[darkov]

[eh? a soft, confused sound. changing topics isn't as easy for him, but this one's at least not that far gone:] O-oh...Uh, alright.

...Thank you.

[deadtective]

[she makes a dismissive noise since the lack of video means she can't just flap her hand and achieve the same effects.]

It's not difficult or time-consuming, you don't have to thank me for it. You can thank me after I buy you a million ugly sweaters for winter.

[darkov]

Uh--? What? I don't...

[deadtective]

That's nonnegotiable. November rolls around and we're getting you decked out for the cold season whether you like it or not.

[darkov]

[so many words and ideas he just. doesn't know. it's so much.

dazed:] I--uh. Uh, alright...I...

[deadtective]

Good, don't fight it. [Hazel, phrasing...] I'll let you actually pick stuff out when we go soon, ok?

[darkov]

We're...going...somewhere?

[deadtective]

We're going on an adventure. A fashion adventure.

[darkov]

Wh...at-?

[deadtective]

You'll understand when we get there.

[darkov]

Wu-wait, when-? I...I don't understand--

[deadtective]

I don't know, when are you free? ...or I guess it's when am I free, you don't do anything.

[darkov]

[still flustering:] U-uh, I...I don't know...

[deadtective]

How much advance notice do I have to give you to keep meltdowns to a minimal? Like, a week? Two weeks?

[darkov]

Um...

[deadtective]

I'm not giving you more than two weeks, you have to pick from these options.

[darkov]

Uh-- [oh no he has to make decisions? yikes.] I...I mean...whatever you think...is good...I don't know.

[deadtective]

I don't know what's good for you, that's the whole point in asking.

[darkov]

[gnnnnn,.] I--I really don't know. I'm sorry. I'm not sure what...What you want me to do? To go somewhere?

[deadtective]

I just need you to pick a general window of time where you've had long enough to mentally prepare yourself for leaving the house. That's it. You don't even need to look at the calendar because I'm picking the date!

[darkov]

[NERVOUS:] I-I can go right now, if you want! [marty it's like midnight.]

[deadtective]

Would you fucking stop that!

[darkov]

U-uh?! What--I...

[deadtective]

I'm not giving you up to two weeks of options for shits and giggles! Doing it right away isn't going to make me any happier, especially not when everything's closed!

[darkov]

[he's barely trying to understand, more focused on find the thing to say that makes her happy and end this. it's hard.

an edge of desperation:] I don't understand! You said you--you wanted me to pick. I...I picked, now you're not...not happy with it. I don't get it at all! I don't know what you want!
