[because Dero can't survive with the Brig being dead any longer, he's alive and on the Plane. he's inwardly quite disturbed, you know, by the fact he was killed and now is alive - and it shows on his face via... him just looking thoughtful, really.

the Brig takes just a moment or so before seeming to 'snap' out of it, and then he assumes his general neutral expression]

Well. Seems I'm in need of a new gun.

[which is correct, as the gun normally in his holster is gone completely]

[he nods] Thank you. It's a matter of... bad timing.

Bad timing seems to be all I have with you Brigadier; any normal person would've probably already given up.

It's only been twice, Harkness.

Twice as long as it usually takes me.

Consider me a challenge, then. They're more rewarding when overcome.

The fun is in the chase, not the capture?

I wouldn't quite say that. I've quite a few years of 'capture' under my belt, and I don't think I didn't enjoy a one of them.

Then why the 'challenge', Brigadier? I'm starting to think you're just trying to avoid outright rejecting me...

You were the one complaining about how it was taking twice as long due to circumstances and going on about most people giving up... I was only offering a different view.

I'm not 'most people', though. If anything it just makes me try harder.

That isn't to say that this is a good time to exercise my patience, though.

[a chuckle] Determination makes up for lack of patience.

But... Harkness, give me a bit. As I said, I need to sort things out.

[nods, smiling at him] Just don't think this means I'm giving up, Brigadier.

Never said I would, now, did I?

Just making sure you're prepared, Brigadier.

I'm prepared for just about everything, Harkness.
