[Takes place later in the day after Harry and Orlando wake up slow.]

Karl sighed as he waited for the lift doors to open. He cleared his throat again, wondering how much longer it would hurt. And when the bruises would start to fade. Shaking his head, he stepped off the lift.

I'm sorry, I'm laughing SO hard right now.... :D Viggo's line was just perfect! Harry and Karl were just so... so GUY in this scene, and Viggo blew in at the end like your standard wife or girlfriend catching her guy and his buddy being male idiots, rolled his eyes, delivered a scathing comment and blew right out again. It was like a classic scene from a sitcom. [giggle]

At the same time, though, I could see where the guys were coming from, knowing what we know about them. I mean, jeez, Karl hit Orlando, hard enough to leave some marks that'll be there for a while. If it'd been some stranger I can only imagine what Harry would've done -- Karl's lucky he's Harry's Puppy or he'd be out of it for a while.

And while I sympathize with Karl's wanting to bash Harry just for being an idiot in the first place in this whole mess, I doubt it taught him anything. It's over and done with and he learned a few things from the experience, which is cool, but I doubt that last punch helped much. Although there was certainly a time period not long ago when I'd have been there cheering and selling popcorn. [eyeroll]

Good scene. This sounds weird, but after all that's happened I think this was actually the fastest way for these two to get back into normal relations. They could've talked it out, I guess, but this worked and it was quick. [wry smile] Nice.

Don't matter much if he got anything from it. He had it coming.
