[windeity]

No, because I am not going to pay him if the lesson sucks? That is the whole point. [...but yeah it's pretty stupid. He's just trying to backtrack a little.]

[parodeity]

I don’t think it’d suck, but I don’t know if it’s a style that’s work with what you got.

[windeity]

Yeah, we kind of talked about it. It might be worth seeing and it might not. You think maybe I should cancel?

[parodeity]

Not really. You like hanging out with people, and he’s kind of intense but a good dude all the same. You won’t really mesh with his style entirely I think, or you’re more...flexible, but I think you’d have fun anyway. Yeah?

[windeity]

Just for one lesson. I have someone else who offered me some hand to hand lessons, too. [There's a shrug.] I need to get my stats back up before I can keep up with you.

[parodeity]

[ he pokes one of john's arms, rolling his eyes. ]

Strength wise you already can.

[windeity]

I want to be more than the team powerhouse this time, Dave. [There's a slight frown.] Strength didn't do much for that fight with James and while yes, okay, that's great, I could up my speed and agility stats outside of normal sports.

[parodeity]

You're never gonna match me speed wise. But learning that...I think you'd still be better off training with me for it than, like, Zoro. He's more...hit it hard until it stops moving?

[windeity]

Also skills I could use since I fight with hammers. [Calmly.] ...I feel better training with you, I think, but I keep thinking about if we end up in a place where we're separated. I wnat to be ready for that, too.

[parodeity]

Right. What I meant was it's not the kind of extra skills you said you wanted... [ dave shakes his head. ] Don't worry about it. Just have fun at the thing and dodge if he attacks.

[windeity]

No, I know...I know. You're right. I'll think about it? [Since Dave also just said he'd be furious if he got himself hurt, so maybe he should consider things more carefully.]

[parodeity]

[ an amused eyebrow lift. ] You can do whatever, babe. Redefining your fighting style is kind of a personal thing.

[windeity]

Yeah, I'll think about it. [Just brushing it off...] ...so we should probably go see if we can find a frame for Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff. Want to do that tonight?

[parodeity]

Sure. Do we need anything else...? [ he's mentally going through the grocery list of shit they have and shit they don't ]

[windeity]

Dry food for Mewpac since we're both starting classes and won't be home to cater to her whim. Otherwise I think we're pretty stocked up on stuff.

[parodeity]

We should download one of those family grocery list apps. Also, I can keep up with her feeding schedule easy still.

[windeity]

You'd have to show me how that one works since I never used it, but it wouldn't hurt. If that sentence ends with "by looping constantly" I am not sure how to feel about that. But I know.

Let's head back, go to the store, and we can go home and get everything set up. Plan?

[parodeity]

Plan. [ although. ] Does it bother you?

[windeity]

[And suddenly we're back to not knowing what the fuck we're talking about.]

Does what?

[parodeity]

Looping. Does it?

[windeity]

Not always, but sometimes I worry about you. That's all.

[parodeity]

Ah. [ right. ] ...I do sleep.

[windeity]

I know. I can kind of tell when you're sleeping and when you're not. [Breath.]

[parodeity]

I mean, it's better than it could be. [ has been. ] I'm not generally runnin' on fumes.

[windeity]

I know. No I know, trust me. I've noticed and I am really happy about that. It's stupid, never mind. I trust you to know your own limits. [Even if he'll knock Dave out to meet them if he has to.]
