She's keeping me as a friend. I'll count it as a win, yeah?

[devoutish]

Yeah, it does.

[jumpthegun]

Women. Wondrous, wily, magnificent... what would we do without women? I feel like a musical number should be coming just about now.

We've got a limited time here. Hell or high water, we'll be ending this, by the sound of it. I'll just enjoy the time I get to spend her, Luna, and all the others while I can. This place is horrible, but some of the people, right? I wish I could take some of them with me.

Or go with them.

[devoutish]

[OH GOD WATSON that first bit is definitely making him chuckle a bit. He likes women a lot too, okay.]

Yeah? I've heard there's people hoping to do just that.

[jumpthegun]

Mm... we'll see how that goes. Always wondered what living in the 20s would be like. But Pandora sounds... interesting. Some of the people with places that have magic might be cool, too. Anywhere you'd visit if you could go back home after?

[devoutish]

Think I've had enough of other worlds for one lifetime, mate.

Would you really go somewhere else, if you could? For a visit, or forever?

[jumpthegun]

[There's a long pause.]

For a visit to start, at least. S'pose there's my sister, I'd miss her if I stayed out in the world, but the rest of my family? Don't really talk to any of them outside of her, and they're cousins and uncles and aunts I never really knew. I'd miss some of my mates I go out drinking with - Mike... Bill. But you get used to tipping your hat to people when you ship out more than once.

London'll always be home... but home's felt a bit empty lately. [Sherlock had taken up such a big part of his life. He's still adjusting to things without the other man. It's easier when he's not visiting all the places they did together.]

[devoutish]

I can't imagine that.

[It's so opposite from his own life.]

[jumpthegun]

You've got a community. I don't.

[There's a small shrug.]

[devoutish]

Yeah.

[He actually feels sorry for you on that front, Watson.]

Well, hey - settle down on Pandora, yeah? Sounds like an exciting place.

[jumpthegun]

I'm not sure 'settling' is something you can do there, the way Fiona, Rhys, and Angel talk. I do like exciting, though. Especially somewhere not so cold.

[devoutish]

You don't think it'd be too rough on you?

[jumpthegun]

Nah. Actually knowing what I was getting into would make it easier. [Choosing to be in the middle of all that would make a difference, as well. And John likes to imagine that if there are people like Fiona, not everyone on Pandora can be awful.]

[devoutish]

Are you being serious, mate, or are you only joking?

[jumpthegun]

Little of Column A, little of Column B.

[Half-joking, Alfie. Half.]

[devoutish]

Not something I would have expected from a man of our age.

[jumpthegun]

A man my age was fighting in a war four years ago. And the criminals of London have a habit of running when you're trying to catch them. Probably would've kept at either one of those until I couldn't if I'd had my way.

[He'll complain about it, vociferously, but he really does love the excitement. More-so when he's following someone or standing beside them in the thick of it. But that's another discussion.]

[devoutish]

I was fighting in a war four years ago too, and I'm a gang leader today. It's not the danger I'm talking about, mate. It's leaving home, yeah? Young men go out and find new homes for themselves. Older men settle down. Figured you for the second, that's all.

[jumpthegun]

Settling down would be nice, I s'pose. No one I'm seriously interested in back home, though. And there's... a bit of trouble that way, anyway. Imagine there will be for a little while, yet.

[devoutish]

That's not the sort of settling down I meant. Not necessarily. I'm unmarried, but still settled.

[jumpthegun]

[Alfie, he doesn't like trying to play mind-reader.] I have a job at a clinic. It's all right. I could live doing something else. I was in a... what d'you call it? Transitional period of my life. Maybe I would've settled down properly if I'd stayed home. Dunno. Can't really say. I'm here, I've seen there are other universes, magic, technology we've barely started to dream of... Or maybe it's a mid-life crisis. [He shrugs.] I don't need to settle just yet.

[devoutish]

Well - if you don't mind me feeling for you, a bit.

[plundering]

You'd seriously want to live on Pandora?

[jumpthegun]

I'd seriously like to visit with you. I'll hold off on any change of address forms until I get an actual taste, yeah?

[plundering]

Probably a good idea. I don't think you'd like it.
