Have you told the old blockhead how you feel about them? He's the sort of person who'd bend over backwards to make it less unpleasant for you.

Re: Venti

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean... I figure they gotta get done anyways? No need to worry him about it.

Re: Venti

[outofoffice]

That doesn't mean they can't be more fun, though!

Everyone would enjoy it better that way, not only you. Just think: hair-braiding party. Movie night. Karaoke.

Re: Venti

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean... those do sound pretty good.

Re: Venti

[outofoffice]

Ehe . . . trust me, if there's one thing I know, it's fun!

Re: Venti

[crossmyheartandhope]

Well... speaking of not-fun. You mind helping me out with one more square?

Re: Venti

[outofoffice]

Sure. Which one is it?

Re: Venti

[crossmyheartandhope]

I gotta take a nap with someone.

[A beat]

If I lay down and go to sleep, could you wake me up, like. Right away? Like, as soon as I'm out.

Re: Venti

[outofoffice]

I can do that! I'm great at making noise and waking people up!

Re: Venti

[crossmyheartandhope]

Thanks, dude.

[Another beat,]

...you promise?

Re: Venti

[outofoffice]

Cross my heart!

Re: Venti

[crossmyheartandhope]

Okay. Okay, cool.

[He takes a shaky breath in - settles himself down, a little unsteadily]

[Closes his eyes]

[Opens them]

[....closes them, with more effort]




[Takes a steadying breath in]

[Once he's still, he's actually out in less than a minute, the boy is sleep-deprived,]

Re: Venti

[outofoffice]

[ Peering down to make sure he's good and out. Maybe lightly poking his cheek to double make sure.



Then pulling out his flute and GOOD MORNING!!!! ]

Re: Venti

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Startles awake, yelps - and nearly falls out of the tree,]

Re: Venti

[outofoffice]

[ He anticipated this outcome, smoothly scruffing Hurricane before he can fall ]

Riiiiiiiise and shine!!!

Re: Venti

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Caught,]

Wh - That -

[A beat, and then another, barely awake]

Oh. Uh - thanks, dude.

Re: Venti

[outofoffice]

[ Pokes his cheek, giggling ]

That wasn't too much, was it?

Re: Venti

[crossmyheartandhope]

Naw. That was - thanks.

That worked.

Re: Venti

[outofoffice]

Ehe, see! I'm great at making plenty of noise.

Re: Venti

[crossmyheartandhope]

You're real good at it. What even was that?

Re: Venti

[outofoffice]

[ Brandishes his flute for inspection ]

This, played really badly ♪

Re: Venti

[crossmyheartandhope]

Oh, wow. That's like... my level of playing.

Re: Venti

[outofoffice]

All music of all qualities has merit. A well-composed ballad for savoring, a simple lullaby for sleeping, and that for waking people abruptly or pissing them off.

Re: Venti

[crossmyheartandhope]

Ain't you supposed to be a bard?

Re: Venti

[outofoffice]

The best in all the world!
