I don't know where you got that assumption. But, since you bring it up. You know, we were paired together before now that you mention it. I'd almost forgotten. Sure, I'd be happy to. Shall I tell Alan when we stop for coffee or...

[death_glare]

That wasn't an approval, Slingby. I was merely clarifying. When and how you lot get paired off depends heavily on the assignment.

[ochitashinigami]

But that's the problem! It keeps changing. We need regular partners. The changes make things.... [He thinks about it for a moment] less efficient? [Will likes that, right? Yes, that was definitely the right thing to say.]

[death_glare]

[ Looks to the side, obviously thinking it over. Weighing the pros and cons. ]

If Humphries and yourself were placed together, that would leave our newest recruit with Sutcliff.

[ He's looking rather unsure about this. ]

[ochitashinigami]

Or with you. Is that a problem.

[death_glare]

As I said, we have an odd number of agents. One of us will be left alone, and I am certainly not leaving Sutcliff to his own devices.

[ochitashinigami]

There isn't an odd number anyway. There's Alan, me, you, Sutcliff, Ronald, and Alan.

[death_glare]

[ Squints ]

You said Alan twice.

[ochitashinigami]

I didn't. Anyway Sutcliff has been around as long as you have, hasn't he? He could go it on his own. Or you could. Aren't you like, really old?

[death_glare]

...

Perhaps I will stick you with Sutcliff and allow Humphries to train Knox in the field.

[ That's what you get for that comment. ]

[ochitashinigami]

... You won't. You rejected the partners suggestion anyway, right? Besides, it wouldn't work. Alan's not much older than Knox.

[death_glare]

Then I guess this case is settled. You will be paired with whomever I believe will benefit the current case.

[ochitashinigami]

It was just a suggestion. I thought you wanted suggestions.

[death_glare]

Upper management asked for them, not me.

[ochitashinigami]

Ah, oh well. It's all the same when you're a lowly worker like me.

[death_glare]

You realise you can change your situation by working to get into a higher position.

[ochitashinigami]

That's a lot of work. And why would I do that? So I could be more like you? No thank you. I like you, but it's not worth it.

[death_glare]

...

You're attempts at staying on my good side today are astounding, Slingby.

[ochitashinigami]

What? I said I liked you.

[death_glare]

It was tucked in there somewhere.

[ochitashinigami]

Right then, so I don't know what you're complaining about. Is it because you have to make Sutcliff do all the paperwork again and we're going to be short staffed?

[death_glare]

[ Pinching the bridge of his nose. ]

Please don't remind me of that.

[ochitashinigami]

So I'm right? I thought so.

[death_glare]

It wasn't as though it was that hard to predict. This is Sutcliff we're talking about.

[ochitashinigami]

Well, that's true. But really though if Alan needs any help keep me in mind. He's a good reaper but he's still new.
