[Yes. Yes he does.]

Yeah. It's a shitty choice. But... still. You're not a douche for doing what your girlfriend needs you to do.

The opposite, pretty much.

[Good, don't say that. At all.]

Hah! Tell me about it.

[helladoomed]

I thought she was stubborn back home...

[Chloe just shakes her head, but she has that slightly goofy smile people get when they're talking about someone they're in love with. Oops.]

...Anyway. So, just, try to keep her from doing anything that'll get her, I don't know, electrocuted or something?

[rideme]

Maybe that's her super power here.

[He's only mostly kidding.]

... Got it. I'll do what I can.

[helladoomed]

Wouldn't surprise me.

[And now she's lightning up another cigarette. It's one of those nights.]

Thanks man. Seriously.

[rideme]

Me either.

[He nods his head to her.]

No problem. Seriously.

[helladoomed]

Anyway...[She has a thought, and suddenly she's putting that cigarette right back out.]

I've got half an hour before I have to relieve a terrible escape movie so, I'm going back to back.

[Get a last few minutes of Max-snuggles, probably. What a sap.]

[rideme]

[And another short nod.]

Good luck, kid.

... Get a few more minutes with her, too, yeah?

that should've been 'back to bed' oops.

[helladoomed]

That's the plan.

[She grins and gives a little mock wave (she doesn't really do not-mock waves) and then hangs up with a click.]
