i don't think the mechanic thing counts. it's not even half a job.
candy corn and reece's are also acquired.
and yeah.
billy's cool. and we didn't actually fly there so i still had something solid beneath my feet?
also it's not the first time he's had to stop me from falling on my face.

[ Guess who's forgotten the milk? ]

[quaerit]

You had an interview! It counts. Anyway, I'll pay you back for the candy corn.

[ He knows Adam's fear of spending. He has also forgotten the milk, though. Gansey always forgets the milk; he doesn't drink it. ]

When did you fall on your face?

[aberth]

swear-in.
i walked into him and he panicked and we both ended up in the air because magic.
get him to show you the model thing he can do the next time you see him.
i said you'd love it.

[quaerit]

I like the walking on air part, honestly.

What's the model?

[aberth]

it was de chima.
he makes it out of magic.

[quaerit]

Then I would love it.

[ But given that he's still awkward about...anything relating to Billy right now, he's moving on from this subject. ]

So, tell me about Halloween. Did that maybe of yours include costumes, and that sort of thing?

[aberth]

we're too old to trick or treat.

[ :( Costumes :( ]

[quaerit]

When did I say anything about trick or treating? People are more likely to knock on our door than the other way around.

[aberth]

we're not going to just want to sit around in costume for no reason.
well, maybe noah will.

[quaerit]

So? We make our own reason. Since when did we ever need to rely on anyone else for our entertainment?

And besides, you can't say the thought of convincing Lynch to wear a costume isn't hilarious to you.

[aberth]

it hadn't occurred to me but now that's all i want.
let's do it.

[quaerit]

Yes?

Good. When are you coming back, by the way?

[aberth]

fifteen minutes, max.

[quaerit]

See you then.
