It's Ez. You know what to do, darling.

[smilestopscars]

Dream on, darling.

He was good at hiding it. And when he wasn't, he was excellent at acting like anyone suggesting he'd been reading was just being dumb.

[spin_kick_snap]

Good to have goals? Kathy suggested.

Besides, Kathy had a lovely image of them curled up and reading together and she wasn't about to give that up cause he was stubborn.

[smilestopscars]

Always. But maybe some attainable ones, too.

There were some things that were just his, and for a reason. She was in for a long wait.

So, Halloween, huh?

[spin_kick_snap]

Fair; he deserved to have things that were just for him as well.

If you don't mind spending it with the two of us, watching dumb movies and throwing popcorn at the screen?

Though if Ez would rather spend the evening at a bunch of parties with people dressed up as sexy versions of whatever, Kathy could hardly blame him.

[smilestopscars]

Like I said before, I haven't made competing plans yet. And that sounds like a fine one.

Which didn't mean he definitely would not back out of it later, but it was a start.

You're cleaning up your own popcorn, though.

[spin_kick_snap]

Kathy was mostly hoping that Halloween being on a Thursday this year might cut down on a few of the likely invites he'd get - which didn't mean he wouldn't just bow out anyway, of course.

Fair. Hey do you like flavored popcorn? I'm thinking about experimenting with different seasoning.

For fun. Like a nerd.

[smilestopscars]

At least this particular nerdery had a chance of benefitting Ezra, so he would allow it.

As long a they're flavors that make sense on popcorn.

[spin_kick_snap]

What types of flavors don't make sense?

She had a mix of sweet, savory, and even a few spicy flavors she wanted to try out.

Please don't turn into as big a food-baby as Dante, Ez. I'm counting on you to help me explain how wrong he is.

[smilestopscars]

I could NEVER, my hotteok. Perish the thought; my palate is open.

There were so many good dirty jokes going to waste about liking a wide variety of tastes.

[spin_kick_snap]

I have so many jokes I can't make right now IT IS A CRIME.

Look, she was going to be open about that, okay. It's not like he didn't already know.

[smilestopscars]

Ezra couldn't make the jokes, but he could still snort at that message.

Save them for a rainy day. Good jokes never go stale.

[spin_kick_snap]

Bold of you to assume they're good.

She knew her sense of humor. It usually veered from the esoteric to the bizarre, and was heavily based on puns.

Fortunately, the guys all seemed to appreciate puns, at least.

[smilestopscars]

I appreciate all your jokes, dumpling.

To some degree.

[spin_kick_snap]

You always did have a taste for quality, Kathy sent. <3
