I'm not the one with the hot boyfriend that ends up on the front page half the time.

[jamesthorn]

That's an exaggeration.

[under_the_radar]

I could pull out the last three issues if you want?

[jamesthorn]

Completely unnecessary. I have a good enough idea what's been said.

[under_the_radar]

Are you sure? Cos I have them right here.

[jamesthorn]

Burn them.

[under_the_radar]

No way. I plan to show them to my future nieces and nephews.

[jamesthorn]

If you're waiting for me to make you an uncle you could be waiting awhile.

[under_the_radar]

I've got patience. It's all extra time to save up articles and front pages.

[jamesthorn]

You're a terrible brother.

[under_the_radar]

But I'll be an awesome uncle.

[jamesthorn]

I don't know if I'd actually let you near my child. They might come back sarcastic and wanting to be an artist.

[under_the_radar]

Oh please. You're just bitter because they'll love getting covered in paint that you have to clean up.

[jamesthorn]

Too bitter to let you turn my children against me?

[under_the_radar]

Why would I do that?! Jesus, James...Paranoid much??

[jamesthorn]

You will turn them all into arty types just to annoy me.

[under_the_radar]

But that's not turning them against you. That's giving them a rounded life experience.

[jamesthorn]

Right, is that why you do it? Rounded life experience?

[under_the_radar]

I do it because I like doing it. Plus it pisses our father off and I can make stupid rich people pay lots of money for shitty art.

[jamesthorn]

You've chosen a respectable career little brother.

[under_the_radar]

Hey...It's a legitimate strategy. And I have to do something. Might as well be something I don't hate.

[jamesthorn]

As long as you are happy.

[under_the_radar]

And you? I mean you're not really one for weekends away. I'm assuming you're happy...either that or you're planning a murderous coup.

[jamesthorn]

I'm happy with Davin. After everything he's been through I think he needs a break. Here's hoping he doesn't return from said weekend away hating me though.

[under_the_radar]

I don't think that'd happen in a single weekend. It's a cumulative thing.
