[For Nixon]

She had a full bottle of wine in her hands and she had to get away from Barney and not see Winters and right now she needed Lily and Ted and Marshall and oh god, why were they all gone? So in the lack of best friends (who weren't Barney! Lily's chipper voice piped up), Robin made a beeline for Winters' best friend.

"Lewis, Lew," Robin pleaded when she caught up to him, still clasping the wine to her chest like it was a baby puppy. "Help me."

"I'll tell you exactly what it is about you," Lew says with an absent wave of the hand holding his glass, the amber liquid sloshing inside. "You're everything men say they wish women were like. Smart, independent, funny; you like to drink and smoke and tell jokes. You're like one of the guys. You don't mind having sex just for the sake of it, you don't nag or pressure, but you're still a girl and still beautiful. All that alone is enough to make any guy crazy for you, but add on top of it that you've made yourself totally unattainable, and it's no fucking wonder men fall for you."

It really was little moments like that when Robin was severely disappointed she'd never attempted a thing with him. If only because so many guys just never got that and were always trying to outman her. "Even the slightly sociopathic womanizing ones who are all about the chase, I guess," she said, staring at the wine bottle like it was her best friend in the whole wide world.
