I don't really like doing that announcement thing, but since I'm her roommate... Snow White's gone home! Which is good, that means she's finally back with James, who's her total love at first sight wonderful husband and she has a daughter that maybe she'll get to see now so I'm happy for her. Right, and Al left too, but that was last month. Uh... a few others, but I don't really know the full list.

It makes me curious about something else, though. What do you guys do to show you remember and care about people who you'll probably never see again in this lifetime?

( She appreciates that he doesn't assume, though had he asked, she probably would have said yes. Its the quiet way he helps her without making a fuss that does more than anything else to make her feel okay right now -- like it's no big deal, all of this isn't, and they can look forward to just the fun sort of things you do with friends who matter to each other.

Which means once she's inside, she pats the center console fondly. )

Thanks, big guy.

( For all his holoform gives him an easy face to respond to, this is really him, and she's not about to forget that. She doesn't want to. )

What do you even make of half the roads around here? We've still got potholes the size of the moon on some streets! Have you ever ended up in one of those on accident?

No problem. Small. Uh. Girl. Haha... [ Sorry, he's bad at jokes. ]

[ There's a soft rev of his engine in response to the pat and he pulls away slowly from the curb. ]

Potholes? Pff. Puh-lease.

I've been driving for millions of years. To me, this is like walking. Natural. Not to mention my frame is built for it.

Potholes? More like. Notholes. HAH-ACK!

[ He definitely just found one. He ( very superfluously) clears his throat and keeps driving. ]

... Not a word.

( No chance of her speaking as she starts laughing, arms hugging her stomach as she falls back against the seat and leans against his door. Oh gosh, she's not coming up for air anytime soon!

It makes is a little more okay when her eyes burn hot and the tears aren't just from laugher. )

Notholes, huh? So that totally did not just happen?

[weapabilities]

Hhhhhngh I think I need to see a mechanic for my pride.

[ Have some dramatic whining. ]

You saw, felt and heard nothing. This is between you and I.

[ This is like when a cat makes a miscalculation on a jump and then walks away after like nothing at all happened. ]
