Re: Day 79, late

[unbr8kable]

Technically I'm still Intensity's employee, but...

[Trails off, then shakes her head, like to clear it, then shrugs]

Re: Day 79, late

[crossmyheartandhope]

But?

Re: Day 79, late

[unbr8kable]

[shrugs]

Hasn't had much for me lately. But then he got pissed when I called myself one of his investments, so...

[shrugs again; prods at his feet some more]

Guess he's just stressed, I think.

Re: Day 79, late

[crossmyheartandhope]

[...prods back.]

Or mad cause you called yourself an investment. Pretty sure you guys hit friend status like two months ago.

Re: Day 79, late

[unbr8kable]

[Slouches down further so she can poke him closer to the knee]

I don't see the big deal. I was trying to use a familiar vocabulary to make him feel comfortable, or something. Is this what I get for trying to be nice?

Re: Day 79, late

[crossmyheartandhope]

Maybe he thought you meant it face value, is all I'm saying.

He's kinda not the best at reading people, case you didn't notice.

Re: Day 79, late

[unbr8kable]

Believe it or not...

Still, even if I did, what's the big deal? Investments're good sometimes, I thought.

Re: Day 79, late

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean, yeah.

[Wags his feet back and forth a little so they tap-tap against her leg.]

But it's kinda sad if you think you're friends with someone and you think they don't see it that way, right?

Re: Day 79, late

[unbr8kable]

[Doesn't say anything for a few taps.]

...Guess I shouldn't get too hung up on his reactions anyways. He's still learning what emotions are and shit.

Re: Day 79, late

[crossmyheartandhope]

...yeah. Sounds legit.

[Tap, tap, tap.]

Could talk to him or something, though. We got that thing at nerd headquarters tomorrow anyway, right?

Re: Day 79, late

[unbr8kable]

...I guess.

Re: Day 79, late

[crossmyheartandhope]

Or skip it. He's kinda got emotion hives, like you said.

Told him he was an okay guy once and he just about imploded.

Re: Day 79, late

[unbr8kable]

Wow...

[Shakes her head]

I'll get him eventually. He's so moody, you gotta see how things're going, first. Don't sweat it.

Re: Day 79, late

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah, s'true.

...he oughtta invent like a mood thermometer for himself, so people know when to steer clear.

Re: Day 79, late

[unbr8kable]

Heh, that I can ask him for. Can't imagine he gives you that much trouble. I figure you aren't actively trying to piss him off, for example.

Re: Day 79, late

[crossmyheartandhope]

Eh, mostly we get along okay.

Re: Day 79, late

[unbr8kable]

Remember, "okay" with him is like besties for normal people. He must love you.

Re: Day 79, late

[crossmyheartandhope]

He puts up with me, anyway.

[A beat. Then:]

...so you gonna put some more honey in there, or what? That's like not even half enough.

Re: Day 79, late

[unbr8kable]

...It's like half honey. Any more, there won't be room for the tea.

Re: Day 79, late

[crossmyheartandhope]

Guess next time I'm gonna need a bigger cup.

[Reaches over, though, casual, to snag the tea.]

Re: Day 79, late

[unbr8kable]

You're gonna need a visit to the dentist, more like.

Re: Day 79, late

[crossmyheartandhope]

S'cool, I got a toothbrush.

Re: Day 79, late

[unbr8kable]

You probably got like 20 cavities. Gonna need dentures by the time we're here a year.

Re: Day 79, late

[crossmyheartandhope]

This is hell, pretty sure I'm covered. They probly got like whole rooms in this place just for root canals.

Re: Day 79, late

[unbr8kable]

If you don't want a normal root canal, you probably really don't want a Hell root canal.
