[This is the five of you all getting the same terse phone call:] Come to the house. We have to talk.

[Waiting to figure out if you're done, tapping her fingers on the arm of the couch. :|]

[redmarksthespot]

Say it.

[yellowhasthechest]

Are we supposed to just throw him a big tea party now, have him over for dinner? Pretend to be best friends and act like he isn't who he is?

[redmarksthespot]

No. Don't forget that for a second. If he catches up and thinks he can use it, he will.

[yellowhasthechest]

Then why does it always seem like I'm the only one who isn't intent on feeding him, bringing him around and playing house with him?

[redmarksthespot]

You're not.

[yellowhasthechest]

I had to kick him out the other day because Ahim had him over for tea and cake.

[redmarksthespot]

... What the hell ...

[yellowhasthechest]

Doc's been feeding him.

[redmarksthespot]

[mother of fuck]

[yellowhasthechest]

I keep an eye on all of them, but I can't be everywhere at once.

[redmarksthespot]

Right.

[yellowhasthechest]

[Crosses her arms.]

They don't seem to intend to stop, either. At least, definitely not Ahim.

[redmarksthespot]

Why?

[yellowhasthechest]

How the hell should I know? Ahim thinks it'll bring Joe back, or that we owe him for letting Joe go running over there, as far as I can tell.

[Because that didn't sound bitter at all.]

[redmarksthespot]

That's got nothing to do with him.

[yellowhasthechest]

You asked, I answered.

[redmarksthespot]

I heard you!

[yellowhasthechest]

Don't get bent out of shape with me about it.

[redmarksthespot]

[:|]

[yellowhasthechest]

[Is this really a fight you want to have, Marvelous. :|]

[redmarksthespot]

[I am not having it!]

[yellowhasthechest]

I don't want him around here. If he comes back, I'm going to keep kicking him out.

[redmarksthespot]

Fine.

[yellowhasthechest]

Good. That's settled, then?
