I was thinking about taking them out for happy meals tomorrow. What do you think? Overly optimistic?

[protective_logic]

No. I think it's a good thing. Either it's a celebration for them, or a consolation. Do it. They'll enjoy it.

Oh, Alpha will be joining the family for Wednesday dinner.

[baruthumos]

Sparkles, today is Tuesday.

[protective_logic]

Sigma is already preparing food, and it was better than having him over while you were in therapy or our with Lou, is it not?

[baruthumos]

Were you going to tell me or just let the asshole show up at our door? Are you trying to set him up? You can just ask me to punch him, you know.

[protective_logic]

You like him, so don't pretend you don't. The twins wanted to see him again, Sigma and Epsilon seem wary of my distrust, and Theta likes him. So whatever. I invited him to dinner. On Wednesday. You guys have fun.

[baruthumos]

I don't...I have formed an independent opinion of him and he's an asshole who never thought to mention that he also is a member of the bizarre eyeball club. I don't trust him any farther than I can throw him.

Anyone gives you crap about telling him to come on Wednesday, you tell me and I'll take care of it.

[protective_logic]

I don't care. I managed to fulfill the desire of the littles and don't have to be in a building with him. I think I won.

[baruthumos]

I think you did, too.

[protective_logic]

They... like him. And he has decided that he wants to be there for the twins at least. It's something.

[baruthumos]

Wonder if there's a magic age after which he transforms into a magnificent jackass. I think it's twenty-two. Or twenty one and he forgot Sigma's been in the bar.

[protective_logic]

Oh man, that's actually pretty hilarious.

[baruthumos]

Howso?

[protective_logic]

Normally people treat children as inferior and not worth attention, whereas he goes out of his way to be good to them and an ass to me.

[baruthumos]

He does. Sorry.

[protective_logic]

I prefer the older siblings I already have.

[baruthumos]

Beta is pretty great.

[protective_logic]

So are you.

[baruthumos]

[After a minute of spluttering.]

So are you.

[protective_logic]

[Faint, amused chuckling.]

I'm not older than you, so I can't be a 'pretty great older sibling.'

[baruthumos]

To the others, though.

[protective_logic]

I suppose that might be true.

[baruthumos]

It is empirically true.

[protective_logic]

Alright then.

I...

I don't hate you, Meg. I just... I just can't stand it when you want me to not be involved in your personal life, but you step in to mine. I... I was confiding something to you, just to get it off my chest. But that didn't...

You tried to fix it. I wasn't asking you for that. I didn't want that. I especially didn't want it via harsh words against one of my very few friends. What you did was wrong, and it wasn't welcome, and it was hypocritical. That's... that's why I reacted the way I did.

[baruthumos]

I have been informed that...I misunderstood the exact harshness of the words. And I deserved every bit of it, not saying that I didn't. But I hope that will help you believe me if I tell you I won't do that again.

[Tomorrow, he is going to murder the punching bag.]
