Our parents never gave us that much thought.

[protective_logic]

And yet the decision is made.

[baruthumos]

...a specific decision? They didn't send another kid, did they?

[protective_logic]

I meant the not being here, not raising us, not putting it in our hands.

[baruthumos]

Something else bugging you, D?

[protective_logic]

Do you ever feel... trapped?

[baruthumos]

Trapped? No, I could leave whenever I wanted. Go to Zanzibar or wherever. Every day, I get to choose if I'm going to abandon you or not.

I'd rather be trapped.

[protective_logic]

You never do.

[baruthumos]

You feel trapped, though?

[protective_logic]

Sometimes. There... there are things out there I want. Want to be, want to experience, want to have time for. And I'm exhausted. I haven't had more than five hours of sleep a night since York went back to base.

[baruthumos]

What do you need me to do so you can sleep? Get the kids to school in the morning? The dishes? Both?

[protective_logic]

God, when the school year starts... Please. I know it's early, but if you set it up right you could go on your morning run right after and then go to Maine. I don't know how I'm going to sleep during the school year until York is handling language better.

I... I envy Sigma and Epsilon.

[baruthumos]

I will get them to school. Don't worry about it.

College would have been so much less painful than high school. I do too.

[protective_logic]

God... fuck high school.

[baruthumos]

It was the worst. Man, we survived that, we can survive anything.

[protective_logic]

Neither of us got out of it with a lot of friends. Would college really have been different? And dorm room would have been a pain. Imagine one of us trying to get along with a stranger. This is better.

[baruthumos]

You really think that? Or does saying that just make it easier?

[protective_logic]

Considering my skills of getting along with other people, it probably is better this way.

[baruthumos]

You get along with other people just fine, sparkles. Everyone loves you. Except people who have something wrong with them.

Now imagine if you had as much practice with idiots as me.

[protective_logic]

I'm happier not practicing at socializing with idiots.

[baruthumos]

Whatever makes you happy. That's all I ever want.

[protective_logic]

Yeah, right. You know, you also want whatever makes the other eight happy too, right?

[baruthumos]

Well, I can generally keep seven of you happy at the same time.

[protective_logic]

Magic there. And what about Maine, Lou and Florida?

[baruthumos]

They all know you come first. Do the twins wake you up?
