...do you want to promise?

You don't have to. That's not-

I'm not saying you have to. But now that I know it's not a promise, and you know I know it's not a promise, I don't want this to be a situation where now you're questioning things. Or... I guess I want you to have a choice about that.

I don't think it's a great idea to say 'no one's allowed to resent things'.

Maybe 'we try and both use best judgement to respect each other and if we do something that upsets the other one, we talk about it and try to figure out how to handle it better'?

[personal profile] greatoldjohn 2024-08-08 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
My pick or yours?

...or we could just put some DVDs out and let your cat pick.

And what kind of movies do you like?

We've watched enough of them now.
greatoldjohn: (a gentleman: I can help!)

[personal profile] greatoldjohn 2024-08-08 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oooo. ]

...have you seen Fantasia yet?

[personal profile] greatoldjohn 2024-08-08 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Can we do that one this time?

I'll grab it from the library.
greatoldjohn: (a gentleman: heh)

Perfect. Usual time good?

[ There is a knock on the door at the usual time. When he opens the door, it's John in his usual, with a dvd under his arm as well as something that was knit and then felted with what appears to be a very simple rainbow pattern. He made Aylin a cat donut bed]

"It's for Aylin," he says as he steps in, pulling out the DVD and shaking out the little donut tunnel thing. The rainbow is a series of stripes across the whole of the circle, very very plain. He hadn't wanted to meddle with anyone's brain with a self-made pattern, after all. Best to err on the side of caution.

"She can hide in it or sit in the middle. I saw it in a knitting book and decided to try making her one."
