Hmmmmmmmmm....

[She seems to think that over.]

Only if I can have Cosima.

[subourbon]

She's all yours!

[Cosima generates the most mess out of everyone anyway.]

[helladoomed]

Dang. Not even a second's thought, huh?

[subourbon]

I would've said yes to anyone, for the record. But I'm sure you'd like to keep your own space.

[She finishes peeling and slicing some apples for Chloe and sets the plate in front of her.]

You're always welcome to join us for dinner, of course.

[helladoomed]

I'm not sure if that's better, or worse.

[She smiled.]

Thanks though. Probably beats sitting alone in that apartment huh.

[subourbon]

I'm sure everyone would like it if you came. And it's not too difficult to cook for one ore, when I'm already cooking for so many.

[helladoomed]

...Thanks. [Chloe actually looked...a little embarrassed.]

You sisters are all like, weirdly nice to me.

[subourbon]

I don't see what's so weird about it. Besides, we all have to look out for each other in these situations.

[But really, Alison knows it's Sarah who's set the tone on this, probably because she sees a lot of herself in Chloe. As far as Alison's concerned, Cosima would probably try to befriend anyone.]

Cosima would probably like to have someone to go sightseeing with, if you're interested.

[helladoomed]

I guess.

[Most of the time, Chloe was just looking out for Number 1. Her. This whole worrying about other people thing was new...]

I'll have to ask her. Got some other shit I gotta do first though.

[subourbon]

[Her mouth twitches at the vulgarity, but she just says:]

What other things?

[helladoomed]

[Sorry Alison, swearing is kind of her thing.]

Just some stuff Max asked me to do. Still figuring out the details.

[subourbon]

And you're sure it's safe for you to be doing... whatever it is you're going to be doing?

[Chloe's safe in Mexico now, so the Russians shouldn't be able to get to her, right?]

[helladoomed]

Hopefully. Whole point of doing it from here is the Russians can do fuck-all to stop me.

[She shrugged.]

Guess we won't really know till I get started though.

[subourbon]

Just try to be careful, okay? I know it's "safer" down here, but it's still Mexico.

[In Alison's suburban mind, that includes Mexican drug cartels and lord knows what else.]

[helladoomed]

Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid.

[She was too busy doing dangerous things to do anything stupid.]

Besides, you think the Mexicans brought us down here just to let us get shot by gangs or something?

[subourbon]

Well, they might not have control over those kinds of things. You never know.

[helladoomed]

Fine, fine. [She smirks.] I'll be careful mom.

[Yes she was doing that to bother her.]

[subourbon]

Very funny, Chloe. We're just trying to look out for you, that's all.

[But she feels a small twinge at that title, "mom". She misses hearing her kids call her that.]

[helladoomed]

Yeah, yeah, I know.

[She sighed, then smiled tiredly.]

Looking out for me is a doomed cause, by the way. You should see what I've done to my mother back home.

[Joyce did not deserve dealing with Chloe.]

[subourbon]

All the same, if my kids were here, I'd want someone looking out for them. I'm sure all mothers feel the same.

[She does feel a twinge of sympathy for this poor woman though, and she just hopes her own kids won't put her through the wringer like Chloe has apparently done to her mother.]

[helladoomed]

Guess I can't argue with that.

Anyway, I need a smoke. [She's standing as she says this.] Thanks for the soup though.

[subourbon]

Of course. And just try to stay out of trouble, okay?

[Even Alison knows it's a useless request, really.]

[helladoomed]

No promises!

[But she was laughing as she went hunting for a way back outside.]
