Hi.
Hey, handsome. How are you doing?
I’m doing alright. Bored. You?
Ditto. Got stuck leveling on Final Fantasy. So... yeah! Calling you.
Really? Final Fantasy? I’m surprised you’re not out on the town doing... something...
Like what? I really never go out of town... Gee, that makes me boring, doesn’t it?
As boring as me, I guess. I swear I feel like the only guy in New York that has to stay in on Friday night.
Well, not too much longer before that can change, yeah?
Yep. Just fifty-two or so more excruciatingly boring Fridays to go.
Well, you might look back at them with fondness. Who knows? It’s not like we have boring lives, over all.
True. At least the brats are in bed, so there’s that.
/Chuckle./ Aw, they’re not so bad. Trust me. I’ve babysat some wild kids before. Your bros are tame.
If you say so. /muffled knock./ Hold on a sec. /Sounds of receiver against fabric./ Yeah mom... I’m on the phone... no, I don’t need anything washed. /Phone being adjusted back./ Sorry. She’s been like a hawk ever since she caught me out of the house that Friday a couple weeks ago.
/Moment of quiet/ Is... are they going to be okay when they find out about us?
Us? Like us us or headband and leather pants us?
Oh. I meant us us, but I suppose the other is legitimate, too, huh?/Sounds of digging in cupboard/
Are you eating? And no, I’m not dodging the question.
/Blatant ignoring of question./... Right, I think you are. /Crunching, munching sounds./ But... Lettin’ it slide. So, we haven’t done movies in a while.
/pause for a few moments./ I don’t know they’ll take it. I’d like to think that they’d take us pretty well, since they’re pretty open minded about such things. There... didn’t dodge... /sound of tongue being stuck out./
Heh. All right then. Here’s hoping. /Crunchmunch respectfully away from phone./ So how do you think they’ll take the other thing? They’re pretty protective...
Yeah... I know. /Small sigh/. I guess we’ll have to deal with that when it happens.
Hm... We’re so haphazard that way. Keeps it from being boring! When are we working on your shields again?
We could work on them... Monday night. If you’re free, that is.
For you? Always. /Crunching and a wrapper being crumpled and thrown./
/Sighing and the sounds of flopping on the bed./ I wish you were here now...
Well... I could be, but I’m pretty sure you would shoot the idea down of me climbing through your window.
My sweet prince. /chuckle./ Seriously though, how do you think Kate’s doing in Bludhaven?
I dunno. I want her back though. Team doesn’t seem right without her at all.
Yeah. Eli’s a good leader though.
He is! He did a pretty good job coordinating us against that convenience store robbery. I think that guy said some curse word combos even Tommy didn’t seem to know.
Nah, I’m pretty sure Tommy knows them all.
I can’t ever tell. He talks too fast for me to keep up with. Him and Bart both. By the way, why didn’t you mention that Bart was a speedster when we met him? I didn’t find out till the birthday party.
I dunno. Slipped my mind, I guess? No, that’s not true. I didn’t know if he would have liked me telling people... then it slipped my mind.
Ah... You are redeemed. At least Kara probably knows. Can’t fathom that being kept from her easily. She seems pretty cool.
Redeemed eh? /Quiet laugh./ She does seem like good people, which is good, because I don’t know of many that could handle Bart.
Right? He’s a good kid, he’s just... Well... He’s a good kid.
Oh... You’re so wise and mature now, aren’t you?
What? He would be hard to keep pace with!
I’m teasing you, sweetie.
... Not the first time. Tease.
I’m not a tease. I merely invite you to imagine things you can’t immediately have.
.... Tease.
/Clothes rustling./ What was that? I didn’t quite hear you over the sound of my getting undressed for bed.
Ugh, you’re not faaaair. /His turn to flop on the bed./
Aww... poor, mistreated Teddy. Can I have a kiss before I hang up for bed?
So abused. /Sigh./ Good thing I’m okay with it. Soft kissing sound on phone. And well... you know.
Yeah... I know. Hey Teddy... about what you said earlier?
Hm?
I’ll leave my window unlocked for you...
/A pause, then sudden scrambling sounds./ Be there soon!
