DF: Oh, gosh..... Its a little embarrassing...
DF: Ive been uh... interested?? In this guy for... quite a long time.
DF: But hes not interested in me like that. Even if he was, it wouldnt be a very smart match. I dont think people would approve.
DF: Sometimes I feel like Im cursed like that... Or I just have bad judgement for whats good for me. Do you know what I mean?
CT: Ah... 1 see.... hm. 1 th1nk 1 may.
CT: 1 can sympath1ze w1th the feel1ng 0f s0meth1ng y0u may w1sh n0t be1ng s0.

SOFIA: -she's hungry and uncomfortable and when she cries somebody always comes so...she's crying loudly from her crib-
FINN: -wakes up at the sound of sofia but jace is completely on top of him and a bunch of dead weight. it suddenly hits him that if he doesn't get sofia right away, colt will, and that would be...not good. so he's attempting to peel jace off of him WHY IS THIS SO DIFFICULT-
JACE: -ZZZZZZZ. he hasn't slept this peacefully in a long time. he's not going anywhere. he's probably also clinging a little. or a lot.-
COLT: -it's true, colt is up and at 'em in no time, but as he trots downstairs he notices some... strange signs. abandoned bowls of snack foods and a movie menu playing on loop. he squints... it isn't until he sees what appears to be jace's boots on the floor by the couch that he pieces it all together. AW HECK NAH. -
COLT: -fuming JUST a little, but unable to do anything about it because he has a baby to attend to first. it's okay sofia, uncle colt is here to snuggle you and go get you some breakfast. don't mind him if he snuffles your baby hair a little during the process. she smells good...-
SOFIA: -she ALWAYS smells good. she's just flopped against colt's chest and whining. she knows he'll take care of her-
FINN: jace -he hears sofia quiet and realizes that colt must have her and there's a certain kind of panc in his eyes as he tries to UN-CLING JACE-
COLT: -GOOD ENOUGH TO EAT. just kidding, he might be turning into a monster boy but he wouldn't eat sofia. he loves her too much.- There there... -heats up a bottle, readjusting her in his big arms so he can feed her when it's ready. he does this, but keeps glancing at finn's room... WAITING for him to show his face.-
JACE: Mmhh? -cracks eyes open, staring blearily at the warm body he's clinging to. that isn't normal. suddenly he remembers what happened and snaps awake.- Oh.......... -detaches when he sees how panicked finn is.-
SOFIA: -AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. she keeps whining until she can actually start drinking the bottle, and then her crying immediately stops and though her cheeks are covered in tears, she's much more content-
FINN: sorry it's just sofia -kisses jace's head so it's not too abrupt and he gets up to put his abandoned sweatpants on- i'll be back just FINN: hold on FINN: -he BUSTS OUT THE DOOR-
JACE: Okay.... -sits up and watches him go, processing everything again. ITS ALL STARTING TO SINK IN.-
COLT: -standing in the kitchen SQUINTING at finn.-
FINN: -finn looks disheveled- oh hi
FINN: i was uh
FINN: gonna get her
COLT: I've got it handled. -colt looks DISPLEASED.-
COLT: You musta been sleepin' pretty heavy.
FINN: yeah just a -DONT LOOK AT HIM LIKE THAT- just a little i guess
COLT: Did you have someone over last night? -glances at the living room.-
FINN: -looks back at the living room- oh
FINN: well jace was sneaking around the house late and i just
FINN: let him come in and thought it wouldn't be a good idea for him to keep exploring in the dark
FINN: so i let him have my bed
COLT: -he just stares at him, clearly not buying this story.- Finn.
FINN: -HE CANT STARE BACK AT THOSE EYES- yeah
COLT: -THESE BIG OL' EYES. they judge.- I know that ain't the whole story.
FINN: -just kind of looks guilty-
COLT: You know I don't wanna tell anybody how to live their lives.
COLT: ... But this is my house. And that's my baby brother. And if you're gettin' up to somethin' but you don't wanna own up to it, then I think you already know you're crossin' some boundaries there. -frowns, angry, but mostly just disappointed...-
SOFIA: -she's just so happy about eating honestly-
FINN: -hangs his head a little- i just -he sighs-
FINN: it was fine at first just normal and then like
FINN: uh
FINN: he said he had feelings for me and i basically told him i didn't feel the same way but he thought it was because i saw him as a baby but
FINN: i was telling him i didn't see him like a baby and then he was still upset so i told him he was attractive because well he is your whole family is but that's not the point
FINN: and he just wanted to
FINN: you know
FINN: regardless
FINN: so i said ok
COLT: -LOOKS INTO THE CAMERA ABOUT HIS WHOLE FAMILY BEING ATTRACTIVE-
FINN: -I AM SORRY IT'S TRUE-
COLT: -finn he's gonna put you in the ground-
FINN: -oh-
FINN: -uh oh-
COLT: Why would you--
COLT: Don't you think that might send some mixed messages???
COLT: Listen... Jace ain't like Citrin or Ryan, alright? He's sensitive and-- -SIGHS. he can't believe jace instigated this, and yet somehow he can. clearly he wasn't thinking this through either... THAT BOY AINT RIGHT.-
COLT: I just hope you know there's likely gonna be consequences. -LIKE ME PUTTING YOU IN THE GROUND-
SOFIA: -okay she's done. she turns her head away. NO MORE PLEASE. she whines about it-
FINN: -he's still hanging his head- i'm sorry
FINN: i should have
FINN: thought it through
FINN: instead of just thinking he knew what he was getting into
COLT: -looks down at sofia and sets her bottle aside. burping time. he's already got a cloth ready to prop her up against. pats the sweet baby.-
COLT: Yeah, well... Reckon I oughta have a chat with him too. -eyeballs finn's room again.-
FINN: do you have to have a chat with him
SOFIA: -making noises over here while the burp attempt is made-
COLT: -he's proud of her. she's good at making noise.-
COLT: Yes.
FINN: what are you going to say
COLT: -that finn is a ho.- I'm just gonna make sure he knows what he's gotten himself into... Unless you want to talk to him to clarify. -EYEBALLS some more.-
FINN: -pauses- the look you're giving me is confusing because i don't know if you actually want me to or you want me to stay away
COLT: Guess I don't know either.
COLT: But I know it's best to take responsibility for yourself.
FINN: -he sighs- i can do it
COLT: -grunt.- Alright. Good.
FINN: do you want me to do it now
SOFIA: -she burps-
COLT: -frowns some more- That'd be ideal.
COLT: -good girl, sofia. cleans off her face and goes to toss this towel, leaving finn to his own devices.-
SOFIA: -do I get to hang out with you uncle colt-
COLT: -of course cutie pie...-
SOFIA: -its a good day-
FINN: -meanwhile, Finn walks back into his room to see if Jace is still awake-
JACE: -currrently in the process of climbing out the window without his shoes.- O_O
FINN: hey wait
JACE: Hhhh... Okay... -sits on the window sill-
FINN: -gestures at him- you can sit somewhere inside
JACE: ... Its alright. I like the window sill. -even though it's not super comfortable on the ass.-
FINN: oh okay uh -scratches the back of his head- colt knows
JACE: Oh......... I figured as much.....
