[Harry would like to know why it's become a running gag, this whole "broadcast my team kicking my ass" thing.

He doesn't think it's funny, that's for sure. Maybe someone else does. Maybe he'd like to know who, just so he can punch them in the face.

Anyway, the scene: Harry, poised and ready to address the network with Something Important when, out of nowhere (read: from above), an Aron all but attaches itself to his head and starts chewing. It's been a problem child since Harry and Albert returned from Rock Tunnel, apparently more fond of biting and scratching Harry than even Waldo was, and now that it's messing with his hair?

Nope.

He's done.

He pries it off of his head with a flinch, makes a face at the numerous now-detached strands of hair hanging out of its little mouth, and all but shoves it into the lens of the camera.]

You see this thing?

First person to say they want it can have it.

Happy Caribou F—

Er.

Happy St. Patrick's Day.

[Yeah, Harry agrees. He is a little surprised, given her ragamuffin demeanor.

also do the jennies even do anything about anything ever or

Cue a serious look. A look she's probably seen from oh, say, her dad.]

It sure does. That's no place for a young lady like you.

_{[THEY ACTUALLY DO THEY'RE JUST]

[BAD AT IT???????]

[AT LEAST AS FAR AS HEATHER CAN TELL, SHE DOESN'T CLAIM TO BE AN EXPERT OR ANYTHING.]

[Needless to say, she sure recognizes THAT expression. When she rolls her eyes, though, it's not without a certain amount of affection.]}

Oh, I dunno.

I'd probably be able to make the most of it.

They say if you pick out the toughest-looking guy and beat him up on the first day, everybody treats you pretty good, right?

_{[There's a playful note running in her voice that says pretty clearly that she's kidding around-- she's got no intention of landing in jail.]}

They say that, yeah.

[HARRY CAN KID AROUND, TOO, OKAY. He smirks.]

You think you can take out someone three times your size?

_{[Awww see, she knew he had a sense of humor in there somewhere!]

[He gets a big ol' grin in response.]}

Wouldn't be the first time!

[He thinks she's joking, so his smirk turns skeptical.

...but also slightly concerned, because he's heard stranger.]

No?

_{[Well, she is and isn't, really... Because no, she's never stepped up to a four-hundred pound man and sent him crying to his momma with a few well-placed punches.]

[But she has pumped them full of buckshot and watched as they bled out across subway station floors. And also they were naked and had tumors for faces and they were trying to kill her and they were certainly not human, so there was that too.]

[But Harry doesn't know about the monsters, and she'd rather that Coop's buddy doesn't come away from this with the impression that she's a paranoid schizophrenic.]

[So she just smirks, playing along.]}

Nope!

Why, surprised?

Do these guns not look like they could take out your average inmate?

_{[She flexes a scrawny arm 'proudly'.]}

[Yeah he reaaaally doesn't need to know anything about that kthxbye.

And this is Harry Truman, trying not to laugh.]

Oh, wait, okay. Now I see 'em. [Whistles.]

Remind me not to tick you off.

Good plan, Sheriff.

I can get pretty intense when I'm mad. One of those... whaddya call it... berserker types, you know?

I dunno if I'd be able to forgive myself if you got hurt!

[Okay.

He's totally laughing, now.]

I bet you've got a mean right hook.

But it probably ain't as good as mine.

_{[Honestly? That's good. In the time she's known him, Harry's struck Heather as a rather solemn type. But as far as she's concerned, laughter is good for the soul. So it's nice to hear him laugh. ... Especially since that's more or less what she was going for.]}

Oho!

Is that so?

You wanna bet on that, bigfoot?

_{[why yes Harry she just called you a sasquatch feel free to be offended. Or not, because there's clearly no genuine intent to insult behind that playful grin.]}

[Solemn is a good word. He'd agree with that, though he'd also argue that he has his moments — like now.

And now he's suddenly wondering if Heather's been hanging out with Albert lately.]

Sure, pipsqueak, I'll bet you. How much?

_{[She hasn't, actually-- not enough to pick up on his charming nicknames, anyway. Although she did recently have a brief conversation with him in which she both explained what Tokyo Drifting was as well as tried to convince him to rename his Spoink "Racin' Bacon".]}

How about 500P?

I'd hate to drain your whole wallet.

_{[PIPSQUEAK? SHE'LL SHOW HIM PIPSQUEAK except not haha because dude she's not gonna punch a cop FOR REAL :I;]}
