... okay. What are we doing?

[skepticalities]

We're going to be quasi-social and mostly awkward at a Halloween party.

[onlyoneof]

[opens his mouth. Pauses.]

...

... okay.

[skepticalities]

Good. Thank you.

[onlyoneof]

Come on, let's make you not be a were-platypus before it gets dark.

[skepticalities]

[sets his book down and steps over.]

That would probably be a good idea.

[onlyoneof]

[aww yeah, were-platypus prevention]

[skepticalities]

[immediately moves over to where he is when they're done, touching his arm lightly.]

. . . so. How are you?

[onlyoneof]

... I'm a work in progress.

[skepticalities]

[rubbing his arm a bit.]

I'm here. Okay?

[onlyoneof]

I know.

[skepticalities]

I can't . . . help with the technical stuff. That's beyond me. But I'm always here for moral support.

[onlyoneof]

I know. I'm okay... mostly okay.

[skepticalities]

It's okay to not be okay.

[onlyoneof]

That's what I told Vanille. Sort of.

[skepticalities]

Well, it's true.

[onlyoneof]

I know.

[skepticalities]

[. . . tugs at his sleeve a bit.]

Come on. Let's sit down.

[onlyoneof]

Alright.

[lets Lincoln lead him]

[skepticalities]

[leads him over to the couch, pulling him down.]

[onlyoneof]

This isn't the worst thing I've dealt with... or the worst I'll deal with.

[skepticalities]

That doesn't make it any better.

[onlyoneof]

... it helps on the perspective aspect of it.

[skepticalities]

[reaches over to brush some of his hair back.]

[onlyoneof]
