He won’t point that out if she won’t.
As for her parents, he’s sure they are great, but he would be more than content with this one friend.
“So . . . what do you like to do? Do you have a hobby?”
Váli Lokison | Parody
She does. And he's not going to like one of her /parents/ more than her.
Trying very hard not to smile and look serious.
𝕮𝖑𝖆𝖚𝖉𝖎𝖆
Well. Hello, friend.
She has a friend now.
Váli Lokison | Parody
Do they?
Claudia's not exactly had many friends. She doesn't know how it works.
𝕮𝖑𝖆𝖚𝖉𝖎𝖆
He highly doubts that would happen. He likes spending time with her, and she’s interesting.
Plus, she was his friend first. Firsts count for something.
Váli Lokison | Parody
Louis /desperately/ needs more friends that aren't her. He should talk to him.
So long as he doesn't like him more than her.
𝕮𝖑𝖆𝖚𝖉𝖎𝖆
He would happily have more friends. Unless it would be weird to be friends with one of her parents. Then he won’t.
But he would like to talk books with someone again. With her. With Louis.
Váli Lokison | Parody
A couple, actually. She'll show him later.
... Huh. He'd get along real well with Louis. That sounds like something he'd like.
𝕮𝖑𝖆𝖚𝖉𝖎𝖆
Sometimes . . . well, sometimes he thinks it’s alright just to be angry.
But. Books.
Do any get it right? He would check them out.
He is on a Transcendentalist kick. Emerson and Thoreau and all that philosophical but minus the parent guilt. More trees.
Váli Lokison | Parody
Nudging the book towards him. There's a lot of talk of /forgiveness/ and /understanding for your parents/ in it and she's growing annoyed.
She likes... uh... a little of everything. This might sound funny, but she reads a lot of books about vampires. She likes to see what they get right.
𝕮𝖑𝖆𝖚𝖉𝖎𝖆
Sure. But what does she like? Maybe he can recommend something.
Váli Lokison | Parody
Some philosophical bullshit about children and their parents. Louis' general fare.
Does he want to take a look?
𝕮𝖑𝖆𝖚𝖉𝖎𝖆
What’s she reading?
Váli Lokison | Parody
Licking blood off of her fingers, flipping the pages of a book with her free hand.
... It's boring. She's probably not finishing this. But Louis recommended it, so she's giving it a try.
