Back when I arrived (the first time), someone posted this. It was a lot of fun, so I thought I'd do it tonight. It's better than staring at this data and willing it to change.

Word association. Reply with the first word that comes to mind. No cheating.

To start us off: help.

And I told you, it's fine. What I'm wearing doesn't change who I am, I know that.

[He says it matter-of-factly, like he hasn't thought otherwise.]

It's not bad. It's just different.

[Echoing words she's said before in a different context. It seems they bring all sorts of new things out of each other.]

They glasses stay, though. I'm not budging on that one.

[unpreach]

Okay. [Content to leave it at that, Kate feeling a little more secure in the knowledge that he didn't actually think she was trying to change him]

Oh, the glasses definitely stay. [Nodding enthusiastically. He just wouldn't be Richie without them.] Except during movies.

[Which is when most people would actually need glasses but she has her priorities and she's learned that glasses and kissing don't really go together well.]

Except during movies.

[Or anything else in bed. He knows better than that. That said-]

I can see 20/20 without them, anyway.

[But, as she's thinking too, he's not himself without them.]

And the suits can't go completely. You do look pretty great in them. [I mean, understatement. It was a scientific fact that all men looked incredible in suits.] But at least now I won't be so underdressed around you all the time.

[He thought he might have to clarify, but she seems to understand quickly enough, so that he doesn't have to.]

So you wanted me to match you, too?

[She gapes a moment, trying to summon up some kind of reply that wouldn't sound lame until finally she just sort of...

Gives up.]

Well, I - yeah? [In Kate's mind? At best she probably looks like his dowdy little sidekick.] I mean I know I could dress up but - [All but snorting.] Me?

[Shaking her head. People would accept him in jeans and a t-shirt but she didn't think she could pull off a dress and heels the way say.

Santanico could.]