JACE: Is he mad?
FINN: at me yeah
FINN: he doesn't think we are on the same page so
FINN: i should probably make sure that's a thing
JACE: -frowns down at the floor.- So... he thinks I dont understand that this is just...
JACE: Um. You know... a fling.
FINN: -nods-
JACE: -sighs- I do know that.
JACE: ... I guess it makes me kind of sad.
JACE: -pauses, really thinking about all this. as best he can with his head swimming and his heart still racing from anxiety.- But I had fun?
JACE: That probably counts for something.
JACE: I dont really... want to regret it... Even if its not permanent...
FINN: -his expression softens- yeah me too
FINN: i really don't want to hurt you
JACE: Oh, yeah.... Um... Ill be okay.
JACE: This is way more than I ever could have expected so Im happy about that. -manages a little smile-
FINN: -smiles back- well just so you know if you ever feel bad about it it's okay to talk about it
FINN: i've had flings that made me feel pretty sad
JACE: -swings his feet as he looks to the floor again, contemplating something... then he slides out from the window sill.-
JACE: Is it okay if I kiss you one more time?
FINN: -he pauses and nods- yeah
JACE: -shuffles in closer, shyly... before he places his hands on finn's cheeks and leans in for one last slow, soft kiss.-
FINN: -kisses him in return for as long as Jace wants to. Consider this one for the road-
JACE: -melts... he really doesn't want to let go when it feels so nice, but alas... he draws away after a moment, gazing up at him with his big eyes.-
JACE: ... Did you see my boots out there? -points at finn's door. he's still just in his socks...-
FINN: yeah you left them
FINN: i think that tipped colt off just a little
FINN: you don't have to leave i can sleep on the couch i don't mind
JACE: No, its okay!! I should go... Now that Im up I wont be able to fall asleep.
JACE: -shuffles over to the door- Ill just... Umm. -opens it carefully.-
JACE: Ill see you! -YOUTH ROLLS OUT THE DOOR. snatches up his boots, stumbles into them, and sprints out the front door.-
COLT: -squints after him from sofia's room. INCREDIBLE.-
SOFIA: -look at me i'm cute-
FINN: -he just kind of waves and goes in to join colt-
FINN: so
FINN: same page
COLT: ... Good.
COLT: -offers sofia to him.- I think she wants you.
FINN: -takes her in his arms and kisses her head-
FINN: colt i'm
FINN: i'm sorry
COLT: -gives him a bit of the silent treatment, but it's mostly because he doesn't know what to say. there's too much on his mind, and all his weird compulsions and sensory overloads aren't helping him feel any more at ease. maybe he's being unfair, or hypocritical... or maybe joel's just right about them. they're all just a bunch of idiots prone to bad decisions and they should feel bad for it.-
COLT: ... Reckon it don't make much difference.
COLT: Jace can make his own decisions.
FINN: -he just feels really guilty. and pathetic. and like the worst person ever. maybe joel was right, he shouldn't have a kid. why did he have sofia in the first place?- i'm still sorry
COLT: Ok, I get it. -says sharply, but he's starting to look upset.-
FINN: -he just looks down and says nothing. HE FUCKED UP. HE REALLY FUCKED UP-
COLT: -sniffles where he sits, falling quiet again and feeling very stuck and confused.-
SOFIA: -yells momentarily just because she can.-
FINN: -shhhh baby. he sits there as well, just holding sofia and staying quite and he might actually BE SNIFFLING TOO?-
COLT: -glances at sofia when she scream... then up at finn because they're both sniffling babies.-
COLT: I'm not...
COLT: I'm not really mad at you... I am disappointed but...
COLT: Mostly I'm just upset about everythin' happenin' lately.
COLT: And I don't know what I'm supposed to do about it.
FINN: i don't like to disappoint you
COLT: ... It's not like it's the end of the world.
COLT: I'm not gonna snub you for it or nothin'.
FINN: i don't want to make your life worse
FINN: because i know it's already hard
COLT: My life is fine.
COLT: My life is great, in fact? I don't got much to complain about.
COLT: I'm happy. -sighs- Even if I'm havin' a hard time right now.
FINN: -wipes his eyes- but it's been hard lately
FINN: i know that
COLT: Well, it ain't all about me. -starts to get up-
FINN: -stays sitting and watches him. all he can do is wait it out, because it seems like he can't fix this. the tears don't stop-
COLT: -he just needs some time to calm down... he really can't stay upset about all this -- and he definitely doesn't want to.-
FINN: -he'll just remain here holding sofia and using his communicator to start doing some research-

JACE: *CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH. it's kind of late at night, but SOMEONE or SOMETHING is tromping around outside colt's house and can be heard from most locations downstairs.*
FINN: -it's easy to hear that cronch sound and honestly, it's alarming. who would be around? isn't colt asleep? where is colt? sofia's asleep, thankfully, so finn does what any normal person would do and grabs a metal stick for the fireplace, ready to SMACK SOMEBODY if needed. it's not gonna hurt very much. he cracks open the back door-
JACE: *it's too dark to see anything aside from a silhouetted figure of a person among the trees... but does he really need to see more??*
FINN: -oh shit...that was somebody. a person. a burglar?- i have a sword i am not afraid to use it
JACE: *JUMPS INTO THE AIR and clings to a tree. arms and legs and all just. wrapped around this sucker.*
JACE: Finn??
FINN: -recognizes that voice and takes a deep breath-
FINN: oh thank god
FINN: jace what are you doing
FINN: i don't actually have a sword
FINN: that was an empty threat
JACE: Oh..... Sorry if I scared you. *says as if he isn't the one clinging to a tree in a terrified fashion.*
JACE: I dont mean to creep around... I just use Colts house as a landmarker. Ive been studying the uh... weirdness happening around here. And I think the activity might worsen at night? So... here I am.
FINN: -looks around- is there weirdness at colt's house
JACE: ... Umm. Kind of.
JACE: Havent you noticed him acting weird?
FINN: well yeah i guess
FINN: he's eating everything
FINN: i mean everything
FINN: and making weird noises
FINN: oh my god is something wrong with him
JACE: Im sure hes fine... I just think his behavior reminds me of what happened with Dove. All the... animal like traits and stuff.
JACE: Oh. *drops down from the tree he just realized he's still clinging to.*
FINN: -scratches his head slightly- oh shit
FINN: you're right
JACE: Yeah... Im just trying to figure out why stuff like this happens the way it does.
JACE: I have a theory that its connected to these ah... magical properties. Lets call them aspects.
