[ That's too bad. ]

Right. [ Yeah, okay. He'll allow for the possibility that you're not fucking with him because this place is mad. ]

Severide. Kelly Severide. What's yours?

[onset]

Peter Chadwick. Pleasure to meet you, Kelly. [despite the circumstances.] I hope you haven't run into too much trouble yet.

[seriousheat]

Peter. [ A beat. ] Most people call me Severide.

Hardly any, but I was thinking of checking out the underground.

[onset]

[It pains him a little to be handing out warnings when he hasn't gone there himself.] Are you sure you want to do that?

[seriousheat]

Not gonna fight any monsters, just want to have a look.

[onset]

Not to be annoying about it, but just because you aren't looking for trouble down there doesn't mean it won't find you anyway.

[seriousheat]

I think I can handle myself.

[onset]

Well - as long as you think so.

[He doesn't sound very convinced.]

[seriousheat]

Oh, come on. You're making a face like I'm killing your puppy.

[onset]

Am I? It wasn't my intention.

[seriousheat]

Good, 'cause I'm not into the puppy killing.

[onset]

If that were the case, then I'd be making a face.

[seriousheat]

You're already making a face.

[onset]

Oh, dear. I can't seem to be able to stop.

[seriousheat]

You keep doing that while I go check out the monsters.

[onset]

You're sure I can't dissuade you.

[seriousheat]

I found a tour guide and all.

[onset]

[beat -] Who?

[seriousheat]

Some girl who's a vampire. [ Look at how cocky and carefree he is. Uh huh. ] Xhex. Says she'll protect me.

[onset]

Huh.

You're going underground to stare at monsters with a vampire to protect you.

[He's making a face.]

[seriousheat]

Apparently. [ s h r u g. what, he's not even sure he actually believes that there's monsters down there at all. ]

You're doing it again.

[onset]

[welp.] Terribly sorry. I really can't seem to stop. Wonder why.

[seriousheat]

I got nothing to do with this. [ Lifting his hands in a mock-peace offering, grinning. ]

[onset]

When was it you said you got here?

[seriousheat]

Just today. Word is, I'll be out again in 48 hours.
