[ota] doesn't matter how you throw me

It's hard being a young person.

At this point, Evan isn't exactly a young person. Not an old person, but finally safely removed from the this way and that way of being a teenaged and recently-teenaged young person. Lots of things are settling into place. Since getting back to Montréal, even, he's even getting his head properly around what his life might look like when he moves back home.

But the Deck is (par for the course these days) not doing well. There's no telling what travel back and forth is going to be like, not really. There's no telling what his mother will say has popped up in the backyard. There's no telling how Elani's going to sound on the phone when he calls.

There's no telling when a giant bouquet of orange lilies and jonquil and white clover is going to show up in the middle of your Intermediate Managerial Accounting and remind you that it's almost Valentine's Day on top of the fact your home is falling to pieces while you're not there and you can't tell anyone about it.

So Evan McCartney? Is playing phone roulette. Not looking at names and numbers so much as hitting at random to make sure that the general population hasn't completely vanished into thin air.

"....multiples of two? We got a lot of early risers here. The slugabeds can't catch a break." He should know. He's one of them except when he locks the door.

"Sick of you? How's that supposed to happen? You're, like, one of the healthiest people ever for other people." He chuckles, low in his throat. "Don't worry. Couch's always free f'you."

It might be a sigh or it might be a laugh. Hard to tell. "You're welcome. Just- don't get eaten by a bear or anything before you come back, okay?"

Can you tell what that sound is, Evan. It is the sound of his cheek being rubbed in a fruitless attempt to remove cooties. "Moose. Right. Long as you come back with no bite marks."
sirforawhile: (...let me just finish my coffee.)

"That depends on where you hide those. No visible bite marks, then, so's we don't have to worry." And also so conclusions wouldn't be dramatically leapt to.

"At ease, private. See you soon." Does he hear the grin? He's not so good at projecting it down the phone as McCartneys are.
