What do you want?

Comments

[protective_logic]

The family would definitely remark on that. I think I'll just put it in the closet or something. After trying to explain that I still want to be friends, I don't want to return it to him. That wouldn't go well.

[shipitsupersonic]

What do you wish he'd gotten you? Now that you guys are friends?

[protective_logic]

I don't even know anymore. I just... I wish none of this happened. I wish I was never involved with him. That would be easier.

I wish he would have given me something that made everything hurt less. Or something completely meaningless. Or nothing. Nothing would have worked.

gdi Delta that does not help TC get something for you

[shipitsupersonic]

I'm sorry. I don't know how to make things hurt less.

Have you ever seen Star Wars?

He didn't know you wanted that, he's just being emotional

[protective_logic]

Yep. Omega is the biggest sort of old earth culture nerd. We've seen it a number of times. I think he got a set of the whole thing for a friend.

Re: He didn't know you wanted that, he's just being emotional

[shipitsupersonic]

I'll have to think of something else to distract you then. How do you feel about bread?

[protective_logic]

Did you miss me bringing garlic bread as a treat to a movie? But seriously, I enjoy it.

[shipitsupersonic]

Have you ever had challah bread?

[protective_logic]

I confess that I've never heard of it.

[shipitsupersonic]

And I've never baked it. We can figure it out together.

[protective_logic]

Thank you, TC. I think I'd enjoy doing that. Sometime after the new year? What do I need to bring to help you make it? How do I spell it so I can research it?

[shipitsupersonic]

Do you have a really big bowl? And do you know where baking yeast comes from? The only yeast I've heard of, well, I wouldn't want to cook with it even if I had it.

[protective_logic]

Yes I can get yeast and a big bowl. I can get the flour too if you want.

[shipitsupersonic]

Apparently it's supposed to be high-gluten. Do you know what that means?

[protective_logic]

Yeah I do. Comes with being a parent. I'll see to the flour, yeast and a large bowl. Can you get the other ingredients.

[shipitsupersonic]

Of course. At least, I can wander lost in the grocery store until someone cute rescues me. 💚

[protective_logic]

It will have to be someone else. When my family moves I won't be using that store anymore.

[shipitsupersonic]

You're moving? How far? Are you...at least staying in town?

[protective_logic]

Not too far. Just a fifteen minute drive from our old house, but that is still some distance in this city I suppose. Different school district for Theta at least. And yeah, I'm staying in town.

And even if I wasn't, we'd be penpals, TC. I promise.

[shipitsupersonic]

Good. I'd hate to lose my best friend. You have a house picked out and everything? Will you need help moving?

[protective_logic]

Good to know someone would miss me if I was gone.

We do have the house picked out, Omega is working on the loan and the initial offer, which we've been assured will be accepted after some negotiation, and...

I don't know if he'll trust you enough to let you help. And you can't help moving without having to be seriously bogged down with little children, which I know you don't want. So don't worry, there won't be beer based bribing. I think that's traditional. Not sure though.

[shipitsupersonic]

Well, if you need help, call me. And if you don't need help, come over afterwards and we can drink until I tell you why I don't want little kids hanging off of me. I wish you good luck and no roaches.

[protective_logic]

After I'll be unpacking. So I don't think drinking will happen.

[shipitsupersonic]

After you unpack. You can come over and I'll drink until I can tell you that I don't hate your kids.

I hope Theta likes his new school.

[protective_logic]

You just dislike children in general and or do not want to be around them. This is an understandable and widely held stance in the world.
