Yeahhh, that's how we feel about it too. [ Jaime rubs his face. ] We have, like, a truce going on. Not that I think you'd tell anyone about this even without me saying anything, but... do me a favour and don't tell anyone. I might ask you to take Khaji out sometime, though, get some of that - [ he flaps one hand, making a buzzing sound with his lips, which is more or less what Khaji's felt like all day long ] - out of him.
A truce. [ She sounds incredulous, but only slightly. Riptide's truce with Getaway had gone to shit. She'd never managed a true truce with Woden anyway. But mmmmaaaybe Jaime knew what he was talking about? But more importantly... ]
Wait, take him out? I thought he was like your spine or something.
[ Jaime just shrugs. He's honestly a little incredulous about the whole thing too but there's nothing he can do but hope that the Negotiator keeps up his side of the deal. ]
Yeah, he's in my spine. Back when we went out last time, it was, like, 80% me, 20% him? But I can give him 100% of the control if I want to. Or he can take it, if he wants to. I'd still be in there, I'd just be... chilling?
Hey, you two can do whatever so long as you don't get into too much trouble. This is still my body.
[ That much, Khaji can agree to. He may be quarrelsome for the sake of it, but he knows Jaime well enough to know that it's no joking matter - and that Jaime willingly handing over control is the greatest trust he could put in someone. ]

Oh, sure. We can go to Carlsbad and get his arse kicked.

What's Carlsbad again?

[ He's talking to Khaji, not her. Maybe Khaji has a good reason for his feelings, but Jaime's getting tired. ]
You let me know when you've got some spare time. For this? I'd make time.
