Caritas [Thursday evening]

When Robin wandered into Caritas on Thursday evening, Tino was nowhere to be found, but a note regarding his shunning of Robin was on the bar.

Evidently he'd discovered he'd have to work next Thursday for her.

"No, he hates me. How're you, honey?" she asked, smiling at him.

"He shouldn't hate you," Fraser said and glared in the general direction of where he thought Tino might be. "And I'm quite well, thank you. How are you?"

"I'm dandy. Your Valentine's Day present came in the mail today," she said happily.

"Oooh, what is it?" He had to try.

"A hippopotamus."

"Oh, you do know the way to my heart," he said and tapped the space over his heart. "I'll name her Florence and we'll be the best of friends."

"It's a bull," she said immediately. "A boy hippo."

"Even better," Fraser said, nodding. "We'll bond, I'm sure. So. what did you really get me?"

"A hippo," she said, nodding again. "Happy Valentine's, baby! Did you know that they kill more people than lions?"

"I..did not," he said, frowning at her. "I don't think I can keep a hippopotamus at my apartment. Diefenbaker tends to get jealous easily."

"Maybe a dingo?" she offered. "Friend for Dief?"

"Did you watch the Discovery channel before you came to work?" Fraser asked.

"No, I read an article about cute animals that will kill you dead," she admitted.

"Ah, then, let's avoid a dingo for my dog as I'd like for him to stay alive," Fraser decided. "And any other animals that might kill me. I'd also like to stay alive."

"I do prefer you this way. I suppose that means I also can't interest you in a Japanese giant hornet?" Robin made a face. "I'm going to have nightmares of the YouTube video I watched on those. I'm warning you now. I'll wake up in the middle of the night freaking out about the bees being killed and you'll need to be reassuring and check the apartment for hornets, okay?"

Fraser...gaped. "I've no trouble being reassuring and protective from giant hornets but...wow."

"You don't know. You didn't watch it," she said, shaking her head. "These things are as big as your thumb."

"Honey, why did you watch it if you knew it was possibly going to give you nightmares?" Fraser asked curiously.

"Do you know what George Mallory said when asked why he wanted to climb Mount Everest?" Robin replied.

Fraser frowned and tried to recall what he'd said. "Yes, but that still doesn't make sense."

"I clicked because it was there," she said, shrugging. "It's like telling me not to think of pink elephants."

"I'll protect you from the Japanese giant hornets," he promised and smiled at her. "They'll have to attempt to go through me before they get to you."

"They can shoot acid that will melt your eyes," she informed him. "That's very brave of you."

"I've been shot before," he reminded her. "A few times. I'd get shot again if it meant you were safe."

"Even by hornet-acid?" she asked, smiling softly at that.
