[glassbox]

Yeah? Y'sure we ain't gettin' too old for that?

[notdaredevil]

Who's old?

[glassbox]

Your cougar girlfriend, apparently.

[notdaredevil]

My what?

[glassbox]

Y'heard me.

[notdaredevil]

Who said that?

[glassbox]

What's so bad about it?

[notdaredevil]

This tends to be a subject you're touchy about, Lily.

[glassbox]

I can't decide if I should get mad when y'say I'm touchy but then y'call me "Lily."

[notdaredevil]

I'm just struggling to come up with a situation where you wouldn't be pissed someone called you a cougar. I don't even think that's appropriate in our situation.

[glassbox]

Nothin' wrong with an older woman. 'Specially if she ain't that much older. I keep up jus' fine.

[notdaredevil]

Believe me, I don't disagree.

[ He's had the aches in sensitive places to prove it. ]

But I feel like I'm missing something here. Are you calling yourself my cougar girlfriend?

[glassbox]

Well, it's a whole less funny now.

[notdaredevil]

[ W E L P ]

...oh. You were.

[glassbox]

It was a joke.

[ A long, flustered beat. ]

I'm gonna hang up on you, Matt Murdock.

[notdaredevil]

No, that's all on me. I should have caught it.

[ Dont hang up mad, do not let her hang up mad. ]

I thought I was going to have to go defend your honor to some punk kid, Lily.

[glassbox]

I can tell when you're callin' me "Lily" t'butter me up, y'know.

[notdaredevil]

I was prepared to storm your photoshoot and call someone out, Lily.

[ Now the question is: is it working? ]

[glassbox]

[ She's somewhere between flattered and embarrassed -- and trying indignantly not to be either. ]

Matt. I ain't some damsel-in-distress, y'know!

[notdaredevil]

[ But she's not MAD, is she. ]

Of course you're not. I would never even suggest such a thing.

[glassbox]

[ Trying and failing to be, apparently. ]

An' I don't care if anyone thinks I'm old. [ Not entirely true, but! ] Yeah, I got a few wrinkles. So what.

[notdaredevil]

Nobody cares, sweetheart. [ Helpfully! ] That's what I've been telling you.

[glassbox]

Yeah, well -- d'you care?

[notdaredevil]

You know I don't. You know I don't even understand the question.

[glassbox]

Fine. Then I'm over it, okay? Can we talk about somethin' besides what a damn ol' lady I am?
