[Warded Private, after momentary consideration]
~~Blah blah, complaints about the rain, Disney is stupid, witticisms, etc.~~

[...]

~~I don't actually want to talk to most of you.~~

[Warded to Ari]
My parents will be at Cotillion, just so it's not a surprise. [...] And also Sofia and I are no longer on speaking terms, just so that's also not a surprise. ~~But who's to say she hasn't already spread that around the school.~~ I'm sure things will be uneventful, but I'm sorry if there's a bit of awkwardness.

[Warded to Cole & Calvin]
Do you want anything from New York?

[...]

~~[Warded to Sofia]~~
~~Are you~~

[...] All right.

What did she do?

[...]

She refuses to take care of herself, and I don't have time to play caretaker for her. And the discussion of that ended poorly.

I've noticed that she's been [...] sullen, recently.

She does love to let everyone know.

[...]

She needs to do something about her problems, and unsurprisingly I'm not the best at delivering that sort of advice to someone with an overabundance of feelings. So. Here we are. I'm ~~hoping~~ assuming she's not ridiculous enough to make a scene at Cotillion, though, so it should be fine.

No, that doesn't seem like her style.

Are you [...] still worried about her?

She surprises me sometimes, though, so I won't entirely believe it until we're there.

[...]

I The worrying will pass soon. I don't hold onto things long.

Are you looking forward to Cotillion? Or the city, at least?

If she won't talk to you, letting it go is all you can do.

I am. I borrowed a dress from Kenzie.

Exactly. It's gotten past the point where I can do anything for her anyway. Hopefully she'll figure it out on her own.

Kenzie has good taste in clothing so I'm sure it's beautiful, but I don't doubt you'd look good in anything. [...] I'm sorry, though. I should have offered to buy you something.

She should talk to Dr. Perry.

Why? I didn't agree to go with you just so you'd buy me things.

The easiest solution - but no, she won't. Because "talking gets you nowhere."

I would never think that of you, but it would have been the polite thing for me to do. And I'm supposed to be the epitome of polite in preparation for Cotillion.

I don't like it either, but it [...] helps. ~~I could talk t~~

I'd make fun of the notion that dressing me up like a doll would be polite, but it does seem in the spirit of the event.

I know. She's stubborn, though. One of her friends will tell her eventually, I'm sure. Maybe she'll listen to them. [...] And she's been too worried about me, it seems. So maybe now she can take that out of the equation.

Throwing money around is the peak of politeness at Cotillion.

I'm her friend. [...] But I won't stick my nose in your business.

Maybe you can get me a souvenir in New York.

I know, but I wouldn't ask you to do that. I don't see it as you sticking your nose in my business - it just wouldn't be fair of me.

Happily. Then I'll be worthy of Cotillion.

You're not asking. I offered.

I'm aware. [...] You should do whatever you want to. If you say anything she might think I asked you to and be surly about it, but even in that case I doubt it could make things worse.

If she doesn't want to be helped, she doesn't want to be helped. But sometimes it's harder to talk to family.

Very true. And I'm not well equipped for helping someone like her, even without the familial connection. I did the most I could.

i don't think so. i don't really know anything about new york.

[...]

so you're going to cotillion??

Well, I'll keep an eye out for something anyway.

And I am - I'm bringing Ari.

oh. thanks, ramon.

i hope you guys have fun!! are you excited?

Of course.

And I think we will have fun. [...] Moderately excited. I like parties, and my parents will be there. And a trip to a city sounds nice right now. Do you have plans?

It doesn't sound very relaxing, but I feel obligated to tell you to relax.

I'm going to tag along with some seniors (including the Hermeticism TA) to see what material they're working on. Cole, you can come as well if you're not neck deep in a painting.

seeing his mom will be relaxing, right? ramon's always happier after he's seen his mom.

[...] like a study session??

I hope it does him well. Send your best to your mum for us, Ramon.

For them, yes. For us, it'll be a peek into the future. I want to know what the seniors are working on.

I appreciate the thought, Calvin, but you know me; I'm always relaxed. Seeing my mother will be nice, though. I'll be sure to tell her.

Getting ahead isn't a bad idea - Cole, you should go for a bit.

no you're not. nobody is. [...] but. yeah!! definitely tell her hi for us.

[...] ok. i'll go, then.

Edited (Sorry Ramon~ ♥) 2017-11-10 04:01 (UTC)

Mmhm. You're a soothing presence.

[...] I realise this is vague, but if you can find a film that would impress Micah and bring it back for me, I'd appreciate it.

Edited (you can ask marin what this actually entails this is a shitty request) 2017-11-10 06:05 (UTC)

At least most of the time, I hope.

To impress Micah? Sure, I can find something.
