Answer my next question and I'll tell you. What do you think of Zeke Zelizer?

DM, 12/12

[rainbowfish]

Oh, jeez. [...] I don't really know him that well outside of work, but he seems cool.

DM, 12/12

[imaginist]

Yes, he's certainly trying hard to convey a certain image. [...] There's a gap in my notes when it comes to Zeke. I want to spend time with him in a controlled environment, but then Crysta wants you to come along too.

DM, 12/12

[rainbowfish]

Are we all having dinner together or am I having dinner with Crysta while you do experiments on Zeke?

DM, 12/12

[imaginist]

It will have to be together. Crysta doesn't trust me with Zeke unsupervised.

DM, 12/12

[rainbowfish]

I wonder why.

DM, 12/12

[imaginist]

I'm merely getting to know a work colleague. And if you come with us, you can fulfil your social quota for the week.

DM, 12/12

[rainbowfish]

I do also just like hanging out with you, for the record.

DM, 12/12

[imaginist]

[...] I know that. Of course.

What's your availability this month? Zeke will be exceptionally stressed out by the type of dinner plans that require a reservation.

DM, 12/12

[rainbowfish]

[...] I'm free whenever.

DM, 12/12

[imaginist]

You're not planning to go home for the holidays?

DM, 12/12

[rainbowfish]

Maybe. [...] I kind of don't want to deal with getting pulled in a dozen different directions again.

DM, 12/12

[imaginist]

You should see whom you want to see. Surely you already fulfilled your familial obligations last month, and whoever can wait another year before demanding your attention again.

DM, 12/12

[rainbowfish]

I want to be here.

DM, 12/12

[imaginist]

Oh. [...] Well. I'll be here. And I have no respect at all when it comes to demanding your attention.

DM, 12/12

[rainbowfish]

You're allowed to demand my attention. [...] I'd like to make you dinner sometime, by the way. Preferably without Zeke and Crysta in attendance.

DM, 12/12

[imaginist]

What if I called you at a truly unreasonable hour to ask for something? Would I still be allowed?

I am wary but intrigued.

DM, 12/12

[rainbowfish]

If you needed me, yeah.

Don't be wary. It's just dinner.

DM, 12/12

[imaginist]

I don't [...] Hmm. Maybe I'll test that.

Alright. What do I need to do for this?

DM, 12/12

[rainbowfish]

You don’t need to do anything. Just come over sometime and I’ll make you dinner.

DM, 12/12

[imaginist]

Doing nothing is hardly the action of a courteous guest. But fine. Let me know which evening, and I'll make time.

Not this weekend, though. This Saturday, you're coming with me to Colchester to watch me terrorise my sister's date.
