"It's worth trying, anyway. It's something that needs practice, anyway, and half the effort there is learning what the trigger feels like so you can notice when it happens." A small and rueful smile. "A lot of people never figure out how to do it at all."

"Some way to tell you when you're wandering into dangerous territory?" Harrison snickered. "You mean like a safe word?"

Jordan got a nod, and he was about to reply that he'd work on it when Harrison spoke up.
Rep gave the other man a look, completely derailed. "And how the hell would you even know what that was?"

Jordan leaned over and whacked Harrison's shoulder amiably. "a*****e."
"Research, presumably," he said in reply to Rep's question. "Personal or otherwise."

"Because I got a big ******** vocabulary," Harrison answered, grinning. He gave his shoulder an exaggerated rub. "So you and Tracey going to agree on one or what?"

Rep probably wasn't listening. Not for a bit anyway.
It took him a few long moments to go. "Oh. Oh. Right er. Yeah, I'll talk it over with him later. Come up with something I guess."
he sounded somewhat scandalised.
<< Erm. No. They just mean a word to say when I'm getting too pissed off or some s**t, to kick me back to sense. >>
< Ah I see. I'll think about it. >
"He says he'll think about it."

"A big <********> vocabulary, got it." Jordan grinned. "Thanks," he added to Rep and Tracey, a little more seriously.

"Yeah, a big ******** vocabulary," Harrison challenged.
He hadn't been trying to throw Rep for such a loop, although now that he was clearly distracted, Harrison couldn't help a little push.
"And handcuffs were standard-issue." He smirked, then continued innocently, "For my old job, I mean. As far as restraint goes. This one all I got's a bandaid tin. ...Your other option is to get Jordan on the phone, he's good at talking people down. I don't know how much help I'd be."

Rep had the urge to shove Harrison off the tree for the effectiveness of that damn comment. He settled for a heavy sigh and an elbow jab. "You. Ace. Are a b*****d."
"As for those suggestions, yeah, I don't think phoning people is the answer either. My history with phones isn't really great. And like, if I tried to dial someone when I was angry I'd probably just end up lobbing my phone at whoever was pissing me off."

"Yeah, but we're talking self-restraint, not forcible restraint. Or consensual, for that matter." Jordan snickered.
"Yeah, that probably wouldn't do much good," he agreed. "The phones are probably tough enough to be decent projectiles, but that's not an optimal use."
