SUMMARY: a difference of opinion
Reese thanked Finch politely when he received yet another tie, but inwardly he was sighing in resignation. He knew the gift was a hint on Finch’s part.
John had little regard for what he wore so long as it didn’t impede his ability to fight or shoot and was appropriate for whatever his cover persona was at a given time. Finch however took his attire much more seriously, and John knew that his lack of a tie irked the older man. The tie gifts were a less than subtle attempt by the other man to amend the situation.
John however never made use of the gifts. Ties made too convenient a choke hold in a fight. John also found them uncomfortably restrictive, and his little rebellion in deviating from the expected dress code gave John some measure of satisfaction. It rankled at times to be dressed by the other man, although in fairness there were occasions where Finch’s superior wardrobe knowledge was relevant to the number in question. In those cases John bowed to the other man’s expertise--John might be able to mend a torn outfit in the field if necessary, but he had never hemmed a pair of pants. No, he wasn’t going to wear this new tie, and he wasn’t above teasing his friend with that fact.
Finch scowled as he took Bear for a brief walk. The snowman on the corner was now sporting an elegant and expensive tie, a tie which looked very familiar. Harold knew a challenge when he saw one. Game on!
