[Nick will see. It will work great. And Monroe won't make that mistake again. And thanks. Back to the land of denial and self loathing. It's not a nice place. Don't come visit.

Monroe shifts uncertainly. He wasn't expecting that. And Nick pretty much just knocked all the wind out of his sails. Ok, Nick wins. He's folding.]

Oh.

[Now Monroe feels like an idiot for not thinking about Nick's feeling about things. He's not used to having to think about that. Life was easier when he didn't talk to anyone. Miserable but easier.]

Nick, you're not- You did- She'll be alright.

[He cuts himself off. How does he do what Nick did? He looks a little lost at Nick. You get it right man?

Monroe breaths a sigh of relief.]

Just avoid dragging me into the dungeons until I'm back to being me.

[It became his life when he wouldn't leave a man eating Blutbad alone. So this is really all Nick's fault.]

Yeah well.

[Grumbles grumbles]
