[ Sam is wearing one hell of a grin as he makes sure his video is steady. He backs up, and in view behind him is a small pick-up truck with a high cap over the bed. It may have once been powder-blue, but those days are clearly well behind it.

But hey, it has tires. Honest to god tires. ]

It was hard enough findin' one that doesn't hover, but throw stick-shift in the mix and you'd think I was askin' to buy the first printing press. [ his grin widens. ] Hell, I feel like a hunter showin' off a trophy.

But bein' able to avoid public transportation? Or just go campin'? That's priceless.

She's gonna need a name though, for good luck. [ Sam levels a playfully serious look on the camera. ] Can't go drivin' a cursed truck. So, any suggestions?

Power Girl -- hello. Is, ah, everything all right?

private

[boobwindow]

Peachy, but I don't want to have to start looking out for a pick-up truck stalking you around your workplace.

private

[slightlyoffchilt]

I don't blame you. I'd fear for the health of my vision looking at that eyesore, too.

private

[boobwindow]

Hey, don't make my job hard for me.

And don't make your own life harder either. I know you've got a mouth on you.

private

[slightlyoffchilt]

I daresay Mr. Merlotte has tangled with more aggressive mouths than mine. Don't you agree?

private

[boobwindow]

I don't know the guy.

[ Except for his tastes in automobiles now. ]

Could you at least be a little careful, Doc?

private

[slightlyoffchilt]

Merlotte is more bark than bite, I assure you. [A beat.] He and I simply didn't get off on the right foot, it isn't anything dire.

I promise.

private

[boobwindow]

You really know how to charm people, don't you?

private

[slightlyoffchilt]

He had been flirtatious with Raina! What was I to do? Deny his scallywag sensibilities?

[It's obviously more nuanced than that, but how often does Chilton get to say "scallywag", why complicate the matter?]

private

[boobwindow]

[ Oh my god. ]

Men. Can't you ever settle anything nicely?

private

[slightlyoffchilt]

Very, very rarely. [He clears his throat.] But I do appreciate your efficiency, Power Girl. I've not been attacked since requesting your protection.

[A+ reviews from Chilton!]

private

[boobwindow]

[ He better leave a good Yelp review! ]

That's good to know. I don't want to have to carry you everywhere.

private

[slightlyoffchilt]

But you're so strong.

private

[boobwindow]

Don't get any ideas.

private

[slightlyoffchilt]

So strong and so kind.

private

[boobwindow]

But not above booting your own ass if you make this hard on me.

private

[slightlyoffchilt]

Have you seen how nice I'm being to him since your reprimand?

private

[boobwindow]

You're not getting a gold star for it, but thank you.

private

[slightlyoffchilt]

Of course, Power Girl.

In the meanwhile -- have you given much thought to the upcoming Ambassador Elections? That was something of an upheaval.

private

[boobwindow]

[ A beat. ]

I try not to get deeply involved with politics, though we could use strong leadership again.

private

[slightlyoffchilt]

I'm quite fond of Petyr Baelish for Maurtia Falls. Haven't decided upon De Chima, yet. May I inquire your opinion?

private

[boobwindow]

I haven't taken a good look at who the candidates are.

[ Peej... stay informed... ]

private

[slightlyoffchilt]

Ah, well. You have time.





I would recommend Baelish, of course.

private

[boobwindow]

I'll keep a close eye on it.

What do you like about Baelish? I think his only competition is a... dog. Some kind of dog.
