What things?

I haven't used it.

[pearlstrings]

You were very adamant about the conditions of our walk the first time I broached the subject.

Also that seems like a waste. You could be eating pancakes.

[evulsed]

Whatever. Do you want my help or not?

Pancakes don't just grow on trees, stupid.

[ ie. he didn't find any ready made ones in the general store so... ]

[pearlstrings]

Yes.

Would you like my help with the pancakes?

[evulsed]

Then shut up and just tell me when we're meeting.

You can make pancakes?

[ can u sense the sarcasm thru the text ]

[pearlstrings]

Soon. I'll be in touch.

[Well you did say shut up and just say when, so.]

[evulsed]

[ he scowls down at the tablet. typical. he's not actually sure why he expected anything else.

but then, neither is he the type of person to let things go. ]

You know nobody is going to trust you if you do things like that, no matter how many crates you pull out of the water.

[pearlstrings]

If I do things like what?

[evulsed]

Offer to help then pretend you never did it.

[pearlstrings]

But I was doing what you told me to do.

Isn't that also a way to earn trust?

[evulsed]

No. That's following orders.

[pearlstrings]

It sounded more like a rude request than an order.

Maybe you should try saying what you mean instead.

[evulsed]

I say what I mean.

[pearlstrings]

When would you like to come over?

[evulsed]

When do you have time around wandering around the woods like some feckless vagrant?

[pearlstrings]

My decision to walk through the woods is far from feckless. It's been very purpose-driven.

But I'm home now. If that's the answer you're looking for.

[evulsed]

Whatever.

[ but he'll be there pretty sharpish, despite the blasé response ]
