I'm aware that yesterday's curse was about the prenups more than the actual marriage, but it still made me wonder:

What are your thoughts on relationships in the City, given that people might leave at any time, or return without memories? Not necessarily romantic relationships only; I'm sure the lack of stability has a similar effect on friendships.

Sometimes. I don't think any method is really the "right" one.

[debrief]

Any method like this requires constant re-evaluation.

[hexappeal]

That's just how life is.

[debrief]

Too true.

Zatanna.

Assuming that's your name. Phil Coulson.

Zatanna Zatara. And I know that it sounds like a rejected name for an Italian or French dish.

Good to meet you. Sort of.

[debrief]

Possibly Spanish, too.

Likewise.

Have to touch all bases, huh.

So, Phil, you come here often?

What my visits lack in frequency, I'm hoping to make up in length of stay.

text;

[hexappeal]

I am sure I could make that into an innuendo with little effort, but I'll spare you.

[debrief]

I appreciate it.

text;

[hexappeal]

On second thought, you seem like the kind of guy that would appreciate it...

text;

[debrief]

Absolutely not.

text;

[hexappeal]

No need to be shy about it.

text;

[debrief]

I was going more for a polite but firm expression of disinterest.

text;

[hexappeal]

Buzzkill. You could at least pretend to be flustered.

text;

[debrief]

I hide it well.

text;

[hexappeal]

I'll remember that.

[debrief]

Of course.
