When: Day 32, evening
Where: Apartment O
What: family dinner...?

[There is a stew bubbling happily over the fire; leaf "platters" and shish-kebabs(? something-chunks on sticks), salad, a somewhat overcooked stirfry, and a gourd filled with fruit chunks in milky liquid are arranged on the kitchen counter.]

Okay, guys, get it while it's hot!

You spent time with her already.

[byallmeans]

Meaning what, exactly?

[pencilpremonition]

Only a few minutes, jeeze.

[byallmeans]

If you want to stay as a guest in someone's apartment, you should probably learn how to behave like a guest in someone's apartment.

[pencilpremonition]

Normally I do, but you go out of your way to be nasty to me.

[ibedeadpeople]

I expected more of an "of course" reaction.

[byallmeans]

If I wanted to be nasty to you, you would know it already.

[pencilpremonition]

I know it already.

[Blandly, and man he is going to hate everything ever when he's not zen-melon'd, but at the moment he doesn't really care about admitting this one way or the other, so:]

There are a few exceptions. That's all.

[ibedeadpeople]

Really? Like what?

[byallmeans]

People I don't mind looking out for.

[byallmeans]

No. You know that I don't appreciate you coming into the place where I live and behaving like a petulant child. But that should have been common sense to begin with.

[pencilpremonition]

I told you, I'm not here to see YOU.

[byallmeans]

Whether you're here to see me or not, I live here, too. Show a little common courtesy or get out.

[ibedeadpeople]

Huh...

[byallmeans]

What?

[pencilpremonition]

You could stand to be nicer to your friend's friends, too.

[ibedeadpeople]

[shrugs] I only half expected that. ...The other half I just figured you didn't consider yourself as number one.

[byallmeans]

Out. Or I'll put you out.

[You hit a sore spot, man. Pity he hadn't started on that zen fruit yet.]

[pencilpremonition]

I'll tell Maya about this.

[byallmeans]

Why did you spend so much time thinking about it in the first place?

[Going to absently start collecting the plates of the folks who are finished and washing up. Water magic + chores= easier.]

[byallmeans]

[Advances a step. :|]

I'm not going to say it again.

[ibedeadpeople]

[mildly]

I think about things a lot, you know.

[LEAVING]

[byallmeans]

[Shuts the door behind her. :|||]
