I take payment in cocoa! I'll bring cookies.
[He likes her cookies, right?]

Oh! We can order a pizza! I'm getting better at carrying them, but delivery is awesome.
[Chloe's too out of it for anything but video, so Iron Bull gets a shot of the blue haired teen sitting on a balcony smoking a cigarette and...is she wearing one of Max's shirts? The shirt Max had been wearing yesterday, specifically. Oops?]
Hey uh. Iron uh...bull guy. Wake up. It's chloe we talked once.
[So polite.]

[Child you are lucky he was up looking for his goddamn cats at this hour anyway.]
[He pauses, looking that video over for a minute, with one eyebrow slowly arching. Huh... That's interesting. Sure, they made more than one of a certain shirt in this place but still...]
Hey. What's on your mind?

[She wouldn't have felt bad waking him up, anyway.]
Max mentioned you.
[Thus ensuring he knew who the owner of that shirt was. Oops?]
She said you've been keeping an eye on her through all this shitshow crap like that kidnapping.

Two eyes probably isn't enough either.
[She grins, and then... Maybe looks slightly embarrassed? This was sort of like messaging Max's dad.]
Yeah. I do. Uh... She's my girlfriend.

Yeah. I do. Uh... She's my girlfriend.
[Huh. Well, that was a relief, at least. She didn't know what she had expected, really...but he was some kind of giant bull-man, how many prejudices could he even have? So she actually grinned a little.]
...Thanks. It's kind of new. [Which might explain the goofy edge to her smile, even. But there were more important things to ask and the smile faded as she took a drag off her cigarette.]
Anyway. Uh. Look, this is weird to ask but like...you're stayin' at that fuckin' seminar thing, right? You're gonna keep goin'?

[It's okay, Chloe, you're taking to someone whose views on sex and relationships is basically "hey as long as everyone is having a good time, it's fine". No worries.]
Hah. I can tell. Still... good for you two.
[This must be the person Max was talking about, too. So... even better. If not a little depressing. But that's to think about later.]
Yeah. There are people here I need to keep my eye on. This isn't the first time I've seen this kind of shit either...
[Someone has to, so it might as well be me.]

[Why is him saying that weirdly embarrassing? Eesh.]
Uh. Okay. It's like...Fuck. I can't stay. Yesterday they...fuckin' tazed my brain and I've been a wreck since. I know if I go back I'm gonna...
[She didn't know what would happen, but she was pretty sure it would suck. She drew in a breath through her nose, trying to steady herself in spite of the thoughts from yesterday making her want to throw up again.]
Max wants me to leave. Knows a way for me to get out of the country. She says it's to help her but... [Chloe just rolls her eyes.]
But I mean. I'm supposed to have her back, you know?
[There's probably a request in that rambling somewhere..]

[Because not only is he the Iron Bull, but he's the Iron Dad.]
It's going to be shitty. Yeah. I get you.
[And he does. He can see it all over her face. Thanks to the video feed at least. He won't press for details, this time.]
... Help her by getting you out of the line of fire. She cares a lot about you -- makes it easier on her if she knows you're safe.
[This is an educated guess, but it's a safe one to make.]
Doing what she asks you is sort of like doing that. [He holds up a hand.] But, yeah. I know.
I'll keep watching her.

[Do Iron Dads tell Iron Dad Jokes?]
[She sucked in a relieved breath at that, which came back out again as a kind of tired laugh after a few seconds.]
...Thanks man. I mean, I get it, if she doesn't have me to worry about...but that just leaves me sittin' in Mexico worryin' about her and feelin' like a complete douche for leaving.
[Which she wasn't going to say to Max. Probably. Hopefully.]
I keep trying to get her to come with me but...well, she's Max so she's never gonna listen to me anyway.

I thought she was stubborn back home...
[Chloe just shakes her head, but she has that slightly goofy smile people get when they're talking about someone they're in love with. Oops.]
...Anyway. So, just, try to keep her from doing anything that'll get her, I don't know, electrocuted or something?
