... So you had it worse, I get it.

[blueondeck]

Do you really?

[redmarksthespot]

What's that supposed to mean?

[blueondeck]

Nothing.

[redmarksthespot]

Joe.

[blueondeck]

Marvelous?

[redmarksthespot]

It was shitty, and it pissed me off, and that's all obvious. Who wants to get laughed at for being stuck as a bird? Nobody. And nobody likes freezing their ass off making sure some other idiot isn't freezing. It was stupid.

And I woulda done it anyway even if you'd said it before.

[blueondeck]

. . .

What's all of that for?

[redmarksthespot]

Someone said I was pissed.

[blueondeck]

You mean Takeru.

[redmarksthespot]

Yeah, I mean that guy.

[blueondeck]

So you should have just said it. I knew you were with him, and I knew he'd be the only one to ask you.

[redmarksthespot]

Does it make a difference? It's still true.

[blueondeck]

What was your point? Just to say you would have done it anyway? I knew that. There was no point in telling you because of that.

[redmarksthespot]

You think?

[blueondeck]

I've already said I knew it would happen and didn't mind.

[redmarksthespot]

Maybe I felt like saying it.

[blueondeck]

. . .

[Oh well. Shrug]

Next year I will get you something practical.

[redmarksthespot]

We'll see.

[blueondeck]

I mean it.

[redmarksthespot]

Alright.

[everything tastes better when it's not rat]

[blueondeck]

[But now this sandwich is drenched with discomfort]
