part 258 dusty old bones

[aphanon_meme]

Full of green dust! Happy Friday... Saturday... Sunday? I'm not good at time zones. In any case, the sun is shining here for once! Of course the ground is still covered in snow, but at least it's not all grey and icky and I can have my window open and enjoy some pretty natural light. Hoe was your week? Good? Not so good? Baby bear's porridge?

I choose this one B)

[dam_stijl]

I'll second you on that.

[surprise haircurl grab!]

Betcha had to use this to finish, huh.

[dam_stijl]

[snorts - and you're an idiot if you thought he actually expected something]

I see. So you'd rather punch me, huh.

[iceandheather]

After all that? Should've hit you twice. You deserved it.

[dam_stijl]

Go ahead. [he can't quiiiite keep the smug look away. or the sarcasm out of his tone] According to certain grouchy asswipes, I've been bad.

[iceandheather]

No. Children what don't understand better act "bad". You knew what you were doing. Seems you're the asswipe here.

[By now he has managed to regain his composure. Not looking directly at him, as if completely disinterested, helps.]

[dam_stijl]

[man he really is no fun]

Why are you so opposed to playing along. [grumbles a curse or two]

[iceandheather]

Think the question is: Why're you so dense that y'want someone t'play along when you've just gone'n made 'em right angry? Even Denmark knows better'n that.

[How stupid is this guy, really?]

[dam_stijl]

Nah, I think it is: why is this guy such a tight-ass that he can't take a few jokes.

[sighs]

Sorry I made you pissy then, shit.

[close enough to an apology, right?]

[iceandheather]

Ain't that I can't take a joke. Jus' can't be havin' with the kind you seem to like.

[That 'apology' is so far from genuine that he's tempted to not accept it. But he won't get anything better.]

Guess that'll have to do.

[dam_stijl]

[rolls eyes] You're too touchy, man.

[that's true. ask later in the part /eyes.gif]

Good. [crosses his arms] The offer still stands, in case you forgot.

[iceandheather]

Not.

...'N what offer?

[Perhaps he deliberately forgot.]

[dam_stijl]

[he's gonna drop that conversation, nothing good can come from that]

You know. [one-shouldered shrug] The sexual one.

[iceandheather]

Already told you: no.

[Sighs]

Ask again in five years. Might change my mind by then.

[dam_stijl]

I will.

[puts it down in his phone calendar]

[iceandheather]

Fine.

[Did he seriously just--]

[He did. Well. How about that.]

[It's actually somewhat unnerving.]

[So Norway, he's just going to get out of here. Because that's just weird.]

[dam_stijl]

[yep, he did]

[five years isn't that long in the scheme of things]
