[No, it's definitely funny, sorry Natalie. But they seem to be working in sync between serving soup and chatting and John's being polite to anybody who approaches at least.]

Somehow that is actually even more hilarious than I pictured. [Also I hate that you and Kyuu keep writing things where Kyuu's character throws shit for yours and it damages a wall.] As long as ReVA doesn't find out it was you guys you're probably okay. You still have a lot left to do with him?

[robitussin]

It's not hilarious, oh my god. He's the worst.

[She says, between offering smiles and spooning more soup into bowls.]

We left really quickly, so fingers crossed, I guess. We've just got the soup one left at this point, which is at least harder to ruin? So there's that.

[windeity]

At least it's almost over. I have one more chore to do with him and a few more with a few other people, too. It is hard to ruin soup, but if I hear about you guys ruining soup later I promise I will keep my comments to myself.

[robitussin]

It would be him ruining soup, not me. Let's get that straight.

[This assault on her honor!!]

[windeity]

Maybe you should remind him we can still feel temperature, too, so he doesn't burn himself with it. [Yeah ok he'll believe it when he sees it.]

[robitussin]

I think I'd rather see the look on his face.

[wow]

[windeity]

Harsh. [And yet probably justified considering what she just said. Whoops.] But then again if he does not figure that out on his own what better way to learn than experience?

[robitussin]

Exactly! Which is why I didn't stop him when he ate the peppers. I'm trying to give him an education.

[smh]

[windeity]

So what you're saying is he should be thanking you. [He's content with his soup-serving since it's a nice distraction at least.] On behalf of all guys everywhere, sorry we're this way.

[robitussin]

Yes! Exactly.

[#no]

Maybe I'll switch to pie. Seems like less trouble sometimes.

[windeity]

I will be sure to give him the memo. [Just teasing. He's a little biased but also it's still funny. On the other hand...]

Pie is actually pretty troublesome, too. At least broccoli never broke the door to my car.

[robitussin]

...Wait, who broke your car door?

[???]

[windeity]

Ex-girlfriend! [Why does he sound cheerful...] It was a couple of months ago, it's whatever. She damaged it hard enough it stopped working without a ton of effort but it's mostly okay now.

[robitussin]

Jesus. Messy break up, I'm assuming?

[windeity]

Sort of, yes. [This soup sure is interesting.] It was a really dumb fight and we're both not great when we're egging each other on so it kind of blew up into a huge thing and we broke up. I think she was mad that I wasn't giving her the reaction she wanted.

[robitussin]

What reaction did she want? Or do you even know?

[windeity]

[There's a shrug.] It's funny. Vic and I dated for, like, two years or maybe a little longer than that and I do not think I ever really understood what she was going for when she wanted reactions. I assume she wanted me to be more mad though. Or beg her to stay. Neither of which was happening.

[robitussin]

Yeah... Sounds like guys weren't a great fit. At least you know Dave way better, right?

[windeity]

Probably. It's not that I didn't know Vic well in a bunch of other ways? I think I loved her for a while. [Alas.] But it worked out given I decided to come here anyway.

[Serving soup, serving soup.] ...I'm talking to him tonight, by the way.

[robitussin]

What made you decide to come here? Was it just Dave, or...?

[She nearly pauses in her ladeling for a moment, glancing over at him.]

Seriously? Dude, nice! Fingers crossed.

[windeity]

[An awkward, nervous grin. He'll get back to that in a second.]

Actually I didn't even know Dave existed before I walked into our dorm room. I'd never met him in this lifetime before then. It was just...it's maybe stupid now. But I wanted a change from Seattle and from my old friends.

[robitussin]

Dude, seriously? I bet that must have been a shock for him, if he'd already been remembering stuff about you. Man.

[But.]

I noticed you avoiding that second topic.

[windeity]

Oh I am pretty sure it freaked him out entirely. He was weird the first couple of weeks before I remembered who he was and then everything made sense after that.

[...sigh.] I'm not avoiding it. I'm just...nervous, maybe. I'm still not sure this is going to work.

[robitussin]

Yeah. I can't even imagine how I'd deal with that... But it sounds like it worked out. That's, like, some fate or destiny shit.

[She tilts her head.]

Come on. You said yourself he's super into you, right?

[windeity]

The laws of paradox space, I think. Our decisions aren't always entirely our own. [He stirs the soup again.] And yes, that is in fact what I said but he's also I think still super upset with me since we haven't actually talked since Friday besides when you came over on Sunday. [Which was, as John had told her, perfectly fine and cordial.]

So. He can be super into me and I can be super into him and this could still fuck up a lot. That's all.
