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

I'd rather he not show up at all, but I'm not stupid enough to think I can keep people from bringing home the wrong kind of stray.

[redmarksthespot]

And Joe?

[yellowhasthechest]

What about him?

[redmarksthespot]

You're the one pissed.

[yellowhasthechest]

Joe already knows I'm pissed, he just doesn't give a damn.

[redmarksthespot]

He's pissed too.

[yellowhasthechest]

Take that up with him.

[redmarksthespot]

What do you think I'm doing?

[yellowhasthechest]

Then why are you talking to me about it? He's made it very clear his life is none of my business.

[redmarksthespot]

You two are worse than the samurai.

[yellowhasthechest]

I didn't walk away, he did.

[redmarksthespot]

He came back.

[yellowhasthechest]

So just because he came back, I don't have a right to be angry?

[redmarksthespot]

You're mad, he's mad. Fine. You get to be angry. But he's still crew.

[yellowhasthechest]

If he'd stick around long enough.

[redmarksthespot]

[:|]

[yellowhasthechest]

Anyway, he's grown. It's his fault. Let him clean up his own mess if he means it.

[redmarksthespot]

You're not helping.

[yellowhasthechest]

Neither are you.

[redmarksthespot]

Joe is one of us.

[yellowhasthechest]

Who did something stupid.

[redmarksthespot]

[and he's the first?]

[yellowhasthechest]

[You dying on me is a whole different story.]

[redmarksthespot]

So we get past it.

[yellowhasthechest]

Eventually, maybe.
