[debrief]

[ There's a man sitting in the ground by the fountain, his back against it: middle aged, in a suit, a badge pinned to his chest, and a very big gun in his lap.

He's also not moving and there's blood in the corner of his mouth, on his shoulder.

His eyes focus for a moment, and he manages a look of mild surprise. ] Boss? — [ a wet cough ] Does any S.H.I.E.L.D agent —?

[ Another breath, laboured, and he stills again. ]



[ ooc; Say hi to Agent Coulson. Replies will come after Bones and Roxas are done with him, all right? All right.

AND CAN I JUST SAY AGAIN HOW EXCITED I AM a;sdfk;ldks ]

I'm a firm believer in achievable goals. Are you good enough to become an international jewel thief?

[ That would be valuable information to have. And he's hardly going to admit to anything. ] Mostly paperwork. [ Or so he says. ]

[doeswhathewants]

Better than good enough.

[He's just going to give you a faint smile.] So. That means you're important or you do something important. Someone who did something boring- a janitor or a secretary or the like- would have alluded to being something more important. The important ones always downplay their duties.

I wish. There really is an awful lot of paperwork.

[ He also shouldn't enjoy this conversation quite as much, but this kid's smart. It could be dangerous, but he finds that he still really enjoys it. ]

[doeswhathewants]

Not an outright denial, but at this point, you could merely be entertaining me. [A grin.]

[debrief]

Maybe. [ He lets some of his own amusement show. ]

[doeswhathewants]

You're okay. For an old guy. [The Serrure seal of approval.]

[debrief]

I appreciate the vote of confidence.