JACE: They appear in all sorts of ancient lore all across the universe. And they tell that everyone has an aspect theyre aligned with.
JACE: And your aspect... if you can tap into it... gives you certain abilities. Maybe transformation is a characteristic of an aspect? Who knows... Maybe its something else entirely.
JACE: Its just um... *shuffles feet* A theory.
FINN: so everyone has an aspect
FINN: can you tell what people's aspects are
FINN: you're saying the magic works along with this
JACE: I dont know enough about them yet unfortunately to be able to tell you that... :(
JACE: But thats the idea, yeah!
FINN: so am i going to transform into an animal
JACE: Ummmm... *sweats* I guess I cant say that for sure either.
FINN: what about sofia
JACE: *sweats more* I really... dont... know..........
JACE: But out of everything thats happened here, none of it has been life threatening or debilitating?? Just weird!
FINN: -sighs, looking around- jace you should probably come inside
FINN: it's not exactly safe
FINN: it doesn't sound like it anyway
JACE: Oh, dont worry about me... Ive dealt with worse things! *wait... processing this opportunity...*
JACE: ....... But okay.
FINN: -moves aside for him-
FINN: come on in
FINN: it's way better in here
JACE: *shuffles over, scuffing the mud and twigs and outdoors off his boots before tromping on inside.*
JACE: C:
FINN: -closes the door behind him and gestures to the living room- you can sit wherever
FINN: do you want anything to drink
FINN: or eat
FINN: or anything
JACE: *HE WANTS SOMETHING ALRIGHT. wringes his hands a few time before he takes a seat on the couch.* Oh, thats okay... I mean I guess Im kind of thirsty.
JACE: *HHH.* For-- water.
JACE: Or soda.
JACE: Whatever you have!!!
FINN: -finn is literally just as weird so he doesn't think anything of it.- sure yeah give me a second -and he goes back into the kitchen to return with a water AND a soda just for jace. he hands them over to him- why not both am i right
JACE: ! *takes them both... and then laughs.* Oh, thanks...
JACE: I think if I drink all of this Im going to have to run to the bathroom a bunch. *takes a sip from each.*
FINN: i mean that's okay since we do have a bathroom like right there -he laughs about it a little before also sitting on the couch- hey do you want to watch something
JACE: Like... A movie? *oh jesus what ELSE would they watch? maybe a tv show... BUT IT'S ALL THE SAME.*
JACE: Sure... Okay! *sits there with these two glasses. gee, jace.*
FINN: cool -he feels pretty awake and sofia's due for waking up soon anyway so...- what kind of stuff do you like again
JACE: I like... Adventure movies. *sips, considers...*
JACE: ... And romances. *basically he likes anything cheesy.*
FINN: i can work with that -what's a good rommance adventure movie-
FINN: actually how about
FINN: the princess bride
JACE: *oh SHIT he was literally just thinking that.* Oh yeah! Thats a good one. :)
FINN: it's one of my favorites and i think it fits the bill
JACE: Lets do it. *pauses... sets his drinks down on the nearest table.*
JACE: We should make popcorn. Or have doritos... *it's either both or one of them when it's movie night at his house, and he knows colt HAS to have some here.*
FINN: good idea
FINN: i know we have both
FINN: let's do both
FINN: tonight's a both kind of night
JACE: Hehe... Okay. I can get the snacks if you want to put on the movie.
FINN: -he nods- sure
FINN: -and just like that he starts getting the movie ready-
JACE: *DRAMATICALLY THROWS POPCORN BAG IN THE MICROWAVE. everything is an adventure for jace english-strider. he dumps the doritos in a bowl while he waits for the popcorn to finish, swaying happily where he stands. a moment later he's back at the couch, setting the bowls down.*
JACE: Okay. *plops to sit again.* Im ready.
FINN: -finn is all set and smiles at jace when he comes in. he wasn't hungry before, but that popcorn makes him hungry now- me too -plays the movie-
JACE: *kicks his boots off so he can pull his legs up to his chest. he looks very cozy, watching the movie intently.* ouo
FINN: -he too is pretty relaxed but not TOO relaxed just in case the whole being a dad thing happens again. he grabs a handful of popcorn, also watching intensely-
JACE: *this is true love... do you think it happens everyday? he's casually mouthing all the words as he watches... he might have this whole thing memorized. NATURALLY, they're both so transfixed, jace doesn't notice when he reaches for popcorn at the same time.* ! *draws his hand back quickly, flustered.*
FINN: -he wouldn't have noticed that much if jace hadn't reacted but he thinks it's kind of funny. he gestures at the bowl for him to go first- as you wish
JACE: *SWEATS and scoops some popcorn.* Hehehe... *holy toledo. was he being funny or flirting? as if jace had even the slightest clue. he knows finn CAN be flirty, but he's never flirted with him before... as far as he knows. he kind of stares off blankly while he completely over analyzes this interaction.*
FINN: -finn takes a handful of popcorn right after jace has taken his and his attention is back on the movie, just like that.-
JACE: *MMMMNNN. this is so confusing. he wishes he had to guts to say something to break the (clearly one sided) tension. instead, he just SIGHS. much louder than he intended. whoops... stuffs popcorn into his face.*
FINN: -hears that sigh and looks over at jace- are you okay
JACE: Huh??? *chokes on a little bit of kernel. wheeze... guzzles down some water.*
JACE: Yes! Im... Well...
JACE: Umm... Oh, shit.
JACE: Its nothing... Dont worry about it?
FINN: -finn appears concerned- i mean i kind of already am
FINN: do you need anything
JACE: *sweats* No. No its just... *glances away* Its silly.
FINN: if it's bothering you it's probably a lot less silly than you think it is -frowns a little-
JACE: Its not bothering me!! Its just. You?? I mean. Not like... Youre bothering me. You-- Yoooouuuu?? *SOULJA BOY TELL EM*
JACE: Oh my God.
JACE: I just mean-- I like hanging out with you. Like this.
JACE: ... A lot. *dear god he hopes he takes the hint so he doesn't have to explain himself further.*
FINN: -he pauses for a moment listening to jace and analyzing what he really means by what he's saying. this sounds familiar, probably because he was in jace's position not even a week ago. he knows how hard this must be for jace, and finn cares about him, so he doesn't want to make him feel embarrassed.- really
FINN: how long have you liked hanging out with me a lot
JACE: *well too bad!! he's always embarrassed!! he rubs at his own face, hnnning.* Ummmm...
JACE: Lets just say a long time?
FINN: -he smiles reassuringly. it's cute and nice- that's really sweet jace
FINN: it means a lot that you see me in such a positive light
FINN: sometimes i feel like people hate me so i'm not fucking around when i say that it means a lot
JACE: *shoulders sag.* Yeah... Sure.
