I guess not.
Even when you're yelling at me! I try to tease you about it, but teasing also only works if the other person is in on the relationship.
I do know that much, but

I am forgiving and forgive you, Alan!
But I do get frustrated and want to have us be as we've been.

So, sorry for the times I make things difficult...
Though, I don't know if you remember them.
Still, you can't be the only person to apologize!

I drink coffee!

Too handsome to hit.
What if I damage the merchandise???

[because]

Yeah. Not big on being teased by people that aren't my friends.
That I don't remember are my friends, I mean.

I'll try not to frustrate you this go. Hopefully it sticks.

I don't remember any of it. So we're cool.
Well, you're forgiven then.

How do you take it?

Ha ha. True.
And you might hurt those nice hands doing it.

[665]

Mmmm! Fair.

Fingers crossed.
But have you thought about how to make our first conversation easier?
If it doesn't?

I appreciate that!
In ways you don't understand.

Lots of sugar, creme.
Sometimes laced with a little something if the night's been long.

And then we wouldn't be able to hold hands if I did.
So can't do that.

[because]

Yeah, I've been thinking about that this whole time.
It's tricky, knowing myself. Can you put Ahti in the room? He's probably busy, right?

No problem.

Not a big fan of the bitterness then?
I used to do that a lot.

Oh? We're holding hands?
That's sweet.

[665]

I could try that!
He might be busy. But it never hurts to ask.

Nope!
I guess I'm okay with it in the morning.
But it's always night!

It's a nice feeling, too.

[because]

I don't think I could be confrontational with that guy in the room.
He's very soothing.
Does that make any sense?

It sure is.
Becoming a night owl over here.

Yeah. I used to like holding hands.
Alice said I had soft ones.
Can't remember the last time I actually touched someone.

[665]

It does.
I don't know anyone who doesn't like Ahti.

You and me both.
Another thing we have in common, man.

This is the perfect time to ask, then.
Wanna come over and hold hands?
We can talk more shop!

[because]

He just vouches for you, this'll be extremely easy.

Is there more in common than not? Spooky.

What?
You're serious?

[ That's ridiculous! That's so stupid.
A short delay: ]

Coming.

[665]

Right, right.
He'll tell you about me and my films.
You'll feel better about talking to me later.
This might work.
I mean, I can be as excited as I like, then.

And it's hard not to be with it being night all the time!

I look forward to your visit!

[because]

As excited as you want but don’t scream. A fan did that once, every word was a yell, and I tried to leave immediately.

You got me there.

Okay. See you in a bit, assuming I don’t forget where I’m going.

[665]

Ah, all right.
No yelling.

I'll give you a ring, if you do.
