So I'm told you've met my girlfriend.

yup
between the two of you i wonder how many roses you got to decorate with

More than either of us ever could have needed.

How long have you known?

since i filled her office with roses
and she thought they were from you
if i thought it possible to fool her
i would've let you keep the credit, foxy

You were wise not to try. She can't be fooled.

is this what it's like when two nerds are in love
you just praise each other's astuteness

Of course not. We also do it on the table.

...Periodically.

did you know i also know way too much about your sex life
jokes like that are somehow even less funny
you should feel bad

I have no idea what she told you and to be perfectly honest, I frankly don't want to.

Besides, it's not as though we're not even. Or are we so soon to forget you and Chuuya both misfiring at me about sex bingo?

misfires were bad for everyone foxy
everyone

and we definitely aren't even because i don't make bad sex jokes

[in writing]

Technically that's more of a bad scientist joke than a bad sex joke.

we'll call it both and i'll make sure to drink extra tonight to strike it from memory

anyway i can't say i'm surprised knowing who it is now
are you the reason why she needed a new assistant

It is. I wasn't about to let something like that potentially damage her career, and if I'd stayed her subordinate, there'd be a potential conflict of interest, besides.

So it came down to either sacrificing my position or sacrificing her, and I chose to keep her.

you found a new position after, didn't you?
all's well that ends well

[admittedly that's baren making more and more assumptions. the first one was confirmed but also if fawkes ended up not having a job then - baren would take issue with that too.

still though

it's probably as close as he'll get to a real congratulations]

Mmhmm. Luckily enough; I would've been in trouble if I hadn't been able to find something.

I do miss the old one, though. I was happy there.

why?
i'd think you'd get to see her more now

I do, but leaving the physics department was hard. We always made a good team, in class.

yeah your shoes are gonna be a pain in the ass to fill

but i feel like i'm missing something
you can't still hang out in the department?
sit in on her classes for fun?
is this one of those "it'd be bad for appearances" things?

I haven't been lately, just because it seemed better to make a clear division at first. No possibility of blurred lines in the slightest.

Lately we've been discussing the possibility of sitting in again more often. She still won't let me grade her papers, though.

do you
do you really miss grading papers
what kind of super geek are you

I miss stapling Burger King applications to two-thirds of them in passive-aggressive retaliation.

i'll continue the tradition in your honor

Good. I'd hate for the students to think the department was going soft on their abject failures.

i'll print out Did You Even Try gold star stickers too

There, see, now you're getting into the spirit of things.
