"Everyday," Aspen reiterated. "Tomorrow, the day after, and after. Everyday. And if you get holes in your socks, you let me know. Who did you get a bed beside?" Were they going to be GOOD for West? Let him sleep? Hmm.
Those are GARY's
The Head Girl was telling an 11 year old boy his name wasn't "cool" enough?
...
..
That seemed... well, alright. "And what's her name? Cool is relative, you know." ..... "Start calling her Marshmallow." It wasn't exactly sound advice, but West was 11 - he could get away with such things.
Egbert dropped in and performed a rough landing on Aspen's shoulder. "This is his favorite place to fly. I bet he'll come visit you, if you'd like."
"EveryDAY, Aspen." EYEROLL. Gosh. GOSH. Give a kid a BREAK. "Yeah you can fix my socks if they get holes. I don't like it when my toes go through. I got a bed by Theo! Theo is cool." And other kids but THEO was the coolest.
I'm jealous. My apples here, are soft. Legit
"Selena. I called her Lena cos its short for Selena, you know? And she called me STRAWBERRY." West was NOT COOL with this. In general? Seventh years in his house were FAIL. So far at least. "I don't want to call her Marshmallow, I just don't want her to call me Strawberry." He took on a sliiiightly whining tone, that he really only reserved for Aspen since West wasn't by nature a whiner.
"Yeah?" He brightened a bit and reached out one finger to give Egbert a gentle gentle stroke. "He can come visit whenever he wants to."
