Who: Apartment O + you? door is open
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!

[mildly]

I think about things a lot, you know.

[byallmeans]

It's not the kind of thing that needs thinking about.

[ibedeadpeople]

Not for you.

Don't worry, I have better things to do than play armchair psychiatrist or whatever you're afraid of. [and a hair-ruffle goes here]

[byallmeans]

Good. Because I don't need an armchair psychiatrist.

[He doesn't duck away from that, but just kind of waves a hand at her in a shooing gesture.]

[want to do this FOREVER]

I know. You should know I know. You should trust me more. I'm pretty trustworthy a lot of the time.

[byallmeans]

Sometimes, anyway.

[Going to stand the plates up on some armadillo-plating by the wall so they will dry. :|b]

[ibedeadpeople]

Almost all of the time! And helpful, too!

[byallmeans]

Does that mean you're going to be cooking more often?

[ibedeadpeople]

Sure. Me and Harmony want to get some lessons so we could help out more.

[byallmeans]

Not from that girl, I hope.

[ibedeadpeople]

Nah, from Lucky, maybe. Harmony said her food was really good. Are you excited?

[byallmeans]

From Lucky?

...I guess you could have picked someone worse.

[ibedeadpeople]

We figured she'd know how to make something tasty you could stretch...best of both worlds. Plus, you'd be less likely to object to someone from Sabra.

[byallmeans]

She's better than some people you could have picked anyway.

[ibedeadpeople]

Like I just said you'd say...

[byallmeans]

What can I say? Sometimes you have decent judgement.

[ibedeadpeople]

You could say that. That is something you're always welcome to say.

[byallmeans]

I just did.

[ibedeadpeople]

Right, right, no point in being greedy.

[byallmeans]

You really wanted me to say it again?

[ibedeadpeople]

No... I wouldn't mind you saying some positive things for once, that's all.

[byallmeans]

I say them when they're necessary.

[ibedeadpeople]

It's okay to say things before they're necessary, too.
