Whatever. And matte. I think a shiny case would bug me after a while. Tell me if you spot anything that might work? [He's already perusing options.]

[parodeity]

[ look john some people are aware if it was warm enough some people’s excuses to be close to other people would vaporize let dave live his lies.

but it’s phone shopping kind of and he lives for this so he’s taking a case down to read the features on the box... ]

This one might not be bad. Apparently you’d have to try super hard to wreck it?

[windeity]

[Glad this is what Dave's worried about when John's the one who keeps holding his hand. Okay. But he's mostly looking at the cases themselves and deciding from there, so he looks over at the case in Dave's hand to review it.]

I would say "challenge accepted" but I think that is the point we are trying to avoid. Right colors, too. Waterproof?

[parodeity]

[ what if this is a weird one time thing because he’s cold god ].

Obviously. Can survive up to a certain amount of depth so if you toss this one in the ocean you might be able to quickly save it before it is completely doomed? [ he kind of smiles as he says this. or smirks. he’s half teasing? ]

[windeity]

[In 2018 Dave will still be questioning John holding his hand probably.]

Ha. Ha. [He doesn't mind though because he's laughing gently anyway before taking the case with his free hand to review it.] Like I said I doubt I will have to worry about that. At least not for another couple of months since I doubt I will go swimming anytime soon.

[parodeity]

[ that isn’t saving him either ]

But now if you’re warped to an island paradise with monsters you’ll be set?

[windeity]

Oh I see how it is. Looking out for me and everything like always. Thanks. This one should be good enough then. [He'll drag Dave to the checkout then.]

I really hope neither of us gets warped.

[parodeity]

My duty as your best friend. And if you get warped you might have okay company. Not as okay as me, obviously, but like, decent.

[windeity]

Yeah. You seem to get along with your group from what you have told me. And I keep meeting members of it, too. They seem pretty okay. [The case gets paid for and he takes the bag, leading them onward toward the cafe for soup.]

[parodeity]

Who’ve you met so far? Not everyone is still on the network, but I talk to most of those who are. Carmen and Emil and Souji and Pen most often. Well, and Shouto, but he’s been busy.

[windeity]

I talked to Carmen a little, I've met Emil, I kinda know Souji and I definitely ran into the windshield of Pen's skyship the other day. [So there's that.]

[parodeity]

Truly you’re beauty and grace, Miss United States. How much shit have you flown into?

[windeity]

Not that much! [Into the cafe they go and in line waiting to order. John's busy glancing up at the readerboard to decide what he wants.] Just Pen's ship, a couple of windows, and Eren.

[parodeity]

You can’t preface a goddamn list with “not that much”, John, that is the opposite of not that much? [ dave will get vegetable thanks ]

[windeity]

It could also be a lot worse and it's not! So "not that much" still stands. [An order of vegetable soup and an order of potato soup will soon be placed as soon as they get close enough to do so.] It kind of worked out at least since everybody was too stunned that I was flying.

[parodeity]

So by worked out you mean no one took the time to mock you?

[windeity]

I think they all know to leave that for you and your duty.

[parodeity]

Admit it: you’d kinda miss me mocking you if I stopped?

[windeity]

I will say that I have definitely grown used to you doing that, yes. And I would be a little weirded out if you stopped. You’ve been mocking me since we were kids anyway.

[parodeity]

It’s not like I mean much by it. [ well. he means some of it but jokingly. ]

[windeity]

I know. It's just how we communicate and stuff. [A flash of a grin. The soup's ready not long after and he grabs the bag before paying and taking Dave's hand again to lead him to the car.] I remember enough of our chats by now to know that.

[parodeity]

[ okay we're still doing the handholding thing, apparently. this time dave laces his fingers through john's, trying not to focus on that. ]

Yeah? Remember enough of your chats with Rose, yet? She's got a unique way of making people feel dumb. [ he sounds too fond. ]

[windeity]

[His fingers wiggling a bit, tapping on Dave's knuckles but otherwise not pulling away or the like. Instead, it's back outside to the car.]

I remember plenty of chats with Rose and I have been getting that impression, yes. And it is pretty easy to see that she is just like that in this life, too.

[parodeity]

You inspire a certain amount of teasing in us, somehow. It's genetics.

[windeity]

That explains a lot. I think Jade used to tease me, too. [He opens the door for Dave so they can get in and go home.] Still weird how things like that carry over.
