Hi.

Hi.

[ ... ]

So, new place, huh?

Re: [video]

[daddyissues]

Yeah, a two bedroom in Baldr.

[video]

[helps]

Oh. Good. Hel always seemed like a pretty bad neighbor-

[ wait. ]

Two bedroom?

Re: [video]

[daddyissues]

Hel is fine, it's just that all the housing there was for four.

[whoops he was going to work up to that]

Yup.

[video]

[helps]

[ a nod. ]

So you're going to have like... a roommate or something, right?

Re: [video]

[daddyissues]

Yeah. You remember Sophie?

[video]

[helps]

Yeah. You're, uh... friend.

Re: [video]

[daddyissues]

[awkwardddddd]

More than friend, actually. She wasn't the first time you asked.

[video]

[helps]

Oh. Well... that's good. I'm glad for you.

[ though... they're already moving in together? ]

But, uh, are you sure you're not moving things too fast?

Re: [video]

[daddyissues]

We've had this planned for a long time. The moving.

This might be easier to talk about in person.

[video]

[helps]

Yeah, I'll come... uh... wherever you need me to.

Say the word and I'm there.

Re: [video]

[daddyissues]

My friend works at a cafe? It's decent.

[video]

[helps]

I'll be there.

Re: [video]

[daddyissues]

Ten minutes?

[tells him where it is and turns off the feed]

[video] -> [action]

[helps]

[ he'll get there promptly as quickly as he can then, arriving a few minutes early and taking a seat as he waits.

still not used to this whole "dad" thing, but this is going pretty well... right? that's what he tells himself, anyway. ]

[daddyissues]

[connor is there pretty quickly -- he comes in wearing clothes that actually fit him (unlike the last few times) and has a hardware store bag over his shoulder.]

You got here fast. Excited to lecture?

[he sits and hangs the bag over the back of the chair]

[action]

[helps]

That wasn't really the plan.

[ though he's not quite sure what the plan is. ]

What have you got there? [ he nods towards the bag, a little curious. ]

Re: [action]

[daddyissues]

[he motions to the server, coffee would be good]

Oh. Bathroom and kitchen stuff, cleaning supplies... nothing exciting.

[helps]

Oh. Right. For the new place.

[ he motions to the server that he wants a cup too, before settling back in his chair. ] So how's it going so far? You know, the whole... thing.

[daddyissues]

It's better than the welcome hall. We always have hot water, it's quieter, no one bugs you if you're up late... she cooks.

[helps]

Right. The place.

[ maybe he should consider moving out sometime soon too... but for now... ]

So tell me more about the girl.

[daddyissues]

[You need a job first, dad.

Connor leans back in his chair as their coffee shows up, then fusses with a sugar packet.]

Any specific questions I can start with?

[helps]

[ he's working on that. sort of. ]

How'd you meet?

[ let's start with the basics. ]

[daddyissues]

We're both in Hel. When I got here the house was really small, she'd turned into the welcome wagon for being there the longest.

Neither of us were dealing very well with losing our abilities.