JACE: And you like hanging out with me too, right? But Im like a little brother. *sighs and glances off. he knows how this goes, because this is how he's treated. plus, he's run this scenario through his head a billion times, so HE KNOWS.*
FINN: of course i like hanging out with you jace -he understands more than jace probably realizes. he still loves him, even if it's not in a romantic way.- you have to realize that telling me like this just now is a really clear sign that you're actually mature
FINN: i think sometimes you think you're seen as a baby but
FINN: trust me the way you act speaks so much about you
FINN: you might be the youngest or the second youngest that grew up on the uu but i'm also the oldest which means i remember holding you at the very beginning
FINN: you're not a baby and you're not a kid anymore that much is true
FINN: and even if you feel like family to me that's just me
FINN: everyone else can see that you're not a kid
JACE: *wringes his hands together listening to him.* ... You think so?
FINN: yeah i mean
FINN: it's obvious to me
FINN: -he pauses for a few moments, like he's thinking before leaning over and kissing him sweetly on the cheek-
FINN: see
JACE: *heat flares up in his cheeks at the contact and he turns his head slightly to inspect finn closely with big eyes.* I know Im not a kid anymore.
JACE: There are... A lot of ways...
JACE: That Im not like a kid anymore.
FINN: -he smiles softly at him- good
FINN: remember that
JACE: *SCREAMS INTERNALLY*
JACE: Okay..........
JACE: *it's only somewhat of a relief to know he's not seen entirely like a kid. but it's kind of a bummer not feeling very attractive. he leans back against the couch, figuring he should give it up.*
FINN: -YOU ARE ATTRACTIVE GOOD LORD. he leans back too- you're cute too so
FINN: i wouldn't worry if i were you
JACE: Oh, good... Cute... *pouting a little here*
FINN: -hears his reaction and laughs a little- not like baby cute jace
FINN: like attractive cute
FINN: you know
FINN: hot
JACE: *blushes more, but he still looks kind of grumpy.* You dont have to keep humoring me...
FINN: -he laughs a little- i'm not
FINN: i wouldn't tell you that if it weren't true
JACE: Well, I dont feel very attractive...
FINN: well what would make you feel attractive
JACE: *sweats... don't leave that ball in his court, finn, it's much too embarrassing.* I dont-- I dont know...
JACE: Well,
JACE: Maybe if you told me what you found attractive about me?? I dont know.
FINN: okay that's easy -thinks about it and looks him over-
FINN: those eyes for sure
FINN: big and pretty
FINN: i also am a guy that finds freckles attractive so
FINN: there's that
FINN: you have nice legs
FINN: a unique style that shows off your body you know
FINN: some people hide it but you don't
JACE: *THIS WAS A MISTAKE. his heart is beating much too fast listening to this. he feels dizzy, and like he might do something stupid.* ... Thats pretty specific so... I guess Ill believe you. Heheh. *clears throat, scoots a little closer*
JACE: So, maybe you dont um... reciprocate... But...
JACE: You think Im attractive.
JACE: ...
JACE: And I think...
JACE: Youre attractive...
FINN: -now he's blushing a little and definitely not...looking at jace as a little brother right now. other times he might have said no or considered the consequences of what he was about to do. but he has been incredibly lonely, probably much more than he realizes. and so that's probably why he places his hand gently on jace's cheek and silently leans in. finn what the fuck are you doing-
JACE: *oh fuck OH FUCK!! his stomach is doing flips now that finn is giving him exactly the kind of attention he wanted. there's so much that's wrong about this situation... namely that this is happening under his brother's roof, who is presumably right upstairs. but jace is weak. he is so weak. and where finn handles him with care, jace is crashing forward to connect their lips enthusiastically.*
FINN: -oh okay. okay this works too. he's going to let jace take the reigns here unless he's needed because he's not even sure if jace has been with anyone before. i guess he'll find out. he just tilts his head slightly to kiss him better, hand sliding up into his hair. colt please stay asleep colt please stay asleep-
JACE: *he hasn't been with anyone, really. the opportunity has never presented itself... but that doesn't stop him from being eager, his own hands searching restlessly for some place to grab ahold, eventually gripping at his hair too. soft... the rest of him is just as jittery, squirming in closer to close the gap between them while they kiss.*
FINN: -it's been so long since he's felt anyone's lips on his, anyone's hands in his hair. it gives him chills that are enough to elicit a slight hum. this is not how he saw tonight going, but he can't complain-
JACE: *a hum is good, he thinks. a hum means he likes it... jace is warm and lively against him, and feeling more confident from a positive reaction, finn will suddenly find him relocating to sit in his lap.*
FINN: -OH HI JACE. he's okay with this. so okay that his hands are somehow now at jace's sides, running his hands along the bare skin below his crop top. THIS BOY AND HIS BOOTY SHORTS WHAT THE HELL-
JACE: *yes, he hardly leaves anything to the imagination, doesn't he? finn's hands on him has him squirming again though, a tiny giggle tumbling out of him. HE'S TICKLISH.* O-oh, sorry...
FINN: -he laughs a little at jace's reaction- haha sorry
FINN: you're ticklish huh
JACE: Yes... A little. *more like very ticklish.*
JACE: I... like that, though. Dont stop doing that.
FINN: okay -he never thought he would be in this position but here he is and here jace is ON HIS LAP. he runs his hands up and down his side again, leaning in to smooch him once and then pull away about an inch from his face with a smile-
JACE: *squeaks another laugh, but it dissolves into a shuddering hum between the warmth of finn's hands and lips. at this point, his shorts are getting as uncomfortable to be in as they are to behold, and he attempts to ease some of that ache by rolling his hips against finn's.*
FINN: -oh god help him. this is what he gets for lounging in sweatpants. he can definitely feel jace against him and that hip roll kind of makes everything worse -- in the best way. he's just going to lean forward and kiss on his neck-
JACE: Ah-- *whines from the neck kisses, quickly biting down on his lip to stifle the noises. mmmm.*
JACE: Finn... Um... Maybe we should... relocate? *glances sweatily upstairs where colt's room is. he's afraid of waking him up too...*
FINN: -pauses, talking against his skin- oh yeah that's uh
FINN: probably
FINN: a good idea
JACE: *reluctantly draws away from finn's lap, tugging at his arms. LET'S GO. but also lead him to where he should go.*
FINN: -no you lead it will be a mystery where we end up-
FINN: -jk-
FINN: -anyway-
FINN: -he actually stands and takes his hand, they can probably go to his room. while he's thinking he just kind of leans over because HE HIT HIS SHIN ON THE GODDAMN SIDE TABLE AGAIN-
FINN: -WHO IS MOVING THIS-
FINN: oh fuck
JACE: O_O *eep! murmurs to him.* Are you okay??
