    Summary

    Pryce laughs robustly. “So we’ve got some sort of a love…polygon, a union vote in five days, fourteen shots fired by Vic’s count, three stiffs, one destroyed firearms locker that we’ll probably have to reimburse Delta Logistics for, a random betting slip, some necklace that cost a king’s ransom, and a whole safe full of naughty notes.”

    “…Yes.” Kim confirms, trying to hide a smile. “An apt summary, really.”

    “You know, I became a junior officer at nineteen–” The captain flourishes his hand toward Gottlieb, “–Ah, Nix could tell you about those days. I’ve been a cop almost forty years, and this? This takes a whole bakery full of cakes, boys. What next, an escaped lion from the god damn zoo?”

    Pryce’s shrug is exaggerated; the lieutenant is mildly amused.

    Summary

    Jean's meds can't lift his depression, his devotion can't stop his best friend circling the drain, and his adoration can't change the fact that the woman he loves is already married -- but he goes on. (Just don't quote Le Million at him. He *hates* that guy.)

    Summary

    PERCEPTION: The pink imitation feather boa, coiling like a long-necked bird, hanging down from the coat stand beside the door, is loudest. It talks in a soft hissing voice. It is soft and beautiful and when you take it down and touch the soft feathers to your skin it coils itself around your neck like the most beautiful hug. It shimmies around your shoulders. Beautiful.
    RHETORIC: Fake feathers, of course.
    SAVOIRE FAIRE: No cockatoos harmed in the making of this glorious vision.
    BUBBLEGUM PINK FEATHER BOA: Look at yourself, darling. Look how wonderful you look.

    Harry dresses up for another performance.

    Summary

    KIM KITSURAGI: One hand comes up to cling frantically at your neck. He’s scrambling for some shred of composure, some scrap of authority, but he’s breathless and laughing and it goes straight to your head like a second-hand high. “Put me down!”
    You: “Gotta carry you over the threshold,” you grunt. “It’s good luck.”
    ENCYCLOPEDIA: An old Ubi Sunt? tradition. It’s a symbol of devotion, of the sickness-and-health part of marriage vows.
    LOGIC: You’re never going to get married. You’re sure of that. It’s not legal, and anyway Kim wouldn’t enjoy the spectacle of it. This is as close as you’ll get.
    ELECTROCHEMISTRY: This is pretty fucking good, though.

    Kim and Harry are finally moving in together.
