Yep.

[She gives him a slightly apologetic smile, before reaching up and tapping her head lightly - very lightly, as this head trauma is starting to take the form of a migraine.]

I have a concussion. I need someone to keep me awake. Do you mind?

[xfit]

[He shakes his head. Malcolm never minds. He suspects she knows that much. He goes to his television to find something decent to put on.]

What are you in the mood for?

[neverthehero]

Most cop shows are full of idiots, so that's probably a good place to start.

[She makes her way over to the couch and plops down with a groan. She's tough and she'll heal, but that doesn't mean the period in between doesn't suck.]

We can try to solve the cases faster than they can.

[xfit]

[Like the good friend he is, he goes to grab her some water before he changes the channel. He doesn't have anything harder than juice for obvious reasons. Besides, no woman ever slept with a full bladder in his experience.]

That actually sounds pretty fun. [He can't repress a smile. He likes little moments like these where it's just them and no one is attacking the building. He comes back with a bottle and plops next to her once the channel is on. Time for some quality trash tv.]

[neverthehero]

[She smirks a bit in return, before taking the water and hoping it will ease the headache that's building. Hydration woks for stuff like that, right? Sometimes.]

Law & Order usually has the most obvious tells.

[xfit]

[Malcolm chuckles.] Yeah. Call me crazy, but when Robin Williams shows up as a janitor or something, I think there might be something going on there.

[neverthehero]

Exactly! They make it so obvious.

[Famous people are dead giveaways, but she figures that the famous people don't want to make a guest spot for a part with no meat.]

[xfit]

I guess when you get paid the big bucks you can make yourself the lead villain. [He shrugs. That's more Trish's department than his.]

[neverthehero]

[She nods because that's probably true. Then she slumps back into the couch with a sigh.]

It'd be nice if the cases in real life wrapped up as neatly as they did on TV though.

[xfit]

[Malcolm doesn't hesitate to nod. How much easier would their lives have been if what went down with Kilgrave was a tv show?]

We'd probably be a lot less stressed out.

[neverthehero]

I'd probably still have a drinking problem though. That kind of shit makes great drama.

[xfit]

But, it'd be a sexy drinking problem. You'd only drink the best whiskey. You'd never smell either.

[Sorry to call out your life like that.]

[neverthehero]

[She snorts in response.]

Because I'd actually live in a decent place and not a shit hole?
