[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!

[deadtective]

Because this isn't about what I want, it's about you!

[HOW DO PEOPLE DEAL WITH THIS STUFF, HAZEL HAS NO IDEA. she groans, and there's a muffled sound as she drops her face into her hands melodramatically.]

Stop trying to find some magic answer that's going to shut me up, because it doesn't exist.

[darkov]

That's--that's not what I want to do! I just-- I don't know the right thing. I don't know how things work, and when I pick something it's bad, and--