FINN: -grits his teeth- uh huh yep -he winces as he leads jace back to his room-
JACE: *FOLLOWS, still holding onto his arm, all sorts of jittery.*
FINN: -when they reach his room, he closes the door behind them. everything's pretty neat in here, but we're not in here to look at the decor- is this better
JACE: Yes. *immediately clings to him again, throwing his arms around his shoulders and going in for another kiss.*
FINN: -he pulls him in, kissing him to match jace's fervor, and good thing his floor is clean because he's backing up toward his bed-
JACE: *once they're close enough, jace is JUMPING him, and he intends to tackle finn to the bed. OOF.*
FINN: -AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
FINN: -jace is surprisingly successful. his back hits the bed and he laughs a little- whoa hey
JACE: *grins bashfully down at him.* Heheh... Sorry... Are you alright? *settled on his lap again.*
FINN: no it's cool -he giggles a little and looks up at him- are you okay
JACE: Yes... Im great. *gazes at him, all starry eyed, and picks up where they left off with the make outs and the HIP GYRATIONS.*
FINN: -this is nice and fun and his hands are going down his sides again and he's trying to be careful and respectful and not trying to go any faster or farther than jace wants to but it's...difficult. HE IS TRYING-
JACE: *don't even try, because jace sure isn't trying, running his palms under finn's shirt and up his stomach.*
FINN: -jace's hands have a nice texture to him and he has to inhale through his nose at the feeling because his mouth is pretty occupied. he might be allowing his hands to roam further down his hips-
JACE: *well if he keeps following that path, he'll find the shape of something barely contained in these little shorts of his. and regardless of what finn's hands are doing, jace is interuppting it by greedily moving to remove finn's shirt.*
FINN: -well hi there. he feels jace attempting to take off his shirt and it only makes sense that he help them. he keeps kissing jace between the process, and he's making it a little difficult but he helps him get his shirt off and kind of leans up to press up against him and pull him down-
JACE: *happily lies against him, relishing the feeling of finn's skin against his own exposed belly. with his arms around finn's shoulders, he starts to roll them into switched positions with his own back to the bed, peppering in more kisses whenever he gets the chance.*
FINN: -when jace rolls them over, he closes his eyes to relish these kisses and the feeling of just...being loved on is comforting. despite the fact that jace's outfit doesn't leave much to the imagination, he still wants jace's top off, too. so it's his turn to lean back a little and push it up with a grin-

JACE: *jace might be a nervous nelly, but when it comes to scientific and magical discoveries, he's almost TOO adventurous. despite his better judgement, he's been venturing deeper into the avalon forests, bugging trees with cameras to detect strange phenomenon, and other devices to pick up whatever the cameras can't. he's planning on leaving soon before it gets too late... but just ONE more camera.*
KOUGAH: *The cameras may not catch something but there's a loud ribbit at all this bugging and stepping about. The frog watches with all three eyes. All three solid blue eyes*
JACE: ... *looks around for the source of the ribbit. it's just a frog, right?? nothing to worry about, but he's got a bad feel anyway. and he feels justified when he catches a glimpse of three spooky blue eyes. time to carefully... slowly... climb down from this tree...*
KOUGAH: *No need to leave. Here's another frog. Two more. Five..... ten sets of spooky eyes. And then a much larger set of three eyes on the ground. Staring up at Jace.*
KOUGAH: *RIBBIT, but you know.... in a satanic fashion*
KOUGAH: *the nearest frog is gonna give him a good frenching on the arm with a poison tongue*
JACE: O_O AH!
JACE: *tries to hop out of the way, but alas, he's tongued.* Eeewwww... *and ow? the pain is apparently an afterthought, giving way to a small yelp and a punt of his boot in a frog's direction before he tries to make a break for it. sorry, nature.*
KOUGAH: *This is an extremely rude child meal, one frog is punted away but there are at least 14 more plus the Big Mamma. The frogs jump from tree to tree, wanting to slorp up Jace's spiritual essense. After the adrenaline fades his arm is going to sting and burn like heck. Like a frost burn. More tongues lick out at his legs. This is what happens when you wear shorts in the forest*
JACE: *oh yeah?? well his adrenaline is ALWAYS pumping, take THAT frogs. he can and will run from most everything in life. but in reality, it's hard to maintain momentum when he's being assaulted as he is. he makes an attempt to fight while he flights, turning to deflect tongues with swords.*
KOUGAH: *Can he deflect the Big Mamma tongue though? She jabs it out at him. Let Mamma slorp ya boy*
JACE: *doubtful, as the frog tongue does it's frog tongue thing and congeals around his sword. there it goes. and there he goes, yanked because he doesn't want to lose his sword. YOINK.* ACK!
KOUGAH: *Swords don't belong in mouths but it's worth it as her babies can now feast on boy fleshence. Or so they thought. Here comes the Awoo Crew. Lorge wolves springing on the boy fleshence to protect it. The awoos are covered with rock and moss and bark with yellow blank eyes of their own. they bite. A small tornado at the heels of a neon painted Koug arrive. Somehow his sweat doesn't effect the paint
KOUGAH: in the grooves of his musculature*
JACE: *wow okay, but the grooves of his musculature are sure effecting jace's sweat. IT'S HAPPENING. but everything else is also happening as he's swarmed by wolves, too... to protect him? he's confused, unsure of what's happening right now.* K... Kougah??
KOUGAH: *flexes gently at being mentioned, he's crouched partially and glances to Jace* ...Hell0.... pard0n me. *growls with the pack at the frogs. Sorry Jace he knows this is exremely rude but it's necessary*
JACE: *oh, that's just... that's just FINE. he's overwhelmed by everything and decides to quit squirming and struggling with the frogs now that the wolves are also here to FIGHT. he sits. right on the forest floor. the sting of his skin finally catching up to him.*
KOUGAH: *The frogs are chased back whythe awoos so Koug looks to Jace.... stoops.* Y0u were 1njured. Hm. That 1s expected....
KOUGAH: 1f. 1 may.
KOUGAH: *holds out hand*
JACE: *SHINY EYED... he places his hand in kougah's.*
KOUGAH: *Oh.... he wanted the whole arm. Um. Sweats. Okay. He just. Looks it over and digs in his fur fanny pack also known as his loincloth.* Th1s 1s n0th1ng ser10us. Th0ugh y0u w0n't feel y0ur arm t0m0rr0w 1t w0n't bec0me encase w1th black fr0st.
JACE: ... I wont feel my arm???
KOUGAH: N0. 1 ap0l0g1ze th1s 1s the best 1 can d0. *Produces a small jar and rubs salve on the frost burn*
JACE: Oh....... Sorry, I dont mean to sound like I dont appreciate it...
JACE: Because I do! A lot. Temporary numbness is definitely preferable to um... Black frost. *watches him LATHER HIM UP... and then glances away.*
KOUGAH: *Please..... but also he's wheezing internally he doesn't deserve touching this precious creature with his filthy rough peasant paws. Hands. Paws.* Yes... true.
