[ cool. two guys just chilling on the basement floor. this is nice. ]

[leonheartedly]

[it is nice. That should bother him, but]

[afineknight]

[ it's nice, companionable silence. ]

[leonheartedly]

[the way his mind isn't wandering to the usual spots is a small miracle.

After the silence stretches on a while, he finds himself laughing quietly]

[afineknight]

[ He glances over at him, raising an eyebrow. ]

[leonheartedly]

It just kind of hit me how . . . normal this kind of is.

[afineknight]

What, this? Right here?

[leonheartedly]

Yeah, this.

[afineknight]

. . . huh. You have a point.

[leonheartedly]

Don't think we can get a full normal day, but . . . this is kind of nice.

[afineknight]

And now that we've cleaned it, it even looks normal down here.

[leonheartedly]

All it's missing is some old stuff piled in the corner.

[afineknight]

Ha. Maybe so.

[leonheartedly]

Never hung out in a friend's basement, huh.

[afineknight]

Suffice it to say, no, I have not.

[leonheartedly]

Another new experience, then. Even though it's your basement, same difference.

[afineknight]

. . . huh! That again is true.

[leonheartedly]

[a soft huff, but it's amused]

If there's more to it, I don't remember.

[afineknight]

It isn't as though I would know, anyway.

[leonheartedly]

I'd be tempted to ask, but I'm kind of worried what teenagers do these days.

[afineknight]

Probably similar things that our generation did that worried the previous one.

[leonheartedly]

That goes without saying.

Maybe they just play video games.

[afineknight]

That wouldn't surprise me.

[leonheartedly]

Me either. Not as bad as whatever the hell our generation did.

[afineknight]

Drugs, mostly. That's probably still a thing.
