On the 16th there's going to be a St. Patrick's Day festival for families at the community center in town - they need help with all sorts of things like set-up, running concessions, painting faces, running games, and a bit of babysitting, too. Hopefully at least some of that sounds like fun; you can let me know if you prefer anything in particular! And your kid interaction can be as much or as little as you want, promise.

[Flint]

Hey. What're your plans for this Saturday?

[Francesca]

Do you believe in ghosts? I mean, separate from whatever is going on with the Shadow World.

I'll find something for you to do that mostly doesn't involve glitter, promise.

[Flint]

Ouch. Although, you're the one who's dating someone ancient.

[...]

That's If we could After Maybe I'm [...] Have I told you how terrible you are, lately?

Community Outreach

I'll take a shift or two with babysitting. Or whatever ends up being the least popular job, if not that. What are you doing?

[Scout]
No. Usually, you're rather nice to me.

Community Outreach

[star_boy]

Probably whatever ends up being the least popular job, so maybe I'll make you suffer that with me.

[Flint]

And you're so mean to me. It's really unfair.

[...]

There really is a sad lack of privacy here, though.

Community Outreach

[empereurs]

Spending even more time with you? I can't think of anything worse.

[Scout]
You really shouldn't let me take advantage of your forgiving nature.

I know. But we can have a nice date, even if we can't find privacy.

Flint/Scout

[star_boy]

I know, but you're so charming when you're not picking on me. Even sometimes when you're picking me, too.

[...]

We can. And we'll have a moderate amount of privacy, at least.

Flint/Scout

[empereurs]

Anyone ever tell you that you need higher standards for boys?

I [...] could ask for an empty room as my roommate birthday present.

Flint/Scout

[star_boy]

Never, I've only ever liked very upstanding young men, even if they're a little rough around the edges sometimes.

[...]

If you want to, I wouldn't be opposed to it. But it's obviously up to you.

Flint/Scout

[empereurs]

I can't think of anyone who fits that description.

[...] You're worth suffering through that conversation with my roommates.

Flint/Scout

[star_boy]

Sounds like one of us is a bad judge of character.

[...]

It's also [...] easy enough for me to talk to Adam and Atticus.

Flint/Scout

[empereurs]

Why, Mr. Thoroughgood. Did you just insult my judgment?

Notorious gossip Adam Ho and my stepbrother's boyfriend? Maybe if we get desperate.

Flint/Scout

[star_boy]

Maybe a little, but you brought it on yourself.

[...]

Mm, it sounds so much worse when you put it like that. But "you're worth suffering through that conversation with my roommates." If you want.

I was just going to borrow you for the morning, but maybe I'll just h ta borrow you through the afternoon.

Flint/Scout

[empereurs]

Ouch. I'm starting wonder if you're not as nice a young man as I thought.

I know. Thank you. But it's alright, I already talked to Sam. Might as well go all the way now that I've started.

You can have me for as long I might like that. Did you want to do anything in particular?

Flint/Scout

[star_boy]

In my defense, I never claimed I was a nice young man.

Poor Ashton. He's a good sport. And Sam, too.

[...]

I have plans for breakfast, but otherwise it's up to you.

Flint/Scout

[empereurs]

Which adjective would you say is more appropriate?

Mmhm. I'm lucky. My friends are forced to put up with a lot.

Breakfast. You're really spoiling me.

Flint/Scout

[star_boy]

Hmm, a sort of ok young man?

I'm really the inconvenient one in you roommates' lives.

Does it count as spoiling since I'm making you go on a run before?

Flint/Scout

[empereurs]

You're a lot more than "ok." In several areas, I'd even say you're quite good.

I'm the one who keeps making demands on your time. It's really unreasonable.

Ah, well. I could probably afford to work off some excess energy.

Flint/Scout

[star_boy]

You're too sweet to me. You also score 'quite good' in some areas.

Luckily, I kind of like it.

I could, too, so thanks for humoring me.
