For all I know, you're making that up. I'm still not entirely convinced you know how, since you don't even know what this place is.

[foreversweaterweather]

Can too! See? [ she reads off the title of every book in Malik's pile. I have no idea what they are but she's reading them aloud and she's a fuckin champ at it ]

[godcards]

[ they're boring history books. especially egypty history books. he really is a nerd. ]

...Wow. I'm impressed. [ deadpan. ]

I bet that's the most reading you've done while you've been here, then.

[foreversweaterweather]

No way! I read lots of stuff. Like signs, those task board thingies, movie credits, the ingredients on a pack of candy...

[godcards]

Be careful, you might get a headache reading more than 10 words at a time.

[foreversweaterweather]

Pfft, well, yeah! No one can read that many words at the same time! Ya gotta read 'em one by one--that's how you make sentences!

[godcards]

[ He just. Stares. For a second. ]

Regardless of that, I think you may be lost. This isn't the place for you.

[foreversweaterweather]

Well...not usually...but any place can be a place for me if I'm having fun or hanging out with a friend!

[godcards]

Then go hang out with them? I'm busy.

[ ????????????? ]

[foreversweaterweather]

I am, silly!

[godcards]

I think you may have me confused for someone else?

[foreversweaterweather]

No I haven't! You are my friend!

[godcards]

...Why?

[foreversweaterweather]

'cause you were nice and gave advice to me that one time! And you're fun!

[godcards]

[ he has NO idea how to handle this. he looks aside, then tried to look busy with a book. it's probably not working. ]

Well... I am not sure if that counts.

[foreversweaterweather]

Why wouldn't it count, silly?

[godcards]

Friendship seems to imply some sort of bond, which we do not have.

[foreversweaterweather]

Ooooh, looks like someone's a little shy!

[godcards]

I am not shy.

[foreversweaterweather]

There's nothing wrong with being shy, you know! It just means I have to work a little harder to crack that friendly little nut of yours.

[ she'll knock a few times on the side of Malik's head, if she can, and giggle. ]

[godcards]

[ he will gently grasp her arm so she can Not do that. ]

Does that mean that I'll have to keep dealing with you, no matter what?

[foreversweaterweather]

Yup!

[godcards]

Alright. Fine. Then how about this... leave me alone inside of the library, and you can bother me any other time.

[ he already regrets saying that. ]

[foreversweaterweather]

OKAY!!! We can have way more fun outside of a library anyway!

[ yeah malik, you fuckin WILL. ]
