I'm taking a break from my general system of transcribing pack meetings to transcribe instead a conversation between Leah and John which I have no doubt whatsoever will be far more entertaining to all of you than any pack meeting I contrive.
Meanwhile, in Seattle…
"Can I take off the blindfold yet? It's starting to irritate my nose."
"Hang on, Lee. Have a little patience."
"I'd glare at you, only I'm wearing a blindfold so there's no point."
"Exactly. Can't you see I've thought this through?"
"I'll give you that. You have thought ahead."
"Thankyou. Now just a few more steps… And stop. I'm about to take off the blindfold, so don't incapacitate me."
"That was one time. You shouldn't have surprised me."
"Exactly. I never want that to happen again… Take a look around."
"We're in a predominantly empty room."
"We're in my new apartment. I've left the intern enclave of Miranda's house and struck out on my own. Because the time I've spent with you has got me thinking about the future. And since, as it turns out, you're not a hermaphrodite, I have no issues whatsoever with what I'm about to ask. Leah Clearwater, you are the most amazing girl I have ever met. You're smart, you're funny, and you're a the best fighter I've ever met. Would you do me the extreme honour of marrying me? Because there's no-one else I'd rather spend the rest of my life with thank you."
"Yes! Are you kidding? Of course!"
"Here's your key. Now that you're engaged you can't keep lying to your mom about where you are when you're with me."
"Thanks, but I can't move in permanently until after the wedding. That's when I'm going to stop shifting so that I can go back to aging normally and all that. Until then I need to be on the rez for at least the majority of my time so that I can stay with the Pack. Anyway, Seth and Jimmy both still need me around."
"Is there nothing I can do to convince you otherwise?"
"Nothing. I mean you can feel free to try, but I'm warning you now that you won't get anywhere… so you want to try regardless. I'm fine with that."
Oh snap! Leah's all engaged and shit. I told you this would be more entertaining than another wolfpack convo.
