Re: 9:45 - Kent & Malik
The sage nod that Kent gave the younger man went on just a little bit too long. "They love me, but they don't really love each other. Well, they love each other, but they don't love each other. Not like they love me. Like friends' love, but with benefits. And me. They get me. And they love me. And I love them. And it's complicated and I don't even know how that works." He made a face. "Why am I telling you this? You're, like, twelve. Don't you have a curfew? Or a bedtime? Where are the other interns? Go hang out and do whatever interns do at these kinds of things. Did you crash the gala? Bold moves, young Padawan."
Rolling his head back to look up at the stars again, he shrugged a shoulder. "It's not like it's hard. You just divide the sky into quadrants. It only took me half an hour, and I got about 80 percent of the sky done. You just have to get your thoughts organized. This has been my valuable life lesson to you: make sure your own house is in order before you try to tackle someone else's." Thinking, perhaps, that going to see Cate and Tony was actually a really great idea, he got back to his feet and sent the remaining pile of rocks back to the surface of the pool with a tiny flick of his wand. "Oh, the cleverness of me. I'm going to find the two loveliest people on the planet and tell them how much I love them. Glad I thought of that."
