Re: Danny/Flack #5 - Kinka-Poodles Don't Cuddle....Or Do The
I keep neglecting this thread. *pet pet*
What do you think Danny and Flack's first impressions of each other were?
I just had the mental image of them squinting and circling each other, hackles up. :lol: But being serious, I think it might depend on what they knew of each other. If we're assuming that the name Messer was well-known to the cops of Papa Flack's day, and the name Flack was well-known to law-breakers (and if we assume that Danny's father
was part of that scene)--they might have grown up hearing the names and forming opinions prior to actually meeting each other. In that case, it would be a matter of getting over preconceptions and
then learning who the other person really is.
If, however, that isn't the case--then the options are endless. :lol: If they joined around the same time, then they'd probably both be too caught up in making sure they don't screw up to bother worrying about someone else. :lol: I wrote out a timeline once, and I think it's more likely that Flack started before Danny (I don't think Danny went straight to the police academy a.s.a.p. the way I think Don did; plus I get the feeling Don might be a smidge older or the same age--of course, knowing this show, they can only make people
younger *cough*Lindsay in her 20s??*cough*). So Danny was probably worried about making a mess of things, and Don was just cool as a cucumber, thinking "ah, the newbie...whoisverycutebytheway." :lol:
Or maybe Danny was working with Mac before Flack ended up working with them, so it was a bit new for Flack--maybe knocking him slightly off-kilter, which I can't imagine he liked very much. :devil:
Ah, the possibilities...
we in fandom get to have as much fun with thinking of how that happened as we can!
Oh yeah, I like that there's history there. We've seen them interact for several years, but there's also years we haven't seen, and that's just a blank slate right there--it's like the future, only with less chance of being totally blown to bits with future episodes (there's always a chance, though, but you know what I mean
).
