The Fourth Sin - Saturday night

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

Becky was curled up behind the desk, reading rather calmly in spite of how she had spent her afternoon.

The Sin was open.

GOB strolled into the Sin, looking much better. Yes, he was carrying the damned moose. Rather, the damned moose was on top of a box that GOB was carrying. "Hey, Becky," he said as he put the box on the desk.

"You have a box," she noted.

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

GOB was glad that she focused on the box instead of the moose. This was a good start."It's a real birthday present. Slightly belated."

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Ooooh!" Becky said, holding out her hands.

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

GOB slid the box (http://www.ihr-geschenkkorb.de/luxus-kiste_schatzkiste_en.html) a little closer. Manute stayed on the box. Maybe she would take the damned thing away.

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Here, take Manute," Becky said, handing the moose back.

"OOOH. PREZZIES!" she sqealed upon opening the box.

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

Dammit! He took the damned moose and held him below counter level. "You like?" he asked, smarmily.

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"I do," Becky said, peering at the contents of the box.

She glanced up at him. "Thank you," she had a bit grudgingly.

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

"You're welcome," GOB said, amazed to actually get a "thank you." He was trying to figure out how best to indicate the price of the gift set, but it wasn't coming to him. "With shipping, it was about six hundred bucks."

GOB Bluth was never a very subtle man.

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"That's...nice."

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

And now she knew how much money he was willing to spend on her. Not in that way. But in a showering with gifts kind of way.

Booze-type gifts.

"And so are you. I'm just glad we can put this whole birthday stabbing thing behind us and move on," GOB said.

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Mmm."

Becky was a bit too busy sifting through the contents of the box to pay attention.

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

"So, since I made up for that, I can probably just take tomorrow to make some calls, talk to my family, and drop the silly Easter Bunny thing, right?" GOB asked.

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Only if you want to make Miho sad," Becky said idly.

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

"I definitely don't want that," GOB said, looking around quickly. "Easter bunny it is."

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Hooray," Becky smiled.

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

"I'm glad I can make you happy," GOB said. And even though it was going to make him miserable to do it, he actually was glad about this. He found this fact troublesome.

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh," Becky said dismissively.

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

Fine. She wants to play it this way?

GOB raised the damn moose and showed off his ventriloquism skills. Even though the moose's mouth didn't move. "Come on, Becky! Admit GOB's made you feel good tonight!" Manute said. "Say it like you really mean it!"

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

Becky stared.

"That is some creepy shit," she said.

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

GOB lowered the moose. "I told you it's creepy."

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"No, Manute is cute. What you just did is creepy," Becky said.

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

"You're just saying that," GOB said, eyeing her carefully. This was another one of her games, right?

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Manute can't talk," Becky said logically.

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

"Oh." Well, that was certainly true.

"He still thinks you should admit it."

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"No, he doesn't."

Becky gave him a look. "Clearly you still don't speak Moose."

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

"I speak Canadian," GOB said. "Eh."

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Not like the Mountie," Becky decided.

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

"Well, no I'm not a..." Several words ran through GOB's head. Idiot. Weirdo. Homosexual. "native."

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Of course not. But do you speak Moose? Because Manute doesn't know English."

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

"How did you learn moose?" GOB questioned.

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"I've been around."

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

"Around mooses?" GOB asked.

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Among other things," Becky said. "I'm very worldly."

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

"That you are," GOBBLES said. He was curious if the she was actually hearing the moose talk to her. "Okay, I just wanted to drop that off. Maybe sometime soon we can break one of those bottles in."

[lesssexthanmiho.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Becky said, actually smiling. "You and Manute have a nice night."

[bluth-illusions.livejournal.com]

He was actually getting some genuine reactions from Becky tonight. This surprised GOB. "You, too," he responded as he walked out the door.
