And of what the people of the Barrel are achieving.

It definitely keeps the element of surprise.

Then I'm glad.
Gives me all the more reasons to stay if you think that way.

I'm sure she'll find out if she stops by again.

The Barrel requires a price. Not many are up to paying it.

I do. I think great things can be accomplished here together.

But you don't wanna sound like you're bragging.
For once.

Not many know it's well worthy.

I really like that. How you always include me in your plans. How... you think of us in the future. Even if it's mostly work.

Both she and you think I'm a better person than I am. I don't need to give ammo for her to team up with you long distance on it.

There is the best waffle place here.

Work is my life. And you're a part of that. I want you as part of it.

Or maybe both Inej and I know you're a better person but you're too stubborn to accept it.
Now you give me even more reasons to want to meet her.

See? Definitely another one of its hidden jems.
There's totally no waffles like those ones here in New York.

Good.
Because I'm not going anywhere.
We're partners in every way, Kaz.

I prefer to consider myself determined rather than stubborn.

The rest of the city makes up for it with ramen. Well. Some of it at least earns remaining in existence.

We are. ... you said partners with a twang in your head when you wrote it, didn't you?

Determined to not accept what a good person you have become.

Even those of us with horrible typos?

I so did not! I swear, you're obsessed with me being a cowgirl just because I think the term 'partners' is perfect for us.

Determined to succeed, and somehow some people think I still have a heart for it.

Typos happen. I don't hold moments of shit grammar against someone. If you need to feel better about yourself, Jesper and I once at four in the morning had a far too long conversation about the spelling and pronunciation of lasagna and liaison. Some words look wrong even when they're right.

Kate "Cowgirl" Bishop. Has a ring to it now that you called yourself it.

You talk like those things are mutually exclusive.

See? This is why I'm proud of calling you 'my boys'.
Only you guys would be both such a smart pair of drunks and totally adorable dorks at the same time.
Yeah, I said you're both good and adorable. Deal with it.

Ooooh, sharing our kinks now, are we?

Sometimes they can be.

I wasn't drunk. It still felt like a valid conversation at the time.

I certainly put little past you for turning a talk to kinks.

Not in your case.

So, you're saying you can also be an intellectual adorable dork when sober?

Oh, and here I thought you might want to see pictures of me dressed as a cowgirl...
Well, guess it was just me then.

Is it too far past the holiday to say bah humbug?

I can be a sober intellectual. I admit to nothing past that.

I always want to see pictures of you.

Yeah. Besides, you already used that card these holidays.

And that's why I need to be here, to point that the stuff you won't admit.

[It's not long before Kaz gets a series of pictures.]

I'll save it to use again in July, then.

I suppose I will admit to the nerd part.

You're spoiling me.

You'll have to put up again with carols in July then.

And that nerdy side of you is cute.
Like when Kruge tries to be scary and does that spitting angry noise.

You've earned it.

And Muppets?

I trust you tell her she's exceedingly terrifying when she tries to be.

So have you. ... to receive pictures, I mean. Not to you sending them. That would be weird.
