"Featherweight, huh?" Suicide raised an eyebrow, trying not to look as if he was filing that information away for future reference and failing miserably. Judging by Jenni's expression, there was a story or two there, and he usually liked stories like that. His mental Diocletian gave him a smack, though, and he tried to respect Jenni's attempt to change the subject. "Soft drink for the lady," he added to the bartender. Dorf, privy to the mysterious oracular abilities that every bartender in the multiverse seemed to possess, likely already knew what kind she wanted.

"And as for things that aren't in my charts," Suicide continued while the drink was being fetched, "you'll have to be a little more explicit--" Gods-damned Freudian slips "--exact about what you want to know. I'm pretty sure FicPsych's records have covered some parts of me pretty thoroughly."

. . . wait. Shit. Double-entendre? He didn't know. Dorf brought the drink, thank Apia.

"Tell you what," he continued, setting down his own drink. "If I believed in fairness, I'd say it was unfair that you got to see my records while I have to guess. So I'll trade you fact for fact." What was that thing that Ithalond always said when he'd had too much Dorwinion? Oh, right. "Quid pro quo, Clarice."
