hey he could have hated you
it could have happened
but he was smitten as soon as you broke in.

[white_widow]

I did not break in.
And that is hurtful, that you think that is possible.

[coolcostumes]

you didn't break in?
i do remember locking my door before i left.

[white_widow]

Was your lock broken or no longer functional when you got back?

[coolcostumes]

that's because you probably found a crack in my wall and came in that way!

[white_widow]

Your walls have people sized cracks in them? I grow more concerned about your living environment so frequently.

[coolcostumes]

you know that's not what i mean.

[white_widow]

Mm, maybe. I did not slip in through a crack in the wall, in any case.

[coolcostumes]

how did you get in? you didn't break the locks and i didn't leave the doors or windows open

how?

[white_widow]

I should refuse to tell you, as a matter of professional, but...

I picked the lock. Come now, Kate Bishop, was that really not obvious?

[coolcostumes]

oh duh
right.

well, don't do that!
again.

[white_widow]

I think you would like what I would do as an alternative much less.

[coolcostumes]

you could just knock and i'd let you in.

[white_widow]

Sometimes you are not there.

[coolcostumes]

and you have to be there when i'm not there?

[white_widow]

If I knock and you don't answer, how do I know if it is because you are not there and not because you are unconscious or bleeding out or tied up by goons and gagged until I come in and see?

[coolcostumes]

well true.

but i could also just be out getting food! or something! and now i'm gonna come home and have a heart attack because you scare me.

[white_widow]

I feel like there is a very simple solution: stop being scared.

[coolcostumes]

are you saying you aren't scared of anything?

[white_widow]

No, certainly not.
I am talking about this one specific context.

[coolcostumes]

well, random people just appearing in my apartment seems to be a thing that happens more often than i'd like. it's not something i prepare myself for!

[white_widow]

Random people? Who else?

[coolcostumes]

oh there was just another girl a little while ago. she was just sitting in the dark in my apartment. i feel like i need new locks.

[white_widow]

You have needed new locks for the entire time I have known you. Really you should just move, but at minimum new locks. Yours are terrible. Five seconds to pick.

[coolcostumes]

if i get new locks, you'll just pick those too!
