That was rude!

[ HE SAYS, SOUNDING DELIGHTED ]

[rebornagain]

You don't seem to mind.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

It was also funny, so you get a pass.

[rebornagain]

Anyway, I'll remember to call you a kid in front of her.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ thumbs up 8Db!! ]

Thanks. You'll get bonus points if you look as innocent as possible while doing it.

[rebornagain]

I always look innocent.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

Trust me, you did not look even slightly innocent when you dropped that on me.

[rebornagain]

[he doesn't notice the subtle shift, not as he is. it'll be a while before he realizes what changed, and what's so odd about it.]

Nonsense.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ and Chris, of course, doesn't really have the context to notice at all. ]

You looked like a cat that had gotten into cream.

[rebornagain]

It's hard not to enjoy such a golden chance.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

Hey, I didn't say you shouldn't. Just that if you make that sort of face you don't get the bonus points.

[rebornagain]

I'll do my best.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ AND THEN, about an hour and an obscene amount of sunscreen later: ]

Yael, time's up!

[rebornagain]

[kid could probably use sunscreen too, not gonna lie, but he just kind of huffs and stands from his nook and book.]

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

You can bring the book, if you want—

[ sort of squinting at him as he realizes that, yes ]

...mmm, and actually, I should get something. I'll meet you at the door in a moment.

[ trotting back off ]

[rebornagain]

[tucking the book under his arm '^']

What did you forget?

[but heading for the door.]

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ calling back ]

That you need sun protection almost as much as I do right now.

[rebornagain]

...I know my eyes are odd, but you do know I'm not actually a vampire, right?

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ coming back with a monster bottle of sunscreen. someone buys in bulk, ok ]

You don't have to be a vampire to get sunburned. Have you looked at yourself in a mirror lately?

[rebornagain]

He didn't keep mirrors.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

Of course he didn't, because he was a superstitious piece of... garbage.

—Anyway, you're pale enough to blind someone. Since I'm the one insisting you go out I'm at least going to make sure you don't come back bright red.

[rebornagain]

[holds his hand out.]

I'll do it.

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ nods and passes the bottle over before plopping himself down on the little mudroom bench by the door ]

[rebornagain]

[doing a pretty cursory sunscreening, but with steady hands, like he's totally used to it.]

[bitethehandthatfeeds]

[ well I guess I'm sticking you under a tree later

waiting for him to finish up before holding his hand out for the sunscreen. it'll get stuck under the bench rather than put away properly because IT'S TIME FOR A WALK ]
