(TXT to Alexander) Bennie : Good news, found a place to stay.

(TXT to Bennie) Alexander : Where? Not the murder hotel.

(TXT to Alexander) Bennie : Your bathtub is no longer a nest. Use it in good health.

(TXT to Bennie) Alexander : NOT the murder hotel.

(TXT to Alexander) Bennie : Promise.

(TXT to Bennie) Alexander : Okay. Where?

(TXT to Alexander) Bennie : Subletting a one bedroom from a friend at Bayside. Don't tell anyone, as it's sort of not on the up and up?

(TXT to Bennie) Alexander : I won't tell. I don't think Byron would care, as long as a unit isn't sitting without rent, but I won't tell. Sutton?

(TXT to Alexander) Bennie : She'd die before telling E, especially as I'll be so close. But to stay on the safe side?

(TXT to Bennie) Alexander : Of course. Anything else I can do to help?

(TXT to Alexander) Bennie : You've been such a peach already. And that job we did means I can splurge on my groceries this month!

(TXT to Bennie) Alexander : I will definitely ask you again if elf-catching becomes a profitable sideline. You were better at it than I was. 🙂

(TXT to Alexander) Bennie : Well, I resorted to violence. But as it was a devil creature from Satan's South Pole workshop, I didn't feel bad.

(TXT to Alexander) Bennie : Honestly I thought you'd be mad.

(TXT to Bennie) Alexander : Why would I be mad?

(TXT to Alexander) Bennie : Because you were trying to trap him.

(TXT to Bennie) Alexander : So that I could rip his tiny little head off. I didn't want to keep the creepy thing. Although I still have the head. Do you want me to give it to you as a subletted-apartment-christening present?

(TXT to Alexander) Bennie : I'm pretty sure it would come back alive and gnaw on my ankles while I slept.

(TXT to Alexander) Bennie : So that is a no

(TXT to Bennie) Alexander : Some people are into that sort of thing. I don't judge. But if you're sure...

(TXT to Alexander) Bennie : Maybe we can roast it with chestnuts over an open fire

(TXT to Bennie) Alexander : I like that. Tis the season.
