That was a little backhanded, but I'll take it.

[It's okay James most of his love interests apparently lasted for all of one date because DC is allergic to showing a gay man in a relationship.]

[airshow]

[ Well, Surprise Teen Dad Club thinks you're doing fine. ]

All my best compliments are backhanded.

[countdone]

More like "almost all of your compliments are backhanded."

[airshow]

Puh-lease. What's the nicest thing you've ever said about me, huh?

[countdone]

I don't know. We've known each other a long time, that's a lot of conversations to remember.

[airshow]

Mm-hmmmm. Face it, Piper...

[ And he slings an arm around his shoulders. ]

You're almost as bad as I am.

[countdone]

Maybe you just bring out the worst in me.

[airshow]

Now you're trying to sweet-talk me.

[countdone]

Pfft. We're good guys now, James, that isn't a compliment anymore.

[airshow]

Maybe for you. Still kinda makes me all tingly.

[countdone]

It's too bad you're not still with Harley, then.

[airshow]

I don't think I'm her kind of bad guy. Or vice versa, if we're being honest.

[countdone]

Oh, really? What's your kind of bad guy, then?

[airshow]

Hmmmmm.

[ He taps his chin thoughtfully, leaning against Piper where his arm's still slung around him. ]

Smart and sassy. Cultured but not uptight about it. Knows how to have a good time. Likes animals. Could beat me up and make me thank them for it. Looks good in a black catsuit.

[countdone]

[WELL THEN...he snorts and gives James a shove.]

I guess if I see Catwoman around I'll let you know. I don't think she'd go for it, though.

[airshow]

Yeah, that ship sailed...

[ He sounds a little wistful. ]

Oh well! There are plenty of fish in the sea, to mix a metaphor. Who knows — maybe you'll even catch another one one of these days!

[countdone]

Maybe I will. Then what will you have to say for yourself?

[airshow]

... what? What's that supposed to mean? Why would I care?

[countdone]

Well you were talking about it like the idea was ridiculous.

[airshow]

And then we established that you're a stud or something, sooooo...

[ This line of conversation isn't fun anymore! ]

I'd be fine with it. [ No. ] Hypothetically. [ No. ]

[countdone]

Hmmm.

[That's not what he was trying to get out of him, but okay.]

Well, that's enough of that, I guess.

[airshow]

[ What? What the hell was that? James is thoroughly confused, and he hates being confused, but he forces himself to laugh about it anyway. ]

Has anyone ever told you you have a real schoolteachery way of talking sometimes? Or, like, a very patient but overtired mom?

[countdone]

Well, no one's ever put it quit like that.

[airshow]

I mean, you're way preferable to my actual mom, jussayin'...

[countdone]

Gee, thanks. That's what I want to hear.
