No oozing?

[rehandle]

No oozing. Just getting out of town for a while.

[verbol]

You okay?

[rehandle]

It's been a long few weeks.

[ It's been a long few months, recent events have just compounded things. ]

[verbol]

It sure has. You'll call if you need anything. Fishing rod, beer. Anything.

[rehandle]

Yessir. Thanks.

And you'll call if there are any emergencies. Yeah?

[verbol]

Stephen, if there any more emergencies I might just join you.

[rehandle]

You already have a shack in the woods, Jim, there's only so much further away from society you can go.

[verbol]

You think Mars exists here? You think we could go to Mars?

[rehandle]

John suggested we elope back to the Void. Did you tell him or did they figure that one out for themselves?

[ Technically John asked, but the point stands: he isn't the leak, so either somebody let the cat out of the bag or John and House are too perceptive for anybody's good. ]

[verbol]

It may have come up at poker.

[rehandle]

Well, that explains House never minding his damn business.

[verbol]

In my own defence:

1) I may have been drunk.
2) I wasn't aware it was a secret?

[rehandle]

It isn't. I just didn't realize we were talking about it.

[ What's the truth, Stephen ]

Anyway. Look after yourself, I'd rather not be a widower.

[verbol]

In my further defence, sober me would have preferred not to talk about it with House M.D. (Mega Dick).

You too. I hear the paperwork's a pain in the ass.

[rehandle]

I get it. I wouldn't have been able to resist talking about being married to me either.

Deal. Pact to both survive my retreat: secured.

[verbol]

[snORT. ]

Who wouldn't brag about being married to a witch?

[rehandle]

[ Excuse you. ]

I should've known you only wanted me for my magic.

[verbol]

That and your taste in red wine.

[rehandle]

What can I say, I wasn't a millionaire for nothing.

[verbol]

Haha


What

[rehandle]

[ Oh

Haha ]

I made a lot of money when I wasn't busy being content.

[ Joke's on you Jim Hopper, you missed out on living in the lap of luxury by being a loving husband in whose company he was a less selfish man. ]

[verbol]

Wow! That's crazy!

Unrelated, how do you feel about renewing our vows in the Summer?

[rehandle]

Don't worry, I'm penniless now. I do still have a little place in Greenwich Village though.

[ sends Jim a mental picture of his nice little place ]

[verbol]

You think you know someone, and then they have
a whole building.
