"So, what's their story?" Darkstar asked, nodding in the direction of the petite norm and his teammate. He couldn't make out what they were saying - they were too far away to hear, but he could read their body language. It was quite clear that Bones had pissed her off - but then, Bones tended to be a little too blunt for people.
Razor glanced over at where Darkstar was looking and then buried his face in his hand, shaking his head slightly. "He's never going to learn, never," he opined. He let out a tired sigh and glanced up at Darkstar. "So, you want a history lesson? All right," he said, settling back into the chair. He glanced over and saw a few of the others glancing his way - damn it, there were days he really hated being the one that knew the story behind those two.
He gestured to Bones first. "Brian "Bones" Justice," he said, before pointing to the female. "And she is the unlucky woman to have married that idiot. Detective Lily Justice." Did he remember to put enough stress on the "idiot"? Because Bones was a large one. Loved Bones like a brother - but the man just didn't think, especially when it came to that woman.
"Wait, wait, back up a minute," Thrasher said, obviously startled, nearly falling out of her chair in her shock. "That's his wife!?"
"Yep," Razor said, chuckling quietly, clearly amused by everyone's stunned reaction to finding out their team captain was married. "Personally, I think he doesn't deserve her, but what do I know?" he asked with an idle shrug. "She's been with him since," he paused, trying to do the math and deciding that he'd just forget about. "We'll go with nearly forever."
Slick gave a low whistle. "Damn," he murmured. "So, how come we never met her before?"
Razor glanced over, watching the pair and winced. Oooh, that was going to leave a mark. Maybe he should go stop her before she fed his left arm to their poofball. Nah. "Oh, that," he sighed. "Remember I said he didn't deserve her, well, ol' idiot over there decided that since he had gotten a job offer from Elanore that he was going to move here, unfortunately, his wife was still in the academy and couldn't leave so.."
"He didn't," Thrasher said.
"He did. On their anniversary, I might add," Razor said. "I still maintain that he's an idiot."
Thrasher shook her head. "No wonder she's frosty towards him."
"Frosty's a good word," Razor said. He glanced back over and allowed a low chuckle to escape. Yep, watching Brian and Lily was like watching a good soap opera [not that he watched soap operas!].
"So," Slick began, trying to get back to the story. "How'd the two meet?"
Razor glanced back at Slick, a distant look in his gaze, almost as if he wasn't quite seeing him. He didn't like talking about the incident - the memory of it was still too painful. "Post incident. I think high school, can't really remember it's been that long," he said.
