@wintxrx // tyr x kate
It was a common thing for partners to head out for drinks together after a long day's work—almost ritualistic. Most cases were easy and didn't follow Tyr to the bar. He didn't have to think too hard when the mystery was plain; when the suspect's motives were clear or when their work was sloppy. But the case he'd been working on with Kate, his new partner on the force, was a mindbender to say the least.
Sometimes, talking at the bar, shooting ideas back and forth, yielded more results and breakthroughs than when detectives were on the scene. And Tyr would have liked to do that—to ponder aloud about what the suspect's motives were and why the victim was chosen—but he'd had a migraine all day and wanted to think of anything but.
So, once the two had been served their drinks of choice, he took a sip and glanced over at Kate.
"Tell me about yourself," he told her. They didn't have much of an introductory period when they were wedged in this case together. Getting to know her would take his mind off the pain. And they always said partners should be bonded in some way; this was his way. "Why'd you get into the force?"
