Day 208 - Friday, July 17th

[papalobo]

[Ash's alarm is going off at seven, which seems entirely too early to Max, drugs worn off enough to wake with the noise, worn off enough to know the meal he prepared last night is still probably good to go with a quick reheat. There really is no reason to get up so early, is there? Unless he has things to do.

Max can't do things. Why would he know if Ash had things to do?]

That's so cute, but you don't have to be so embarrassed. Just tell me how much you like hearing about how adorable you are.

[papalobo]

You just don't seem like you can stop sayin' it.

[jadedlynx]

What? Are you being shy now? You were glowing at hearing how adorable you are a few seconds ago? Are you too shy now? That's cute, too.

[papalobo]

Man, are you into me...

[jadedlynx]

[ He frowns. It's audible in his voice. ]

Just a bit confused. You wanted me to say how cute you were, and now you're dancing around it. What's wrong, Max? Don't you want to hear it now?

[papalobo]

Not especially.

[jadedlynx]

Why the change of mind? You're even recording so you could hear it again later.

[papalobo]

If you got it out your system, that's fine with me.

[jadedlynx]

You're embarrassed~

[papalobo]

Ain't that you? Afraid to have it on record?

[jadedlynx]

What's the point unless you want to hear it?

[papalobo]

Since when do you just say what other people wanna hear?

[jadedlynx]

When they looked as excited as you, even I eventually cave.

[papalobo]

Well, you can stop unless you just got somethin' you gotta let out.

[jadedlynx]

Stop?

[ His voice sounds confused. ]

Why would I start if you don't want to hear it.

[papalobo]

Guess that's the end of that, then.

[jadedlynx]

[ With a grin that was more teasing and less complimenting, Ash takes the last bite of pancakes and pushes it toward Max. ]

Then you're back to Old Man.

[papalobo]

Fun while it lasted.

[jadedlynx]

You really had fun being called cute?

[papalobo]

You're normally a lot more stingy with compliments 'n all.

[jadedlynx]

If I used them as easily as everybody else, they're cheap. If I use them, you know I mean them.

[papalobo]

So I'm that cute to you, huh?

[jadedlynx]

Old guys aren't very cute at all.

[ His compliments seem to have run out. ]

[papalobo]

[With a sigh, he stands up, moving to gather the dishes.]

[jadedlynx]

Use the chair. I'm going to be around today so you might need to use the steps for something else.
