I'm going to have to find someone to help me put it on again.

[questionablewit]

Don't look at me. I'm halfway across town on an errand.

There's probably someone at the ABC. Usually is.

[deblayer]

Can you talk me through it?

[questionablewit]

You think I know how to knit? You have met me, right?

[deblayer]

There is a certain inherent violence and delicacy to knitting which remind me of you.

[questionablewit]

Enjorlas, how sweet! I'm actually flattered.

Unfortunately I'm still clueless. Pick up wool, stick on needle is the best I can do. Especially from a distance.

[deblayer]

Remind me how having a hobby is supposed to reduce my stress and make me better at my job?

[questionablewit]

You're the one who picked knitting. Personally I'd have tried something easier, like juggling chainsaws or climbing Mount Everest.

[deblayer]

None of these things sound better.

[questionablewit]

That was the point.

Why did you pick knitting, though? Some subconscious Madame Defarge thing?

[deblayer]

You put too much credit in my ability to read tone not in person, most of the time.

Because repetitive motion is supposed to be soothing.

[questionablewit]

It's safe to assume that I'm usually being sarcastic.

Out of respect for you and your efforts I am restraining from multiple inappropriate rebuttals. It's very difficult, so appreciate it.

[deblayer]

Sometimes I pretend you're a serious person as an ongoing friendship effort.

I can't imagine what but I suppose I appreciate it?

Joly says it's also important to do something with your hands when you're trying to clear your mind.

you are doing this on purpose

[questionablewit]

You have an impressive imagination, in that case.

...he's trying not to laugh, isn't he.

I have never done a thing in my life

[deblayer]

I can't see if someone texting me is laughing, Hawke.

I disbelieve.

[questionablewit]

Ah. Thought he was there.

Yes, well. Perhaps you should try some other activity to rest your mind and keep your hands occupied.

[deblayer]

He's going to be a doctor, you know. He can't start lying about best practices now.

You will have a scarf and two hats for your next birthday.

she is laughing so hard. It's a good thing this is happening by text.

[questionablewit]

He isn't. He's just referencing other occupations that can keep your hands busy. Healthy ones. Very healthy.

Well, no one can ever accuse you of being a quitter. But why two hats? I only have one head.

so rude??

[deblayer]

Assuming facts not in evidence.

So you'll have the freedom to choose between them when you want to.

For his birthday she's going to buy him an instructional manual about how to hear innuendoes.

[questionablewit]

Some things can be safely taken in faith.

Dear lord, no wonder you get along so well with Anders. But what if my birthday is next week? Better learn fast.

...please

[deblayer]

Is it next week?

It's on. She would.

[questionablewit]

Fortunately for you, it's not until autumn. Plenty of time to drop more stitches.

self-published, I assume

[deblayer]

Two hats, then.

No, though it's tempting. But canonically her best friend is a writer and worse troll than she is.

[questionablewit]

I'll wear them with pride and I'm sure they'll look just lovely as I'm kicking people in the teeth.

You'll have all the ABC crowd commissioning hats at this rate, to say nothing of Anders wanting them for his patients.

perfection

[deblayer]

That sounds less like a hobby and more like a job.
