"Yes."

"The devices do seem.. dangerously whimsical?"

"Or just dangerous. "

"Tijuana has always been a place of violance. The US Armed forces advises it's troops NOT to vacation here"

"I know. That doesn't mean we should perpetuate it."

"Damn. You are bold" A smile though

She gives Duff a dry look.

"Yes yes, if I didn't know by now" He shrugs "You know, violence is one of my best tools. It's a good thing I have a tattoo shop to fall back on"

"You have other skills. I think you could be a fine diplomat, if you chose."

"A diplomat? Me?" he seems startled

She nods. "You have a fine way with words."

"Mostly for lay poetry in hopes of wooing women with ocean hued eyes"

She blinks. "I hadn't thought that far ahead."

"Mmm"

((Want time to think about i))

((It?))

(Yup. Need some ;))

((Do. Leaving work soon with errands to run so you have some time.))
