Subject: Let's take that to its logical extreme.

Michaelis walked into a bar and sat down on a stool. Slumped over, he looked like the weight of the world was on his shoulders.

Or so Isabel thought, at any rate. "You okay there?" she asked.

"Not really," Michaelis said, his voice muffled by his arms. "But you wouldn't care about that."

Isabel blinked. "Of course I would," she protested. "That's why I asked!"

"Sure." Michaelis snorted. "That's why you're here, in the Raggedy Hound, drinking alone."

"Waiting alone," Isabel clarified. She tapped her glass, setting it ringing. "First one of the night."

"Waiting." Michaelis frowned at her. "For what?"

"You, obviously." With a smooth motion, Isabel downed the rest of her drink and waved the barman over. "So - how about a glass or two, and then back to mine?"

Michaelis blinked at her, then shrugged. "It's a bad idea, probably, but... sure."




Michaelis, Isabel, and the Raggedy Hound are entirely new. I've probably used those names before, but not for these people. There's clearly some kind of relationship there (y'know, she just propositioned him), but is that 'shipping?

What about if we'd opened on them an hour and a half later, and it had just been pure PWP? Would that be 'shipping?

I don't have an answer, but if there's a semantic argument to be had, I'm all up for jumping in feet first. ^_^
