That does make me feel better.

[ wow!! He just sighs ]

Somehow I'm not surprised you're in a Unit with Klaus. So. Where am I taking out trash today?

That's up to you, I'd think. Have ya even been on a date before, kid?

I'm older than you and also engaged.

So yes.

I have.

[he raises his eyebrows]

Hey now, that's leapin' to some conclusions. You don't know how old I am.

And you don't know how old I am so how is it any different?

[ a pause though, because he's curious now ]

So how old are you?

Dunno! My profile thing says I "appear 22," so no guessin' what that means. Not sure I knew before, either, actually. Though I get the impression I'd been doin' what I was doin' for a long, long time.

Well until proven otherwise I'm older.

You can think that if ya want. I'm assumin' I'm older.

[ just rolling his eyes!! But look. He's totally older. it matters to him ]

Whatever. Let's just go walk somewhere and get this bullshit over and done with.

Sure, sure. So, what, are ya plannin' to stick with just a stroll around the block?

No, we're going to get coffee so at least I get something good out of this.

Eh... C'mon, at least go for a real drink.

That is, if yer old enough.

If we're going for a "real drink" you're paying.

What...

[SIGHS]

...Guess I can spring for it this once. This is gonna be unbearable without it.

I did explicitly say in my profile I don't like people in general so you should have expected this.

But I do like drinking, so. Thanks for the treat.

What a coincidence. I also like drinking and hate people in general.

So many things in common already. A perfect date really.

Sounds like.

You got a favorite drinkin' spot?

Not really.

To be honest I've been better with my drinking habits but if I'm a mood to drink I'll just drink anywhere.

Though I guess there's something nice about a scenery, so. We can go to the park.

Then I'll grab us a bottle of somethin' good and we can head out there.

Sounds good to me.

We can go our separate ways once the bottle is finished between the two of us.

Guess I should save some room for a few bottles with my other dates.

Are your dates so bad you have to get drunk for them?

Eh? I dunno, I don't even know most of 'em. Prob'ly not any worse than people generally.

But that means drinkin's prob'ly gonna be the most fun part.
