“After I was first introduced to the others, I did that a lot. The guys complained about it, and my sister’s mentioned it too. I take charge, make calls.”
Hm. This ties in with the conversation about how Brian might be able to handle Rachel better, in that it provides a reason for him to not want to take an official leadership role. It seems he’s naturally inclined to take charge (which is why he’s the de facto leader), but is trying to respect the others’ opinions and keep that down. As such, he might not want to take on official leadership because he’s worried it’ll enable him to become an overly controlling ass.
“Really, it’s cool. It makes sense, given…” I paused, keeping the civilians that were in earshot in mind. “…the situation, and I like your apartment, so I don’t mind staying there.”
Yeah, Taylor’s on board with this. Not particularly surprising, really.
“Yeah?”
“Definitely. Hell, I’d have you decorate my apartment when I got a place of my own.”
Hehe.
He chuckled, “I’ll do that for you if you make me that outfit we talked about before.”
The costume. I’d almost forgotten.
Sounds like a fair trade to me!
“Thanks for reminding me about that. It sort of slipped my mind.”
“Considering it?”
“Yeah. Maybe. It’s a big job, but I guess I have more free time now, and, uh, yeah. That’s pretty much it. I could maybe do it, sure.”
It would be pretty cool to have the team entirely outfitted with Taylor’s handiwork. Or, uh, spideriwork.
Obviously, I couldn’t and wouldn’t mention the fact that my decision to ally myself with the Undersiders for real was a factor.
Oh yeah, that. It seems like she’s deciding to keep that under wraps, at least for now.
