Not really.

[... It's a little muffled but.]

[switchaxe]

Mind if I come over? Or do you wanna come over?

[infezione]

I don't mind. Door'll be unlocked.

[switchaxe]

On the way.

[And he will be there soon enough! With snacks! He just lets himself in and goes to track Fugo down.]

[infezione]

[He doesn't need to look far, at least.

Fugo's just kind of laying face-down on the sofa.]

[switchaxe]

Shit.

[Ash settles down on the floor next to him and opens a soda.]

Hungry?

[infezione]

[He sits up so Ash doesn't have to sit on the floor.]

A bit, yeah...

[switchaxe]

[Nah, floor's good. He hands Fugo the bag of stuff he got from the corner store so he can have first pick.]

Which part of all that did this?

[infezione]

Well, the big thing was the whole "pretty much not getting a say" thing...

[As he starts going through the bag, picking what he wants from it before handing it back.]

[switchaxe]

If you really don't want me to try an' go, I won't. I just didn't think you'd want Velvet.

[infezione]

[Sigh.]

You've got a point there, and you all have already decided, anyway. If I tried to argue, I'd either not find the words or just get pissed off trying all over again.

[Getting this snack open...]

And I already had to go literally cool down, so.

[switchaxe]

If you said "I really don't want you to go Ash", I'd've sent Velvet or Albarea. I'm still gonna be hangin' around either way, though.

[infezione]

I never said that. I just didn't--and still don't--think the fake ID idea is a good one.

Doesn't matter now, but I'm not defending any of you from the inevitable lecture from Mr. Albarea, just so you know.

[switchaxe]

My birthday ain't until summer.

[Sorry.]

Eh, it wouldn't be the first time he lectured me. I'll take it.

[infezione]

[Yeah, he's not going to comment on that first bit. Best to let the topic go, he thinks.

... Fuck it, he's just going to join Ash on the floor.]

[switchaxe]

[Floor time!]

Still can't believe they sent a fuckin' shrink.

[infezione]

Honestly I both can and can't believe it.

[A beat.]

Frankly, I'm more surprised it didn't happen sooner.

[switchaxe]

It might've, an' they just got chased off. Everyone here is batshit insane.

[infezione]

[A long pause, as he leans against Ash a bit.]

Somehow, I feel like even that's an understatement.

[switchaxe]

[He'll allow this. He'll even shift a little so Pat is more comfortable.]

Kid built a portal and summoned dinos, guy who fought Santa, people gettin' cursed by the Fae...

[infezione]

[Much appreciated, Ash.]

I feel like trying to guess whatever crazy thing's going to happen next is going to be a useless endeavor, because whatever we come up with isn't going to be wild enough.

[switchaxe]

Wanna bet on it?

[infezione]

Depends, what are we betting?

[switchaxe]

Ten bucks?

[infezione]

Hm, yeah, alright.
