Sorry, I forgot until just a few minutes ago. I've been thinking it was Monday all day.

And you're going to get out at some point, too? These are not real dates, these are friend dates. You could have one of those with York, you know.

[protective_logic]

With you and Sigma dating now, or 'friend dating' as in your case, it is more important that I'm at home to help manage the house. You know that.

[baruthumos]

Look, leprechaun, we may fall apart without you eventually, nobody's denying that, but I think we can spare you for one evening.

It'll be an adventure. We'll build a fort, watch movies you hate, eat pizza with the stuff you don't like, that sort of thing. Guilt-free.

[protective_logic]

I... may consider it. Do friends really go out together? What do people even do for these sorts of things? York has implied I should get out of the house sometimes, and you've been shouting that for years...

[baruthumos]

Eat donuts. Talk about mutual interests. Watch movies with lots of explosions. Whatever you and York do online, except in person while drinking coffee. Go eat somewhere you wouldn't want to take the entire tribe. Tell that if he wants you out of the house so badly he can plan it. I just gave you six things to do. What day are you going out?

[protective_logic]

What!?

First: Half of those sound like date-dates so no go.
Second: All we do online is talk.
Third: You're kidding, right? I haven't spoken to him today, he has a life of his own, and I'm sure Sigma gets first dibs on time spent with York. That's how it works, right?

[baruthumos]

One, they went on ONE date. They are not married. Two, York is a big boy. He gets to pick how he spends his time. Three, go sit in a cafe and talk. Or a bar.

Now I'm imagining you in a bar, and let me tell you, sparkles, it is hilarious. Can I teach Theta to play pool?

[protective_logic]

Meg... what did you do?

[baruthumos]

Nothing!

[protective_logic]

I think after you lecture Sigma, I need to deal with you.

[baruthumos]

I didn't do anything!

[protective_logic]

You always do this when you're hiding something.

[baruthumos]

No I don't! Do what! I'm not hiding anything!

[protective_logic]

You are always hiding something.

[baruthumos]

I think you're deflecting because you don't want to talk about York!

[protective_logic]

You're doing it again. You're pointing to York as the problem when I have nothing to talk about regarding him.

[baruthumos]

So you're chickening out now? Not making plans with him? Never pegged you for a coward, D.

[protective_logic]

Maybe I don't want to make plans with my friend until I know I have a date where you aren't busy and Sigma isn't with him so I am not inconveniencing either of you.

[baruthumos]

Well, aside from tomorrow, I'm free, so how about you ask him for a day, so I know to keep that day free. Now, before something else comes up.

[protective_logic]

I will... consider it.
