How Green Becomes Wood

[pandakatiefominz]

My little sister is soooo little and cute, it's hard not to want to do anything for her 🥺 Milo sent back.

 

[BookKnight]

She also tried to eat a worm today, Xander replied, exaggerating just a little. A full earthen worm. Cute only carries you so far in a case like that.

 

[pandakatiefominz]

Who among us has never attempted to eat a worm?

 

[BookKnight]

I'm thinking a lot of people. If Mini asked, would you eat a worm? I wouldn't.

 

[pandakatiefominz]

If she gave you plastic food pretending like she cooked it, would you pretend to eat it?

 

[BookKnight]

I don't know. I guess so? Is that like the idea of when a kid hands you a phone or something? I'd be hella unconvincing because I've seen where that stuff's been.

 

[pandakatiefominz]

I don't think you need to be convincing to make a child believe you, Milo texted back, Especially because they know it isn't actually real.

 

[BookKnight]

Then why am I fake eating fake food that everyone knows is fakery? Xander demanded.

 

[pandakatiefominz]

Idk, it probably teaches sharing and cooperation or something. Everything little kids do teaches them something. Milo replied, and after sending the text went to look it up.

 

[BookKnight]

Xander groaned. And this is why I end up doing whatever it is she wants so I don't accidentally stunt her growth or something. You should come over sometime and give her someone to play with.

 

[pandakatiefominz]

I don't think you're going to stunt her lmao And I guess I can come over, it's not like I have anything going on. It's cool to catch up with what she's doing. Plus then we get to hang out

 

[BookKnight]

Glad to know I now play second fiddle to my kid sister. But yeah, you can come anytime, basically. I don't think we're doing anything tomorrow. Or next week if you need some time to prep for it.

 

[pandakatiefominz]

Tbf you explicitly invited me to play with her, not to hang out with you, Milo texted back, And I'll let you know when I can

 

[BookKnight]

Xander snorted. Fair. Laters, Stitch. He sat back and picked up a book, waiting for when Alec would get home or Sloan texted him, whichever would come first.

 

[pandakatiefominz]

I misread that as "Fair Waters" and I thought that was uncommonly flowery for you Milo replied, putting his phone aside.

Some time later, Sloan messaged If I had to guess, I'm taking 4th or 5th in bars, I'm not sure where I stand overall

 

[BookKnight]

Right on, Xander texted Sloan. That's real good for your first meet. Make new friends? Or enemies?

 

[pandakatiefominz]

No enemies, which is lame, I was hoping for a nemesis. But the other women are pretty cool, I've spoken with a couple of them before. It's weird though, the vibe is the same but also totally different.

 

[BookKnight]

Yeah? Expound on that for me. What's vibin and not vibin?

 

[pandakatiefominz]

It's hard to explain, Sloan texted back, It's like, it's still a meet, so it's what I'm used to. But like... the pressure is different.

 

[BookKnight]

Is that good or bad? Xander asked, adjusting his position.