KOUGAH: ....
KOUGAH: 1f they d1d k1ll y0u y0u w0uld be rev1ved as 0ne 0f them.
KOUGAH: An essence t0ad.
KOUGAH: That 1s the name 0f the creature.
JACE: *stares at him with wide eyes.* ... /Oh./
JACE: Then Im especially grateful?? I dont think I would have made it without you...
JACE: Thank you. Really.
KOUGAH: *Grateful? But he was injured. Truly Jace is too forgiving and kind. He goes blue under the lines of neon paint on his face* 1f y0u 1ns1st 0n thank1ng me.... then 1 am deeply apprec1at1ve.
KOUGAH: 1 w1ll d0 my best t0 serv1ce y0u t0 the best 0f my ab1l1t1es.
JACE: Service... Me... *stares at him some more. don't mind him if his mind wanders for a second.*
JACE: Thanks!! Again!! Hahaha!!
JACE: Am I saying thank you too much?? Im sorry!!
JACE: Aaahhh... Should my arm be feeling numb now?? It feels numb. Actually everything feels numb. Wait, thats probably just me. Nevermind.
KOUGAH: *Tilts head, he wonders if Jace is considering his competence. He doesn't blame him* N0 need t0 be s0rry.
KOUGAH: But 1f y0u are numb all0w me t0 help y0u h0me....1f y0u d0 n0t m1nd.
JACE: No!! I mean yes.
JACE: If you insist??? Also because I probably need it. *he's had a difficult day... he feels weak.*
KOUGAH: 1 d0.... Pard0n my hands. And self. *He's sorry. But scoops and stands* May 1 1nqu1re what y0u were d01ng th1s deep 1n the f0rest?
JACE: *WHOOP there he goes. he curls up a little in kougah's arms, fists balled up against his chest.* Oh... I was putting in some cameras and things.
JACE: So that I could monitor the activity here when I cant... physically be here.
JACE: Which I guess should be most of the time... I know its dangerous and all but I really want to understand how this stuff works!
KOUGAH: *Looks at him briefly.... tries to not sweat.... fails* 1 see.....
KOUGAH: 1 adm1re y0ur 1n1tat1ve.
JACE: *blinks up at him* Really? You dont think its... reckless?
KOUGAH: 1t 1s. But we learn thr0ugh s0me reckless dec1s10ns we make.
KOUGAH: We may als0 get ma1med but. That's why 1t's.
KOUGAH: Reckless.
KOUGAH: S0 1 apprec1ate y0ur th1rst f0r kn0wledge.
KOUGAH: Alth0ugh 1 d0 h0pe y0u are careful.
JACE: *well, dang, if he wasn't flushed before...* Hehehe uh... I do try to be careful! I think Im used to danger enough by now that I can usually get out of it.
JACE: I dont usually deal with spirit creatures, though...
KOUGAH: 1 can teach y0u 1f y0u'd l1ke.
KOUGAH: M0stly hands 0n teach1ngs.
KOUGAH: As 1 am st1ll l00k1ng f0r Y0y0.
KOUGAH: K1k1y0.
KOUGAH: The p0stal w0rker.
JACE: *HANDS ON... but then he brings up kikiyo, and he puts those thoughts to rest.* Right... Well, thats fine. Whatever you can do, Id really appreciate.
JACE: Hey... Ive been wondering...
JACE: You said she isnt missing... But I heard that there have been other disappearances around here? Do you know if thats true?
KOUGAH: .....Yes. There are 0thers that have g0ne m1ss1ng. *gently flex.... he'd rather not think of her as missing... just. Goofing off somewhere*
JACE: Oh... *he goes quiet, figuring it's probably not something he wants to think about. but he's curious what he knows. maybe he can help?*
JACE: Do you know if theres anything connecting the disappearances?
KOUGAH: There l1kely are.... but 1 can't track the scents 1f there 1s a culpr1t.
KOUGAH: There are... s0 many pe0ple 1n and 0ut 0f the f0rest n0w.
KOUGAH: Th1s c0ntract all0ws pe0ple 1nt0 the w00ds. The superf1c1al levels... but pe0ple take a m1le w1th every 1nch all0wed.
KOUGAH: Many 1 have had t0 turn back.
KOUGAH: 1t 1s frustrat1ng.
JACE: Oh... *now he feels guilty for wandering around like he does.* That sounds stressful... Im sorry.
JACE: Maybe my cameras will find something?
KOUGAH: 1t 1s n0t y0ur d01ng. N0 need t0 ap0l0g1ze..... but cameras...
KOUGAH: Yes.
KOUGAH: That... 1s helpful.
KOUGAH: 1t's shameful 1 had n0t th0ught 0f that.
KOUGAH: *looks down to him* Thank y0u.
JACE: Its okay! Youve had a lot on your mind. Hehe... Sometimes these things dont occur to me immediately either when they should. *smiles up at him reassuringly. he just hopes they find all these poor people... he wonders if the search and rescue team is investigating it? as a skaianet heir, he really should be on top of these things...*
KOUGAH: H0w understand1ng y0u are... *Not sarcastic just... these people amaze him*
KOUGAH: Thank y0u f0r the undeserved reassurance.
JACE: *blinks* Its not undeserved! Youve helped me a bunch. Reassurance is really the least I can do...
KOUGAH: 1f y0u 1ns1st.... pard0n. 1 am n0t cast1ng a l1ne f0r y0ur attent10ns. 1 am 0nly be1ng honest.
KOUGAH: Y0u seem t0 be a k1nd pers0n. S0 1 kn0w y0u are be1ng genu1ne.
KOUGAH: 1 w1ll n0t ask y0u t0 st0p but rather let y0u bec0me aware 0f the d1fferences between us. 1t 1s 0nly r1ght.
JACE: *he really doesn't understand... how could someone so cool and heroic like kougah feel the way he does?* I dont understand...
KOUGAH: *hums deeply while walking, headed for the telepads* S1mply put: 1 bel1eve y0u are a w0ndr0us creature. 0ne that 1s grac10us en0ugh t0 all0w me 1n y0ur presense.
KOUGAH: Alth0ugh 1 am pleased t0 kn0w 1've been 0f s0mewhat g00d use t0 y0u.
JACE: *heat floods his face again, leaving him speechless after that. but he notices they're almost to the telepads.*
JACE: I dont know what to say... No ones ever referred to me as wondrous or gracious before...
JACE: I just know I think youre very nice.
JACE: ... And cool.
JACE: And... I wont make you carry me anymore. I can make it the rest of the way home.
KOUGAH: 0h... *Sweats.... sorry about dampening your clothes Jace. That makes him sweat more* .... P1ty. That they d0n't d0 that.
KOUGAH: They sh0uld.
KOUGAH: *puts him down gently and steps back still blue in the cheek area. clears throat* Well.
KOUGAH: 1. h0pe y0u feel better.
