... You don't have to buy me anything, idiot. And no.

[motioned]

I know, but I wanted to! And you'll really like it if you give it a try, I promise!

[rewritter]

Well, stop it. And I doubt I will, so just eat it yourself.

[motioned]

I'll eat part of it if you promise you'll try part of it too! You really will like it! How are you going to know if you don't even try it, anyways?

[brandishing the spoon at him, nbd]

[rewritter]

[ swatting at it ugh go away o9 ]

If it's melting like that, it's probably going bad. Food doesn't melt!

[motioned]

It does if it's frozen! Just - try a bite! This shouldn't be hard!

[rewritter]

Then make it easier and just eat it yourself. I'm not interested.

[motioned]

Just eat some of it! You can't be that busy!

...I'm worried about you. You've barely left the room.

[rewritter]

I'm busy trying to write a way out, so there's no reason for me to leave.

[ oh and speaking of, trying to grab some paper again. ]

[motioned]

But that doesn't mean you have to keep working on it all the time! I mean, you should spend some time outside, get some fresh air, something like that. You can't just coop yourself up in here for days.

[rewritter]

It's fine. It's just like being in the library. You didn't complain back then, though.

[motioned]

I'm not complaining, I'm just concerned!

[rewritter]

... There's no need to be. I'm fine.

[motioned]

Just promise you'll come out if you haven't made any progress by tomorrow, okay? We can go to the park or something. I can show you around the city a little more.

[rewritter]

I don't care about the city unless it's about how to leave it.

How about in two days.

[motioned]

I really don't think it's healthy to stay shut in like this! It only has to be for a little bit. Just an hour or so.

[rewritter]

... If I say yes, would you leave me alone so I can write?

[motioned]

Okay, but - you have to promise, if nothing comes after a week, you need to take a longer break from it. Like, a few days. Okay?

[rewritter]

[ a week sounds manageable. plenty of time to pull a few all-nighters. ]

Fine. I promise I'll do that.

[motioned]

[And then she holds her pinky out to him.

Very solemnly. This is serious.]

[rewritter]

[ ... just staring because what do I even do with this pinky. ]

[motioned]

[Pinky swears gosh!!]

[rewritter]

[ I don't know what that is!! ]

[motioned]

[FINE]

You bring your pinky up and hook it with mine! It's a really, really special promise.

[rewritter]

That... just sounds stupid.
