No, working with a partner and losing them ... nothing really compares to it. Even if my partner isn't a human who turns into a bow.
Was the closet out of necessity? Please tell me it was out of necessity.
Closets are surprisingly uncomfortable. For such things.
[Like sex. She's mostly thinking of sex.]
Is she here? The girlfriend. It's going to suck if she isn't. I mean, in a while, though maybe it won't? I'm really happy for you either way!

So how downhill has everything gone in my absence?
Allison left, you've lost ... a lot of cases.
But the office is delightfully purple. That's an uphill part of it all.

[ Shit. There's a pause, and then a heavy sigh on the other end of the line. ]
I was hoping you weren't going to say that.

Purple is great! It's soothing. I read a book on it.
[No, she hasn't. She's lying. Sorry, Matt.]
You want the rest of the head's up? And you've found Lil, right? She couldn't actually finish the "Matt's gone" call, so you better have called her or found her before you called me.

I feel only vaguely insulted that you thought it was possible I would go anywhere but straight to her first.
[ Especially after all the frantic voicemails of her breaking down that she'd left him. And in a way, Matt has more faith that the other people in his life aren't dependent on him. Kate doesn't need him to prop her up in that way. ]
She's in bad shape. [ Quietly. One more pound of guilt on the pile. ] Since I assume you put my appointment book in the shredder by this point, Monday's open at the office, right?

Men are stupid, Matt. You're a man.
[It's a point of fact.]
And Monday is definitely open. Though we might need to discuss our lease, as we're now paying month to month. [Which means, of course, that the rent got jacked up.
Yay.]

Much offense taken.
[ He's not that stupid. Not stupid enough to ignore the immediate problem at home. ]
I know. That was the best I could negotiate, in event of...sudden long-term but not permanent disappearance. [ Another bullet point on the "reasons Matt Murdock needs Foggy Nelson" list. ] We'll talk about it. I have an idea.

If it's an idea that gets us more business, I'm all ears. I'll prepare you a report, one that suits both of your lifestyles. We can go over it when you get in. [That's her subtle way of saying "to help you Daredevil, too" but you know.
Subtle.
She's still surprised he's keeping it a secret.]

I maybe bought a surround sound system.
With my rent money?

[ It's not a secret. It's a non-topic. Ignoring the issue by never discussing or acknowledging it. ]
Since I've poisoned the well of prospective referrals by disappearing, don't feel you have to hold back on considering the drastic. We'll talk about it Monday.

My boss has been ported out for the last month.
[... So.]
[... So.]
Not me. You. You can have the lovely awkward conversation, but if he doesn't give it over, I will step in and finish it.
Deal?
[Because Matt has been gone for a month. This is the only reason she isn't bailing him out in the first place.]

Being here does complicate things.
Do you want to know what complicates things more?
Not considering a girl's comfort when you're making out with her.

Great.
And tell Lil I have every intention of super gluing you to this world if she tries to break up with you over being ported out by an asshole Fate.

Wait. Has she been talking about that for a whole month?
[ She already left him a voicemail with an anguished threat, but he'd never taken it that seriously. ]

[ Kid is glad that Kate understands. He doesn't miss them because they're his Weapons, but because they're his partners and closest friends. They're the ones that know him the best, aside from his father. ]
Partenrs are partners, yes. Although it's occasionally nice not to need to worry about ammunition.
[ Also because the shots from Liz and Patty aren't lethal, unless he wishes them to be. That's the main reason he doesn't carry replacement guns, while he's here. He can fight hand to hand just as well. Not that he doesn't trust his aim even with conventional firearms, but it's just more practical. ]
