I am. I'll be in there in a moment.

I can make more sandwiches. I should do it sometimes, too.
Do you want some also?

[nakedsingularity]

_{[That earns a snort of amusement behind the screen. On the screen--]}

You're the one who just came out of that fucked up dream place. Counting sheep in a coma works up an appetite. 🐑

[shoplifter]

[Okay, she's coming, she's coming, but there's something way more crucial here:]

'Counting sheep'?





🤔

[nakedsingularity]

_{[Did she just get emoji'd by Wolverine Jr.? Will wonders never cease.]}

Sleeping. That's what you say in English. Counting Zs or counting sheep means you're sleeping. Don't ask me why, it's a hell of a lot less crazy than some desert world with a two-headed dog.

How are you? With him back. And all this crap.

_{[Easier to ask like this, with the impartiality of a screen and English lessons.]}

[shoplifter]

[She's been making an effort to learn, sue her.

Or take away her Fluid forever.]

Counting Z's...? That is strange.



I'm alright. I think.
Confused about what to say to him. About things.
He is not my father, but he is.

[nakedsingularity]

But probably the least strange thing you'll hear today.

_{[But yeah, English is weird. There's no real good way to describe an alternate universe sperm donor, either.]}

That why you didn't want to tell me?

[shoplifter]

I don't know. I wanted to think about what to say.
It was a lot to think about. And I know he is not the one you were close to...
I figured you two would run into each other soon, anyway. It is not a very big town.

We weren't that close, we just lived together before you showed up. _{[Again, a denial.]} There's enough here to worry about without you worrying about protecting my feelings on top of everything else. You can let yourself off the hook for that part.

_{[Likewise, it's not Laura's job to manage her feelings. This Logan matter is... whatever. Another thing to file away and deal with later.]}

For the record, the offer's there to talk about how you're feeling about it. Him being back. It doesn't have to be now, but if you want.

[nakedsingularity]

You can relax, that's the end of the sappiness for one day.

_{[They can wipe the sweat from their brows.]}