KOUGAH: And y0ur arm isn't numb f0r the full 16 h0urs 1 ant1c1pate.
KOUGAH: Maybe. 1t w0n't be.
JACE: Yeah... *bashful feet shuffling.* Thanks, Kougah.
JACE: Ill see you around, okay? *smiles goofily, then ducks his head... and then absconds quickly through the transportalizer, screaming internally.*
KOUGAH: *Oh.....same about internal screams. Wolfs into the night and wheezes*

JACE: *KNOCK KNOCK. jace is here at colt's place. he wanted to check in on his brother after what happened... that was pretty harsh, and since jace has been popping in on odimist a lot lately to study the weird phenomenons anyway... two birds with one stone? unfortunately for him, colt isn't home right now. who knows where he is. but jace doesn't know that yet as he rocks back and forth on his heels out side the door.*
FINN: -he's not sure who that would be, and part of him is hoping that it's not joel because he isn't exactly prepared to fight AT THE MOMENT. but as he opens it, he sees jace and it's a relief- oh hi
JACE: *waves, looking sheepish.* Hi Finn! Is Colt home...?
FINN: -looks back even though he knows the answer- sorry no
FINN: he went out a while ago
JACE: Oh... *stands there for a second, not really sure what to do with himself if colt isn't here. because... then he should probably see joel, but joel will probably get defensive about him visiting and thinking about that makes him anxious.*
JACE: :(
FINN: -he pauses and his expression softens a little- you can hang out if you want
FINN: it's just me and sofia so
JACE: *perks up a little* Oh...! Well, okay... Thanks. Heh.
JACE: I havent had the chance to meet her yet.
FINN: -he did put her down in her crib to answer the door- yeah sure
FINN: she needs to meet more people anyway
FINN: -steps aside for him to come in-
JACE: c:
JACE: *shuffles inside, looking all around even though he's been here plenty of times.* It looks... nice. In here. *why is he like this. immediately regrets speaking.*
FINN: i'd like to take credit for some of it but i can't -he kind of laughs about it. he doesn't think jace is awkward at all he just thinks he's being jace. he goes to get sophia from her crib and comes right back out- so this is her
JACE: *peeps at her, his hands clasped together* Wow... Shes really cute.
JACE: Hello Sofia.
JACE: Im Jace.
FINN: do you see jace sofia -he grins and turns so sofia can see him- that's jace
FINN: he thinks you're really cute
JACE: *peers a little closer* Its true... Most babies are cute, but I would go so far as to say youre especially cute.
FINN: -sofia just stares at jace confused at what all this means. he feigns a surprised voice and gasps with a smile- sofia he just said you're especially cute
FINN: -sofia in turn looks up at finn and smiles a toothless smile for a good few seconds-
JACE: *oh....... clenches fist, holding it to his mouth to contain a strained squeaky noise.*
JACE: ;_;
JACE: Thats... TOO cute...
FINN: i know it's basically illegal right
JACE: Its super illegal!! Hehe... *this is pretty nice... smiles between sofia and finn.*
FINN: -looks over at jace- do you want to hold her
JACE: Huh?? *lurches back a little bit, hands up to his chest* Oh, geez. Thats okay. I dont really know how to hold a baby...
FINN: i mean if that's the only thing keeping you back i can show you no problem
FINN: after you wash your hands anyway
JACE: *why did he have to phrase it like that... he's mostly just afraid of fucking it up and dropping her, but now he HAS to try because finn is offering to help.* ... Okay.
JACE: *shimmies over to the kitchen so he can wash his hands, gazing ahead and trying not to get too nervous.*
FINN: -watches jace go and cuddles sofia while he waits- you can sit down when you're done and i'll show you
JACE: OKAY. *says too loudly despite just being in the other room. okay, alright. alright, okay. he's ready... he scurries back in and basically throws himself to sit on the couch.*
FINN: -he grins and sits next to him, turned toward him a little.- okay so you see how my arms are
FINN: do that and we'll start from there
JACE: *nods rapidly and then sweatily immitates him* Like this?
FINN: yeah just like that
FINN: perfect
FINN: -he carefully hands over a squirming sofia and just takes it upon himself to slide jace's hands where they need to go so he's holding her correctly-
JACE: *heat creeps into his head and soaks into his brain feeling finn's hands on his own, but he tries to fight through the haze to keep this baby secure in his arms. it isn't quite as difficult as he thought it would be, and the weight of her is enough to keep him grounded rather than freaking out and he stares down at her with big eyes.*
JACE: Hello again.
FINN: -he's not thinking about how close he's still sitting to jace because he's focused on sofia and how she looks up at jace and responds with staring and making an "uh" sound at him-
FINN: hi baby
JACE: *well, that is slightly distracting... keep it together, JACE.* Yeah... Uh. I understand completel. Hahaha...
JACE: **completely
FINN: -finn laughs at that comment- i know she's incredibly verbose
JACE: Its okay... Im not much of a conversationalist either. But at least you have a good excuse. You dont know any words yet. Hehe.
FINN: -leans back a little so he's not hovering too much- you're doing good
FINN: she seems comfortable
JACE: She does? *glances at finn, blinking in surprise.*
FINN: well yeah
FINN: she's not crying
JACE: Oh... Yeah. I guess thats how Id define comfort for me too.
JACE: Not crying.
FINN: she actually looks like she might fall asleep
JACE: Aw... *wait... what does he do with her when she's asleep. sweats about it.* Should I... hold onto her still then? Or should I give her back??
FINN: -he shrugs- it's up to you
FINN: you can hold her or i can hold her
FINN: i don't think she cares much
FINN: -checks his communicator real quick and furrows his eyebrows in concern before typing SOMETHING-
JACE: *blinks at him* ... Um. Is something wrong?
FINN: -pauses for a moment- hey how do you feel about babysitting
FINN: like right now
FINN: a hundred dollars an hour or something
JACE: *STARES AT HIM, eyes big as saucers* Wha????? Why?
FINN: something's up with colt and sofia can't go but it can be you or me and i'm worried if it's something medical i should be there because it sounds bad but jack's vague as always why the fuck is he so vague all the time
JACE: UM... *this is a lot to process at once, but he nods rapidly. it's urgent, and it involves his brother.* I can stay!
JACE: *she's about to go to sleep anyway, right??? he hopes.*
FINN: okay uh uh
FINN: just mmmmm i'll keep you updated and if she wakes up or if she gets fussy just call me i'll walk you through whatever you're going to do great
JACE: *flustered by the praise. BUT NOW ISN'T THE TIME. he just nods more.* Okay! Okay... Ive got this.
FINN: thank you jace i
FINN: i owe you a lot
FINN: -glances at sofia one last time before SPRINTING out the door and literally running all the way to where jack said to go-

-- trenchantDynamo [TD] began pestering devicefulFlightrisk [DF] at 15:56 --
TD: Hi Jace. How arrre you doing?
