I have had thoughts of trying a new means of employment, of trying a new career since a place like this is full of new opportunities and starts. Except I really cannot fathom being anything other than a lawyer.
Now, I don't want to deprive myself of business but you're free to ask one question on legal matters.

[What can he really say? She is from a really different world.]
Are you alive right now though?
[And this Slaying stuff is still settling in.]
...I'm older than you. Much older. Great-grandpa.
[Ten plus some years on her twenty. Kids these days. He laughs a little.]
I'll have to think it all over a bit more. You've inspired me.
[And variety is the spice of life.]
All of that just sounds awful. I don't want drugs in my food or drink any more than necessary.
no subject
[ Honestly, he was asking for it with a nickname like that. And she was definitely kidding about Slayer years. ]
I think so? I mean, you're talking to me. There's been no signs of feeling undead. It's like nothing really happened.
[ She may have snorted out a laugh. Just slightly. ]
You don't sound like a great-grandpa if that helps? And I know you think I'm being silly, but seriously. I feel old next to her. It's rude.
[ And she says that knowing she's dating a guy close to Matt's age if not the same. ]
It's what I do. I come and inspire and then I disappear.
[ He couldn't see the way her nose scrunched up but there was a definite note of disapproval in her voice. ]
Right? I mean, I was dumb enough to sign up for a test but it's all part of the try something new and different motto I got going on right now. Anyway, not even the worst part. The worst part happened at The Deviant when Vasquez found me on the dance floor.

[At least they don't ever talk back. What on earth is this conversation?]
Thirty isn't what it used to be. Maybe twenty is the same.
[That's his version of giving her the benefit of the doubt.]
...Dare I ask what happened next from there?
no subject
[ It's way too normal for where she's from. ]
Isn't there some saying about only being as young as you feel?
[ She appreciates it. Really. ]
Probably not. The drink just made me really, really enthusiastic about being close to another person.
[ And that's as much detail as she's going to get into. She's still embarrassed about it, and not just because Vasquez is the kind of guy that likes his modesty when it comes to clothing. ]
no subject
[In case there is something aside from what he knows. She is definitely a special lady.]
Okay, okay.
[Matt laughs and it takes a minute to get with it.]
Has it compromised your prospects or this will be great when you can look back and laugh at it?
no subject
[ It was the only answer she had. As far as she was concerned she seemed to be whole and complete in this place. ]
Happy to keep reminding you. I'll add it to the list with the yelling.
[ She laughed herself, glad to have the opportunity to joke around with someone.
And then it faded and she just let out a sigh. ]
I thought it had, but not so much. I think I might still need some more time before being able to laugh about it. He still went with me to that ball. Everything seems pretty peachy. I'm glad I managed not to put my foot in it. That he saw past the, ah, not quite me moment.
no subject
[To put it plainly. While she has seemed to be very unique person can it be true? Always about the questions, Murdock.]
We all have "not quite me" moments as you put it. I'm glad that he seems to have sense there. And largely does he treat you well? Even in his own handful of moments?
no subject
[ Hey, at least he picked someone who liked to talk. She was still wrapping her head around it all but there was no denying that the first Slayer had it a lot rougher. ]
Well, we're only really just getting started, but yeah. He does. I mean, there's the language thing. The whole different eras... Clothing is still a hurdle but it's kinda endearing.
