Oh my god, yes, please do. The Eagle Kerfuffle doesn't happen in the show, but Dirk makes an offhand comment in the first episode about some of his previous cases -- "a bit about a sofa, a thing with Thor" -- and I choose to believe that it did more or less happen before the show. All headcanon, but if I have a chance to include that mess, why would I ever choose not to? So... yes. Yes.

I am delighted to meet you, Mel! Not just because you bring me a hawk/Dirk's abject terror, but because I can bring you the latter of those things in turn. Honestly, I can't wait. :'D
