Of course, they're actually pretty easy once you get the supplies.

I thought you were maybe ignoring me.

I wouldn't even know what to get for supplies.

[Was she ignoring him? Maybe a little before everything started going crazy. Putting a little distance mostly for her benefit. ... Or something close to a benefit.]

Are you mad at me?

Motors, gears, wires, things like that.

No.

I wouldn't know what to do with all that.
Unless there's a very good YouTube tutorial.
Having said that, you'd be proud of me after what I did today.

Cool.
Did you miss me a little or was it just me?

Oh? What did you do?

Don't be a silly billy, of course I miss you.

Clint and I spent the day making trick arrows. He taught me how to make explosives and all that stuff.

I just really needed to read it tonight.
With everything that's going on. And tomorrow.

Oooh! That's exciting! Are they explosive arrows?

I miss you Kate.

Explosive arrows, acid arrows, smoke arrows, tear gas arrows.
I think you'd be impressed.

I miss you too, Ed.
And if everything goes well I want to have a date with you.

What type of acid?

[A small pause.]

You do??
I thought....uh. I mean.

The melty kind I guess? I don't know, Clint made me label it as one of the 'real dangerous ones'.

[She stares at the screen, not replying immidiatly either.]

Yes.
Fuck it.
Nothing makes sense anymore. Right now I want to stick to what makes me happy.
So if you'd go on a date with me, I'd like that.

Corrosive you mean.
Where did he get it from?

Of course I would.
:)

Exactly.
I don't know, the man has connections.
I think if things were different you two would get along.

[Would they? Clint might tease him a little.]

Yeah?
Even after all our arguments?

I don't know about that, from what you've said about him he reminds me of someone I know and don't really like anymore.

Of course! I argue with Oswald all the time and he's still my best friend.

Who's that?
Not sexy MILF Barbara, I'm guessing.

Of course.
So, what should we do next? We've already been out for drinks.
And I feel you're not a clubbing, going dancing kinda guy.

No.
His name is Jim Gordon.

I like dancing, so long as it's something like the foxtrot or swing.

Did he beat you at rogue poker?

So... What about dancing to something from this decade?

No.
He's not a rogue, he's a detective with the GCPD.

Oh
Uh.
I don't know how to do that then.

Oh!
And he used to be a friend from work?

Yeah, figured.
It would be kinda weird to see you in something tight, all sweaty and dancing to Lady Gaga.
Hot, but weird.
