I'll drink to that.

*?* You agree?

With the sentiment, yes. I do not know you, so I could not hate you. But the sentiment is familiar.

I'm sorry.

I don't understand how anyone doesn't hate me.

Those who do not know you have no right to hate you.

They know me, so they should.

I won't argue with you, not knowing the situation, but I can certainly understand the.. feeling of not being hated when you deserve it.

What happened?

I had someone killed. And helped do it.

...I've killed and hurt many people.

You have my sympathy.

Thank you.

Norrin, my dear, you can be a twit sometimes.

Is that a yes?

It's a 'you're a young foolish idiot today'. Like with Brennan, you'd still be allowed to see Grace. You treat children well, we both know that.

Yes, or no?

If I had known who her parents were, this could have been avoided.

No.

OR you could be a man and keep spending time with her. Surprise everyone.

No one says yes.

You might want it, but I doubt Bobby does.

You're oddly difficult to hate.

Do I have to make you two talk with me as a moderator? Because I'll do it.

No matter what I do.

He should have a say in who his own children are allowed to talk to.

Apparently not.

That's why I'm offering to moderate. Quit being a ninny.

It's not enough to ask him yourself?

Whatever animosity is between us has nothing to do with whom I let my kid talk to. I know you won't hurt her. End of story.

You must be wrong. I already did.

I meant you won't intentionally hurt her.

It's all the same to her.

So you're just going to let her think she can't talk to you? If you make it up to her, she'll forget about it in a week. Little kids are more resilient about some things than most adults.

...she might.

What do you want me to say? She's going to hate you for the rest of her life because you tried to look out for her? I'm not going to indulge in your immense amounts of self-pity. She'll get over it before you do.

Then you should tell her she can talk to me.

No, that's your job because it was you who said she couldn't.

If I see her again.

Try finding her?

I might.

*finally speaks up*
Do it, Norrin.

Maybe.

Maybe my ass. You don't care about Grace any more than... You know what, don't bother. I'll tell her that her friend doesn't want to see her anymore.

........... *:/*

If that's what you want.

What he wants is for you to be a man for once in your damned life and stop being an idiot. Either you care enough about Grace to be her friend or you don't.

...what do you want me to say? I'm not saying I won't.

You're not saying that you will. I want you to be the man you're going to need to be for your son and make a damned decision so we can deal with the fallout of your idiocy.

Alright.