DF: Oh hey Rammie! This is a surprise...
DF: Im okay. Are you okay?
DF: Or... are you also okay?
DF: How are you???
TD: I'm fine. Nothing noteworrrthy going on.
TD: It's a nice day, I've been wanderrring Skaia.
TD: A little windy though.
TD: I only wanted to see how you werrre doing, at the parrrty I rrrealized it's been a while since I saw you.
TD: Possibly longerrr since we spoke.
DF: Yeah... I dont make myself available much, I guess.
TD: That's fine. Sometimes it is easierrr to be on yourrr own.
TD: That's something I can underrrstand.
TD: Having perrrsonal time is verrry rrrefrrreshing.
TD: But I do hope you'rrre enjoying the time you have morrre often than not.
DF: I do! Well... Mostly. I think.
DF: Im usually working. Which I enjoy!
DF: I was on Avalon the other day... I was using my drone to take pictures of the forests but umm. When I was flying it back to me it got punched.
DF: Oh, but Joel probably told you about that...
TD: ....no.
TD: Who punched you?
TD: Why werrrrrrrrre you punched?
DF: Ummmmm... Ohhhhh...
DF: I wasnt punched... Well, okay, I was but...
DF: First my drone was punched and I hollered about it.
DF: And Joel also happened to be here so he was like... !
DF: And then we noticed it was... Orphus who did the drone punching?
DF: So...
DF: Joel tackled him.
DF: And they started fighting.
DF: And then I jumped on them to try to stop it??
DF: And then Dennab flew in with a shovel.
DF: And... He broke up the fight.
DF: Not with the shovel?? I should clarify.
TD: Oh that.
TD: Yes. I had hearrrrrrrrrd about that.
TD: I'm sorrrrrry about yourrr drrrone though.
DF: Oh thank goodness...
DF: Its okay. I fixed it pretty quickly!
DF: How is Joel doing though...?
TD: He's fine. Well. Still angrrry.
TD: Forrr a few rrreasons.
TD: But He'll be ok. I'm watching him.
TD: Don't you worrrrrry.
DF: Mmm... Okay...
DF: Have you talked to Finn lately? How is he?
DF: And Colt... And Little?
DF: Because theyre all on Odimist with you. And they live together. So it makes sense to ask about all of them at the same time and not just one of them.
TD: Um. Well.
TD: Things arrre happening a bit but nothing to concerrrn yourrrself too heavily with.
TD: Arrre you awarrre of Colt and Joel's, um. Standing?
TD: With one anotherrr?
DF: You mean, how theyve been fighting passive aggressively forever?
TD: Yes. That exactly.
TD: They rrran into each otherrr last night.
TD: And it was a thing.
DF: Uh oh.
DF: Did something bad happen? :(
TD: They didn't fight with theirrr hands so it's something but they didn't get along eitherrr and seem to agrrree only on them not being able to make amends.
TD: Which is stupid.
DF: Its very dumb... And it makes things awkward for everyone...
DF: I dont even know what theyre fighting about at this point...
TD: It's prrrobably them just being overrrly stubborrrn at this point.
TD: It's been farrr too long.
TD: I rrreally want them to get togetherrr and make some decent converrrsation.
TD: But I need to talk to Joel extensively beforrre that happens.
TD: Laterrr I'll. See if Finn can do the same forrr Colt.
TD: Orrr.
TD: I'll just talk to him myself.
DF: It might... help if you talked to him too? I feel like Colt and Finn have probably already talked about it a lot... Um... Just a hunch...
TD: Trrrue.
TD: Hm.
TD: I don't want to make things seem unfairrr. But maybe I should talk to them at the same time.
TD: I think I can be a fairrr judge.
DF: Yeah! I think you can probably do that too.
DF: But... good luck.
DF: I mean... genuinely?
DF: Not like. Yeah GOOD LUCK.
DF: With sarcastic overtones.
TD: Hehe. I apprrreciate yourrr non-sarrrcastic vote of confidence.
TD: I will take it as such. :P
DF: Thats a relief...
DF: I just want things to work out with them too.
TD: As do I.... it's. Sad but also tirrresome.
TD: And by sad I mean. Not :( sad.
TD: Well that too.
TD: But mostly the kind that you squint a little at.
DF: Right? Hehe...
DF: Its nice that you understand...
DF: But of course you would... You and your family have always been really close to ours...
TD: Yes we have. And that makes me happy. Especially to see you all doing well and explorrring things forrr yourrrselves.
TD: Although it also makes me upset to see you behaving poorrrly.
TD: Not you perrrsonally.
TD: You'rrre verrry good.
DF: :D
TD: Oh. That being said. I noticed you speaking with Finn again at the Valentine's charrrity event.
DF: Um... Oh??? Was I???
DF: Doing that???
TD: Yes, you werrre. Which is considerrrably good. I'm glad to see that happen.
TD: Has it been a while since you spoke to him?
DF: Yes... I didnt really talk to him much while he was away on Earth...
TD: Neitherrr did I, which is a shame but him being back leaves a lot of opporrrtunities.
DF: Opportunities?
DF: Wait.
DF: To talk.
DF: Yes.
TD: Of courrrse. Talking is imporrrtant to rrreally getting rrreconnected and knowing a perrrson.
DF: Yeah! Thats true...
DF: Id like to reconnect with him...
TD: Would you like some help in arrrrrranging that? I know some places arrround Skaia.
TD: Depending on wherrre you think you might like to go.
DF: Huh? Arranging someplace to meet?
DF: ... Yeah...
DF: I could probably use some help with that...
TD: Alrrright, I can help with that.
TD: I can send you some potential arrreas.
TD: Since you'll both be focusing on talking but maybe something with activities also.
TD: To keep busy.
DF: Oh! Thats... a good idea...
DF: You are really good at this.
DF: What kind of activities, though? I cant really think of anything appropriate.
DF: Like!! Appropriate for this situation.
DF: I mean... Wow.
DF: I guess theres no good way to salvage that.
TD: Hehe it's fine I get what you mean.
TD: If you mean it anotherrr way then I apprrreciate the enthusiasm but I suggest waiting a bit.
TD: But that's alrrright too.
DF: Oh no............
TD: Is that an "oh, no..." orrr an actual "oh no....".
DF: BOTH...
TD: Heh, I see. Sorrrrrry.
TD: It's kind of cute.
TD: Morrre than kind of.
TD: But I'll stop.
DF: PLEASE...
TD: :)
TD: We must also spend time togetherrr when you can.
TD: I enjoy talking to you.
TD: But I also feel as though I've held you up long enough so I'll let you go beforrre I tease furrrtherrr.
DF: Oh. Yes, okay.
DF: We can get together later I guess and plan more things.
TD: I'll brrring a notebook with me. We'll discuss apprrroprrriateness then.
