-3° - Should Old Acquaintance Be Forgot

[catchacold]

[The feed comes to life and Leonard's sitting in his room, mostly illuminated by candle-light, which does soften the still visible bruises (as a result of this) on his face a little. He's playing with a lighter in one hand, turning it, palming it and flipping it open and shut, but never actually lighting it.

Mostly he looks at the camera, both eye by now able to open fully again.]

Time doesn't really seem to do much in the way of passing here, but things happen anyway. So, guess this is still a worthwhile question.

You got any resolutions?

[Which of course also begs the question whether he has any himself. He looks as if he wants to keep talking at first, but his mouth stays shut and he looks off past the camera, the flame of a candle reflected in his eyes. Finally he cuts off the video.]

We'll just see about that. You can watch me put ice on my face.

[Compromise.]

[plutonicideals]

But we're gonna have bandaids and disinfectant and everything, too.

[catchacold]

I'm bruised, not bleeding. Internal.

[First Aid 101.]

Can't disinfect that.

[plutonicideals]

Maybe there's a study that says it's possible it'll help.

[She knows there's not, more than likely, but she really just wants him to get better sooner even if it means trying some stuff.]

[catchacold]

Would help me reek of disinfectant.

Also, giving you a heads up for the future: Studies say all sorts of things, they're not always true.

[plutonicideals]

But some have to be.

And at least you know there would be no germs if we used disinfectant and you could have the security of knowing you won't get sick because of those specific germs.

[catchacold]

You girls really must go to an especially good school.

[Drily, though he doubts she'll notice that.]

[plutonicideals]

[Nope, straight over her head.]

It's the best school, except when my dad makes our lives a way to teach us history.

[catchacold]

Your dad's a teacher? [Seems the logical conclusion here.]

Your lives especially historic? Cause I only know the literal way for that to happen.

[Time travel.]

[plutonicideals]

He's a really good one most of the time. But sometimes he finds a way to be like, "oh your relationship reminds me of this event in history!" and then whatever problem we have works out and he tells us in the next class that history worked out like that too.

Sometimes.

He teaches us a lot of lessons like that.

[catchacold]

That's... convenient.

[At this juncture, can he even be surprised? Not really. He knows too much about those two girls.]

Speaking of relationships. I met a friend of yours.

[plutonicideals]

—You did?? Who?

[catchacold]

Kanji, if I recall right.

[He does recall right, he's got a good memory.]

Rings a bell?

[plutonicideals]

Yeah, of course!

Kanji's just one of the coolest guys I've met here.

[catchacold]

Really? Good for him. He went real red talking about you and Maya.

[plutonicideals]

—Wait, he did? Really? Why?

[catchacold]

Don't really know.

[He's the worst.]

We were talking about crushes.

[plutonicideals]

You weren't.

[catchacold]

Would I lie to you?

[plutonicideals]

Nnnnooooyesmaybe.

[It all just comes out in one long slur as she considers that question.]

I don't think you'd lie about important things.

[catchacold]

[He has to smile at that, nodding since that's more awareness than he'd have expected.]

Ain't lying about that either. Don't worry, he gave nothing away.

[plutonicideals]

[Hopefully this doesn't become the Triangle. The Triangle is terrible and they don't need more triangles. She is having flashbacks to the Triangle with Lucas.]

I'm not worried!! I just—wasn't expecting that! That's all!

[catchacold]

[The face of someone who's not worried, he sees it right now.

It's fun.

They should tell him about the Triangle some time. He might have an unconventional solution to the problem.]

Gotcha.

You tell me if he bothers you.

[plutonicideals]

There is nothing to be bothered!!

[Unconventional solutions are always welcome, honestly.]

[catchacold]

[Come at him and be prepared to have your mind blown.]

Hey, I hope so. He seems like a good kid. Just tell me if there's bother.
