oh absolutely! probs when he's sick but managing

[pocketspa]

who would be if given the choice
fuckin nerd
im not his keeper
did you catch him rooting through your trash for jeans scraps or smth

[puzzlingly]

never mind

「Why are you so frustrating, Taako?」

[pocketspa]

[He's the fucking worst, okay.]

wait wait i have a thousand of these
did you find him trying to transmute all his clothes so he ended up naked and now hes begging for jean scraps on the side of the road
no no hang on
he broke into your house and was pissed all your pants are leather
or was he just trying to find some stray science in how your hair stays up




okay but seriously whats up

[puzzlingly]

「There are even worse than you, Taako, you're just lame.」

hes staying with me in case he didnt tell you
thas all

[pocketspa]

[Excuse you, he is a delight.]

oh
cool
glad he hasnt kept cramming himself in a supply closet and crying
hell come back when hes ready

[puzzlingly]

are you always so unkind to your fiends?

[pocketspa]

{That... actually kind of takes him by surprise. He frowns at the phone a bit, taking a minute before responding.]

dude
who are you to tell me how to talk about him
hes literally like
my family
ive known the man for a hundred years
if i wanna call him the loser he is i can do that
i checked up on him

[If Barry had been anyone else, there wouldn't have been enough to scrape them off the floor for what happened to Lup. She is, and always will be, his first priority.]

[puzzlingly]

「How else is he supposed to know that?

Welp. He does, now.」

good to know

[pocketspa]

[He wasn't. Taako's just difficult for the sake of being difficult a lot of time, or horribly defensive and not someone who explains. Not really a great friend, but that's likely why he has so few of them.]

yeah
exactly



thanks for keeping an eye on him
hes useless on his own

[puzzlingly]

「No worries, maybe Atem will be his friend too... Who knows, he's not that bad handling absolute jerks.」 

give him some credit. thats all what he might need

[pocketspa]

[Best of luck, buddy. It helps you like his family.]

yeah yeah
ive seen him take worse than this
call me if he starts eating all your jeans i have a great home remedy

[puzzlingly]

「He will not lose hope on you!」

i bet you do
see you around taako

[pocketspa]
