Oh wow, poor kid. Is he okay until he gets new ones? I hope you got those kids expelled. They're a danger to everyone else there.

Who doesn't like pizza?

He's got black eyes and he can't hear a word going on around him, so he's not doing the best. I haven't heard the house so quiet in a while. Well, nto since my implants broke a few months back.

[shipitsupersonic]

That's terrible. Is there anything I can do to help? You sound exhausted.

[protective_logic]

There really isn't. I'm just hoping to get enough rest.

[shipitsupersonic]

Okay. I'll call you tomorrow, see how you're doing.

[protective_logic]

Thanks. That's really kind.

Meet me for ice cream? I have something for your brother.

[protective_logic]

Huh? I... I'm not sure I can right now. Things are busy as hell at home and I don't think Omega will appreciate me ducking out.

Meggymegmeg can't do for an hour what you do all the time?

[protective_logic]

An hour is nearly the round trip time alone. And with a deaf child in the house? Not easily. Can... How late is the place open?

[shipitsupersonic]

It's open until ten. Is there somewhere closer to your house?

And tell Meggymegmeg that I, a complete stranger that can't hear his excuses, am very disappointed in him.

[protective_logic]

I can meet you there around nine-twenty. I can probably get out of here once we put the smallest to bed. Can that work?

[shipitsupersonic]

It works for me. Sounds like you need a break.

[protective_logic]

I do. So badly. But I don't know...

Maybe I'll get a quart of ice cream when I get there. To bring home.
