_“ Hey, it's me. Wait for the thing. _”

You're giving her--us--something we want.

[jurisimpudent]

She wants you to hold my hand.

[kicktomorrow]

You got it.

[jurisimpudent]

I don't believe that.

[kicktomorrow]

Not my problem if you don't believe the facts.

[jurisimpudent]

Then...she should say it.

[kicktomorrow]

Sometimes it's hard for people to say what they want. You can trust me. I like waking up in the morning, I wouldn't mistranslate her.

[jurisimpudent]

I doubt she would murder you in your sleep, if that is what you are implying.

[kicktomorrow]

I'm not convinced. And you're ducking me.

[jurisimpudent]

I am not. I'm merely addressing your complaint.

[kicktomorrow]

You're stalling. Yes or no?

[jurisimpudent]

...Fine.

[kicktomorrow]

Great. Let's set a time. I'm unemployed, so I'm always free. If I were you I'd write out the apology instead of trying to say it.

[Her grin is practically audible.]

[jurisimpudent]

I request, first, that you not sound so smug.

[kicktomorrow]

Is this better?

[jurisimpudent]

...Somewhat.

[kicktomorrow]

[Considering that she's ahead, Jane doesn't tell him his bitchy voice is adorable.]

So back to the time question?

[jurisimpudent]

Why must we set a time if it's going to be written out, anyway?
