Lunch. You?

[parodeity]

not egregiously long ago
ill see you when you get here
thats probably not enough time to bother making something new yet
since i doubt youre hungry again and im not hungry either

[splinten]

I could go for snacks. Our respective fruits, maybe.
You know that suspiciously non-specific comments about when you last ate are almost as worrying to me as suspiciously specific ones.

[parodeity]

i had stuff for breakfast
but im not hungry rn
ill eat at dinner?

[splinten]

All right.
You're sure you can't handle some snacks? I won't push you on it, but a few apple slices are usually not a bad thing, and you know I can eat an orange any time of day.
Your call, obviously.

[parodeity]

maybe later but not rn
i dont even have a hint of a hunger headache im good

2/2

[parodeity]

or
if that makes you feel better i can i guess?

[splinten]

No, we're okay if you say you're not up for it. It's good.

[parodeity]

are you sure

[splinten]

I would not back off of a food discussion if I weren't.
You said you aren't really up for eating right now but you'll eat with me at dinner, and you did breakfast. That's not a bad day.

[parodeity]

do you want orange slices as snacks though i can get those set up for you

[splinten]

I don't have a craving, but I wouldn't be against them either.
It's sort of weird to be the only one eating though.
Honestly, bro, I'm fine as long as you're sated.

[parodeity]

thats a weird word
sated
like i know it is the actual word to use in context situationally
but it just has always sounded weird
and kind of stilted
although a lot of times the words and phrases that should sound stilted
or do i guess
dont end up coming across that way
i think rose lalonde ruined me
at some point in my life
for how i read that

anyway im gonna
shut up and wait now
so

[splinten]

Did Rose use 'sated' in one of its more metaphorical frames?
Super not surprised if she did.
I will try to avoid using vocabulary that got into Rose's Freudian talks.

[you can't shut up and wait Dave, Dirk is still talking to you?]

[parodeity]

she has but thats not what i meant
dont bother with that endeavour sisyphus

[splinten]

I will roll as many rocks up as many mountains as I want.
What did you mean?

[parodeity]

nothing major
just that your speech patterns and roses are pretty similar
and probably id read you different if they werent

[splinten]

That isn't surprising, exactly.
I think you've mentioned once or twice that my resemblance to Rose is something you like.

[parodeity]

yeah wasnt a fan of you sans it

[splinten]

You mean,
Him?

[Dirk has one of his moments of being unsure, very suddenly. Rationality tells him it's stupid and the rest says of course Dave would hate him just for being himself, that it's only what similarities he has to Rose that are his saving grace.]

[parodeity]

i mean
lets talk about it in person this is stupid
unless
you want to talk about it like this???

[splinten]

My preference is always for in-person discussions.
But I don't mind text if it's your preference.
It's whatever you think works.

[parodeity]

i didnt mean to say what i did
or not the way i said it
and
i dont know how to put it so
ill shut up for now
and wait

[splinten]

Ok. Two minutes.

[It will indeed be two minutes. And Dirk will be... trying not to let himself be a huge baby about what he knows isn't Dave saying he hates him generally but tolerates him because of his Roseness. So: melancholic, but not morose.

Fist bump for the Magister, and a general warning call of "I'm home" so if Obama wants to clear the area he can.]

[parodeity]

[ dave's on the tv level sitting on the floor cross-legged. obama splits from his lap the second dirk calls out, but dave doesn't bother to like, relocate to the couch? he looks a little more settled than he did earlier. ]

Hey. [ and yet NO LESS AWKWARD. ]
