I'd only get so far trusting the rest of them to be able to carry out orders, but I'm flattered you think so highly of me. Really. [ Feel all of that appreciation just oozing from her sarcasm. ] I'm guessing it's not important because you didn't just cut to the chase, then?
There's a light chuckle on his end. He does indeed feel everything behind her sarcasm.]
Fine, fine. Because of the cold weather, a few of the larger ponds have frozen over. Saw some kids ice skating on 'em. [He definitely stressed those two words. She can definitely feel the smirk behind them.] Now if I recall...didn't you say something about ice skating last year?
I might have. [ He's gonna bring that up. Her thing was teaching the rest of their--his--friends to skate, but... ... ...she's not really sure if she still wants to teach all of them. ] You're gonna heckle me into keeping a year old promise, aren't you.
Now, now. You can't just think about promises. You either keep them or break them, and are you really going to want to stoop to my level and break a simple promise?
[Flatly: ] I'm not going to teach the rest of them how to ice skate.
[ But... but let her relent, a little. ] I could... at least offer lessons, I guess, and if they're interested they can come by. You too. It is a lot of fun, even if it's cold and ugh outside.
I mean, you don't have to, you know. If you don't feel confident in your skills, it's understandable. After all, it's been a year and who knows when the last time you tried was.
[It's like at first glance he's being understanding. However, it's very clear that he's just continuing to egg her on by underhandedly implying that she's not confident or good enough to stand by her word.]
fuck, the worst part is she knows. She knows he's just egging her on. She is completely and totally aware that this is happening. This is how people get things from her. It is a tried and true method and she is AWARE OF IT.
That doesn't mean she's not gonna rise up to it, though. ]
It doesn't matter how long it's been, I'll show up anyone who shows up. [ ...heheh. That was fun to say-- ] Next week. Bundle up and get ready to fall on your ass, Alvin.
yeah sure that's what they all say
I thought you could work that kitchen with your eyes blindfolded and hands tied behind your back.
[No. He doesn't answer the question. He just taunts her instead.]
silver is my son... friend... guy... thing.
