Kids these days, forgetting what it's like to read books, huh?

[He attempts to keep a straight face but fails, using the cover of his burger so he can hide his mouth and snicker.]

[She snorts and rolls her eyes.]

Mmmhmm. I just want to be an author to give culture back to my friends.

Maybe I could...

[Oh. Maybe this is awkward.]

Maybe I could draw your book covers.

Hm? Ohhh... You're an artist, Tobias?

Oh. Um... yeah. I'm not the best, but I'm okay...

That's so cool! I can like...doodle? A little? But I'm crap at real drawing. I'd love to see your work sometime! If, uh, you don't feel weird sharing it.

Oh, no, it's... fine. I mostly doodle my Pokemon. Sometimes I'll take a picture and try drawing it. It's good practice.

It's more than I could do, I'm sure.

Thanks for meeting up with me, by the way. This is nice, just...doing something normal.

It's mostly practice, really. But... I like doing normal things. You have to take them where you can, right?

I definitely understand that.

[At least, she does now at least.]

[He nods and works on is burger some more, until there's just the fries left.]

Okay, question. Do you drizzle ketchup on your fries or dip them?

It's gotta be drizzle.

That's so weird. You're weird. What if you get a fry that doesn't have anything on it?

That makes it fun! It's kinda like a game of chance, right? Youuu hope it falls well enough so it'll get everything, but if it doesn't you hope you're not left with a bunch of dry fries at the end.

That sounds pretty gross to me.

[He laughs a little and squirts some ketchup in a small pool on his plate.]

You're still cool, though. Even if you eat your fries weird.

[An amused snort. She's finishing up her crepe on this end.]

Don't knock it until you try it.

[Nom nom fries.]

Yeah, maybe. Not this time, though. Maybe when I feel like having a food adventure.

I kind of want to learn how to make french fries, but I'm not all that great at cooking. I've gotten a little better, but...

[Still not great.]

Ha, cooking... It's okay, I'm not too good at it either.

I can make a mean TV dinner.

[And that's about it in terms of stuff more complicated than noodles.]

[Jokingly raises her glass of water, like an inch off the table.]

To failures in the kitchen?

[He does the same.]

To kitchen catastrophes.

[Siiiiiiip. And then nom nom fries.]

So at college... do you have a roommate or something?

Yeah, but we're not super close or anything. [Little shrug.] She's pretty easy to live with, either way, so I'm not complaining.

That's good. As long as you aren't bugging each other. I've seen enough roommates that go bad in movies on TV.

It's a worry, but it's not as extreme as TV makes it.

I kind of figured. Most things aren't. There's always those scare stories in the news, too. 'Do you know what teenagers are doing on the internet? It's not as innocent as you'd think!'
