I'm fine. Right now I am kind of just spending the next little while trying to have fun again and put the past behind me. I was a doctor on earth, and things were falling apart and in the end I couldn't save anyone. Where I live now, they don't need me as a doctor so I've gone back to clubbing and drinking and such, and I might get into professional dancing again. I just dance for fun these days.
I'm not working for the agency- well, they'll call me when I'm needed. We were tossing around ideas because I can't sit and do nothing. There's no way I can freelance on my own, I'd go insane.
I understand a whole lot better when you talk to me about this stuff!
*Which is exactly what he's avoiding, the hypocrite. He just manages a dry laugh* It's not about anything. You'd rather a long and prosperous business partnership with Apollo than... than anyone else. That's fine. S'your life.
It's not about a business partnership or anything like that. It's... me wanting something more than constant work. This isn't meant to be long and prosperous- it's a club that may never get off the ground and it's not the only thing I'll do with my time
Who else would want a business partnership with me? I don't even want to think of it like that! I didn't see you coming up with any bright ideas.
What did you assume? I'd stick around and work with you on YOUR terms? This isn't five hundred years ago. I won't stick around and wait for someone to say they want to start up a business with me.
Phoenix, you're... my best friend and I adore you, but don't assume anything about me.
..A prize twat. *He finishes it for her, with a wry grin. It feels safer to put himself down than pursue her meaning*
I just want you to enjoy whatever you end up doing, even if it's more than one thing. *Phoenix's voice sounds lighter, and he's smiling* You deserve a little luxury, plenty of fun. Think that's pretty much owed to you. It'll be good. The nightclub.

You... No, it's great. You'll have a ball. It's a much better way to live.

Date: 2010-01-06 05:37 pm (UTC)I'm not just going to be an owner in a nightclub for who knows how long! There are things I want- I doubt you'd understand.
Again, what is this about?

No. I didn't did I? This s'what happens when a guy makes assumptions. Well don't worry. I won't be doing that again.
