catnik 9:54pm
"So... maybe, okay. Nadeen, too."
earldebuke 9:55pm
A nod "I think you're choosing to be kind."
catnik 9:56pm
"She's not that bad."
catnik 9:56pm
"...She's nicer than Tanya."
earldebuke 9:58pm
"I think you might be right" He says "And I was actually approving. Kind is not weakness. Indeed, the kinder someone is, the braver and stronger they probably are"
catnik 9:58pm
"Kind is still weird."
earldebuke 9:59pm
"Oh yeah" He nods "Agreed there. But weird is good sometimes"
catnik 9:59pm
She nods. "It's usually not... it usually doesn't make much sense, you know? You don't get anything for it, exactly."
catnik 10:00pm
"But... but it doesn't usually cost much, neither."
earldebuke 10:00pm
He nods
catnik 10:06pm
"So. Cake and popcorn and movie... don't know if we need much more party. And..." a gusty sigh. "Homework on saturday."
earldebuke 10:07pm
He nods
earldebuke 10:07pm
Not always a talker, her dad
catnik 10:08pm
A nod back, resigned.
earldebuke 10:20pm
"You'll make it. You're doing fine" He says gently. "Oh, our former guest? betty? "
catnik 10:23pm
"Yeah?"
earldebuke 10:23pm
"She's got a foster parent"
catnik 10:24pm
Dagmar grimaces. "Yeah?"
earldebuke 10:24pm
"Yeah... here in Bergen"
catnik 10:24pm
She brightens. "Yeah?"
earldebuke 10:26pm
"Yup. " He sighs "guess it means catapults and ballistas will be littering the place"
catnik 10:27pm
"Do you know who? Are they kinain?"
earldebuke 10:29pm
"yes" He says
catnik 10:30pm
"In Rivervale, or, like... Teaneck or...?"
catnik 10:30pm
"Maybe she'll get a phone!"
earldebuke 10:30pm
"Pretty sure she'll at least have a landline" He says
catnik 10:33pm
"Those are NOT the same. You have to talk to them on a landline."
catnik 10:33pm
"You can text on a phone."
earldebuke 10:33pm
"Mmmph." He says
catnik 10:33pm
"Or message. Or snapchat. Lots of things."
earldebuke 10:33pm
"Do people really need those things?"
catnik 10:35pm
"But that's how you talk to people."
earldebuke 10:39pm
"Mmm?" he looks at her "it's not how we talk"
catnik 10:40pm
"Well, no. But, like, kids?"
catnik 10:40pm
"Nobody wants to talk on the phone."
earldebuke 10:41pm
"Well, we'll find out when her birthday is, and if she doesn't have one that texts, we have a present idea don't we?"
catnik 10:42pm
"True! I mean, my phone isn't smart, but it texts okay."
earldebuke 10:42pm
A nod
earldebuke 10:50pm
"So, a gift is picked for her birthday whenver that is.. and "
earldebuke 10:50pm
Tove comes in "Hi, so sorry."
catnik 10:50pm
"Hey Tove!"
earldebuke 10:51pm
"You were a bit late" He says "Everything okay?"
earldebuke 10:52pm
"Yes yes... just a bit of a ..well, got into an argument" She shrugs
catnik 10:53pm
Stormclouds. "A fight? What happened?"
earldebuke 10:53pm
"Not a fight, an argument" She waves it off.
catnik 10:55pm
"Argument with who? Somebody being a jerk?"
earldebuke 10:56pm
Jaymes raises a brow
earldebuke 10:57pm
"Oh both of you... " She fusses
earldebuke 10:57pm
"I didn't say anything" Jaymes says
earldebuke 10:57pm
"You did the eyebrow thing. Ask Dagmar, she'll tell you it counts" Tove says
