Sam always was a sucker for a nice pineapple sunflower.
[it still might be hard to get an edible arrangement to him, however. he'd be willing to bet they don't deliver to middle of nowhere Mongolia, for example. not that that stops Nathan from juggling his plate and silverware over to one hand so he can try and find some kind of identifying mark on the arrangement]
Chloe, yes. Nadine? [Nathan makes a face and a so-so gesture] She didn't murder him, at least? [but he's not sure Nadine didn't stomp off after the Tusk of Ganesh job]
Obsession can really mess with a person. By the time you ran into him again, he probably had lost a lot more credibility and standing than he had when you started. That can take a toll on a person.
[that sounds reasonable, but at the same time, Nathan also recognizes the fact that he sometimes puts his trust in some really questionable people. and that he only really realizes that they're questionable after the fact]
[for living the life he's lived, your husband can be pretty naïve, sometimes, Elena]
If I ever start getting all kill-crazy or whatever, you'll let me know, right?

[Not wanting to murder someone is only a few short steps from being besties.]
Chloe and Nadine seemed to get along well though. Not sure if I should be pleased or worried.
no subject
Probably worried.
[a beat]
At least they're usually on our side?
[kind of. sort of. some of the time]
no subject
[She's still got friend potential, Elena thinks.]
no subject
Yeah, Rafe was kind of ... [fucking nuts] It's weird, though. Like, I'm not sure he was always like that? [or was he? Nate can't really remember]

I'll be sure to make sure you don't spend all our live savings going on a treasure hunting murder spree. Promise.
no subject
.... we have a savings?
no subject
If we ever have a savings.
no subject
Okay, yeah, that sounds better.

Duty calls. Let go me see what they want us to dig up now.

Be my guest. I'll be right here, with the fruit baskets.
