[She sighs.]

Not really. I'll give it a try and let you know how it goes on Tuesday night. At least it's my turn to write the note this week.

[nonbelligerent]

Any idea what you plan to write?

[foodbin]

It depends who he picks. Last time I just picked something generic and nice since I don't know Feral that well.

[nonbelligerent]

So you pick the recipient before the message's contents?

[foodbin]

Yep. He made up this whole bullshit game, where I can see what he's writing when it's his turn, but I can't tell him to change it or write something different entirely. Which probably explains yours, right?

[nonbelligerent]

[why do you have to keep him reminding him.]

Honestly, things made much more sense when I realized you were the one who picked me. It seemed highly unlikely that I would have been his choice.

[foodbin]

Yeah. He still won't tell me why he picked Feral, but I'm willing to bet it was stupid.

[nonbelligerent]

What did you write, anyway?

[foodbin]

That he was doing good and to keep it up.

[...]

That was before the whole mouth sniffing thing.

[nonbelligerent]

[he laughs a little (silently).

sorry!]

[foodbin]

If I got to send it to him now, it would have been a little bit different.

[nonbelligerent]

Oh? What would you write now?

[foodbin]

Probably something along the lines of why.

[nonbelligerent]

His sense of smell has its uses, though.

[foodbin]

And yet, the question remains.

[nonbelligerent]

He's doing his best. Probably.

[foodbin]

[She can't help but laugh, surprised.]

Just probably?

[nonbelligerent]

Well, I don't know him very well.

[foodbin]

Then it's a pretty uncertain probably, isn't it?

[nonbelligerent]

I like to give people the benefit of the doubt.

[foodbin]

You are a nicer person than most.

[nonbelligerent]

Is that what we're calling it?

[foodbin]

What would you call it, then?

[nonbelligerent]

Diplomatic. Things usually go more poorly if you go in with guns blazing.

[foodbin]

[She shrugs.]

Depends. I'd say there are some people who diplomacy is wasted on.
