[nodding! they are both very likable this is true. but huh?]

Really? That's surprising...but as long as you approach it without being demanding, you should have some luck.

[aubins]

[ purple bastards! ]

[ looks at the later thread with pride ]

We'll see. They do like to go on about "not liking small talk". Maybe I'll just con them into watch a movie.

[probe]

Small talk is pretty hard for them, but being in the same vicinity isn't a bad start. I don't think they've seen too many movies anyway.

[aubins]

Oh, noted.

So I just need to leave a trail of breadcrumbs to get them down to watch something.

[probe]

It's worth a shot! Pick something nice and relaxing.

[aubins]

[ so die hard is out then. ]

Any suggestions?

[probe]

Maybe something whimsical with a happy ending?

[aubins]

... I probably need names, Little-A. I'd probably pick something where the dog dies, or something equally horrible, by accident.

[probe]

Ooh...yeah, okay that's true. Maybe something cute like...there's this one called My Neighbor Totoro? Or maybe a more serious one like Princess Mononoke.

[aubins]

[ he's mentally committing them to memory. ]

... Alright then. I'll give it a try.

[probe]

Good. [hehe] Let me know how that goes?

[aubins]

You have a lot of faith in me.

[probe]

Am I not supposed to?

[aubins]

You've never seen me and Pride talk, have you?

[probe]

Nope. It's not like I eavesdrop on your conversations. Why?

[aubins]

Oh you should, they get really grumpy and mad at me.

[probe]

That's normal. If this still doesn't work? Might be time to rethink your strategy again.

[aubins]

A headlock would probably get me stabbed, huh?

[probe]

You would absolutely die, yeah. So maybe avoid physical contact?

[aubins]

Yes, that is what we're trying to avoid here.

[probe]

All I can say is good luck. And be careful.

[aubins]

Waaaaay to make it ominous, Little-A.

[probe]

I'm just saying! You're the one pursuing it so I do want you to be careful just in case!

[aubins]

Maybe I'll go ram my head into a brick wall for fun next.

[probe]

Stop, don't be like that. [but she sighs.] ...is it really gonna be so bad if Pride doesn't budge?
