[unclesam]

so not to be unappreciative or anything

but what's the deal with you and mr darcy, man?

[kovach]

[ ?

?????

did marta tattle on him? ]

don't know who the hell that is

[ #liar. ]

[unclesam]

[ worse. so much worse. ]

yeah nice try, dude

I heard you

which means the kid probably did, too

[kovach]

[ well, shit. ]

well your nurse was pulling all nighters reading all that crap to you so i needed to make sure she got her damn sleep before she ended up in her own coma

we were limited on the reading material

[unclesam]

[ getting caught caring is a nightmare, isn't it? ]

marta's great like that. don't worry, I've thanked her - still gonna thank you, too. you think you can handle that?

[kovach]

[ it's not like he isn't willing to admit that he cares. it's just — an awkward hassle. ]

don't really need the thanks
i just happened to be around
she did all the hard work

[ humble? takeshi kovacs? ]

just glad to see you on your feet again.

[unclesam]

of course you are; I'm a damn delight to look at.

[ It's a joke. Mostly. ]

so, circling back. what is it with you and darcy?

[kovach]

just found his whole thing pretty ridiculous.

the whole looming from the shadows thing, pining for this woman while judging her family and being a snob about it. if he's gonna be an asshole, then just be an asshole. instead, we got mr too good for anybody doing his desirable eye stare from across the room in every scene, wanting something so fucking bad while doubling that it's too beneath him.

[ — ah. he's been unleashed. ]

[unclesam]

[ Sam's so gonna tattle on your ball room dancing skills, dude. This is prime material right here, to be honest. ]

uh huh. so you think rough-around-the-edges type men who loom and pine from the shadows should get their shit together and just be upfront with the people they want, huh.

does marta know how much you suffered to afford her a few more hours of peace and quiet?

[kovach]

[ kovacs is just going to pretend that all of that isn't a very obvious jab in his direction. for all that he might often be in denial out loud, he's no idiot to the kind of impression he apparently gives out — or how apparently obvious he is about certain feelings. ]

she looked out for me when i was confined to that bed for a while. same as you.
just returning a favor.

[unclesam]

you gonna accept me pointing out that that's a pretty nice and decent thing to do from where I'm standing, or you gonna be fussy about it?

'cause it makes you pretty okay in my books, darcy. despite the glowering.

[kovach]

the glowering isn't my fault. it comes with this face.

[ which he renounces all responsibility for. it's ryker's mug that made him enemies with half of bay city, after all. ]

you go on telling people i'm a nice and decent guy and it really sours my reputation around here.
