"Nah, I missed that. What happened?"

Backing him up, as he sinks down into a chair.

"Not much."

Eggsy sits down next to him.

"He just - demanded to know what the hell was going on, took issue with the idea I was dating-slash-fucking anybody he keeps getting into fights with over nothing in particular."

And he lifts an eyebrow meaningfully, because seriously, if that's Mickey's criteria for 'people his friends aren't allowed to have relationships with' then his friends don't have many options beyond celibacy.

"Not everyone is obliged to get on with everyone else."

Is Ricki's philosophical verdict.

"I hope he smartens up, because it'd be a sad thing to lose you over."

[formerself]

"Yeah. I dunno. Might be nothing, in the end."

He wants it to be.

"Anyone ever give you and Omar any shit over...?"

"The other day, that new fellow, Harry Starks, gave me a curious look and asked if I was used to being so out and about it. I went off on him, told him if he had a problem with it, we could discuss it at length, and that I wouldn't go down as easy as Dean Winchester had."

He says, and heaves a sigh.

"So, he started laughing at me, and told me he was one too."

Eggsy sucks his teeth for a moment. This is...not a surprise to him.

"Yeeeah, there's a reason me an' him don't talk."

"But you can stomach Solomons?"

He says, eyebrows up.

"Those two are thick as thieves."

[formerself]

"Yeah, but Solomons didn't give me the glad eye the first time we talked while looking exactly like my handler, so."

He is so very much not in favour of flirting from randoms from the Sixties, thank you.

"Oh, Christ."

Says Ricki, giving him a glance over, and a wincing. That'll happen.

"It's a strange wild world, Eggsy."
