Alright, well . . . you get started on those while I work on the stew?

[onlyoneof]

Okay.

[skepticalities]

[chops up vegetables for the stew.]

. . . sorry. I know I've been sluggish today.

[onlyoneof]

It's okay. It's been a week.

[skepticalities]

I'm really glad this hasn't affected you.

[onlyoneof]

You mean that I didn't get a card or that I'm not stressed out?

[skepticalities]

The former.

[onlyoneof]

I'm... I'm actually a little curious. I keep wondering how hard it would be to keep the effects in check.

[skepticalities]

. . . with the other one, it was really hard.

[onlyoneof]

... but what you got was gradually worse on purpose. This isn't.

[skepticalities]

My point is that it can be pretty bad.

[onlyoneof]

I know that.

[skepticalities]

I know you're curious, but don't be.

[onlyoneof]

It's not like I'll go find a card.

[skepticalities]

Good. Thank you.

[onlyoneof]

I'm not that curious.

[skepticalities]

[pauses, and then nods a little bit, looking sheepish.]

— yeah, I know.

[onlyoneof]

Besides, we need more unaffected adults.

[skepticalities]

We really do.

[onlyoneof]

If I ever get affected by anything I promise I'll try to act normal around you.

[skepticalities]

You don't have to.

[onlyoneof]

I know.

[skepticalities]

Besides, you looked out for me.

[onlyoneof]

... yeah, so?

[skepticalities]

So I . . . want to return the favor? You know?
