[originallutece]

Rosalind Lutece Speaking of things more like hallucinations than reality . . .
Rosalind Lutece Although the chance to hear you sing might just be worth the rest.

[flyguy]

[originallutece]

Rosalind Lutece And cheat me out of a personal touch? Don't be absurd.
Rosalind Lutece Now I may just insist on that this June.

[flyguy]

Anthony Carter Anything I say is just going to dig this hole deeper isn't it
Anthony Carter I'll buy you a pony

[originallutece]

Rosalind Lutece I don't think there was a single point in my life where I wanted a horse of any breed or size, Tony.
Rosalind Lutece Poor effort, 3/10.

[flyguy]

Anthony Carter That's right I forgot you were playing with radiation when all the other girls were dressing barbies
Anthony Carter Fair enough. Particle accelerator

[When the bartering stage of emotions is quite literal and you're super rich]

[originallutece]

Rosalind Lutece That's unfair.
Rosalind Lutece But no, I think I'll simply demand both.

Anthony Carter I'm just saying, think of your colleagues

[originallutece]

Rosalind Lutece Of course I'm greedy. I'm also selfish. Both have gotten me quite far in this field.
Rosalind Lutece And as I do have a Tony Carter in my life, one who is very fond of me . . .
Rosalind Lutece Your argument rather falls apart, you know, as it's the singing you're objecting to, not the scientific equipment.
Rosalind Lutece But in deference to your dignity, I shan't make you agree to my demands in public.

[GUESS WHO'S GETTING A PHONE CALL]

[flyguy]

[Answering??? Somehow he doesn't envision this being for phone footsy. As hot as that'd be. Just kind of not Rosalind's thing.]

City morgue. —What's up?

[originallutece]

It's one thing for you to ask such a thing when we are out and alone, Tony, but half my class is on this stupid app, and I don't need them looking at their professor like-- like that.

[flyguy]

Correct me if I'm wrong, it has been a while since I attended, but don't you need to be a legal adult to get into university? [Completely discounting the fact here age and maturity do not go hand and hand. BUT MOVING ON:] But fair enough. Are you trying to tell me I'm embarrassing you on the internet?

[originallutece]

Whether or not they're legal adults has nothing to do with it.

[But there's a moment's pause. She hates to admit she's anything weak, much less embarrassed. And knowing Tony, she has an awful feeling admitting that won't lead to anything good. But he's precisely right, of course, she is embarrassed.]

You're not embarrassing me, I simply-- I don't want to have to field a hundred and one probing questions next Monday.

[flyguy]

About me?

[She is completely right, please tell him more about how you'd talk about him Rosalind inquiring minds want to know.]

[originallutece]

[Why are all her friends like this??]

Yes, about you, you egomaniac. About you and why on earth you think you have a right to ask me to wear anything.

[flyguy]

—Formal request. I can submit it in triplicate if paperwork is what does it for you. ...But alright. I'll tone it down. PG-13 from now on. Only wholesome mom and dad flirtations. What do you want for dinner?

[originallutece]

Thank you.

[She doesn't miss that subtle request, but one thing at a time. Truth be told, she's inclined to take it, not only because she's fond of their outings but because she wants to check up on him.]

. . . and Italian. What time?

[flyguy]

I'll be there in an hour. But let's order in; not really feeling up to the whole social scene today. Casual sounds good.

[originallutece]

Text me what you want. I'll order in half an hour; the door will be unlocked.

[flyguy]

[He will do so and in roughly an hour there will be one Tony Carter at Rosalind's place, knocking lightly on her door. For once he's not wearing a suit. Though slacks and a dress shirt with rolled up sleeves isn't exactly much of a downgrade, but hey it's as "people of Walmart" as he gets.]
