Yeah. [ He sighs. ] That's about what I figured.

He let you go off on your own at all? I mean, I could leave 'em somewhere, but I'd be worried about them gettin' lost or damaged or something.

[nohalfway]

Sorry.

[ God, this is getting really fucking awkward and almost taxing. ]

It's not so much him giving me permission as it is just--

[ A sigh. ]

I still don't like leaving the house alone. Don't like worrying the guy either. But I'm sure it wouldn't be an issue if you wanted to just come over.

I had a friend over a few days ago, actually. It didn't go badly or anything.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ Peter laughs a little, trying to keep his tone light. ]

I think it'd be pretty different if I came over, actually. Seeing as how I'm a dusty fossil compared to you. Maybe I can have your friend give you the comics back.

[nohalfway]

Actually, you're a newborn baby compared to who I live with.

[ She snorts. ]

Um. Let me talk to the guy. Honestly, I'd totally be on board with you just coming over anyway to hang out, so just hang on to them for a bit.

[nostalgiabomb]

Hey, 's long as your buddy doesn't kick my ass the second I step across the threshold, I'm game.

[ Ellie makes a sound when she isn't sure whether or not that is a drastic claim for Joel. It's a very possible thing with anyone, really. ]

I've got all the Star Trek DVDs. We can marathon them sometime.

[nostalgiabomb]

Tempting. Very tempting. I haven't seen Star Trek in forever.

[nohalfway]

Oh good, 'cause I've never seen it before. And last thing I need is your loud ass spoiling me.

I hope you've forgotten everything that happens.

[nostalgiabomb]

Your hope is misplaced, kid.

Can't wait till you see "The Trouble with Tribbles."

[nohalfway]

Maybe I'll like it. Maybe I'll think it's the most awesome episode ever and you're just a party pooper.

[nostalgiabomb]

It is the most awesome episode ever. [ He says it straight. Tribbles are 100% the best. ]

[nohalfway]

[ Ellie is silent a moment, her tone softening. ]

I mean...

I don't see why you shouldn't just come over to marathon with me.

[ With Joel present, more than likely. ]
