WANTED: 1 courageous soul willing to run weekly shopping errands for this week and the next. Buyer will be compensated for purchased goods and for time spent. Must be able to follow a list. Must have more patience than I do for the modern American custom of swarming the shops en fucking masse during the week before Christmas. Thank you.

never done that but that doesn't sound too complex?
how many dogs and what kind? also do they get agitated if they can smell cats?

2 medium sized ones, and I don't know. They haven't been around cats much.

they're friendly at least?

Very much so. Yes. I've got a kid who walks them sometimes, when I'm not up to it, but he's young. Can't always call a ten year old over at all hours.

I don't mind at all
plus it might help to get out and explore a little more that way too

That it does. Good exercise too, walking.

I get plenty of that in greendale
I don't drive and honestly it's a small town you could walk wherever you needed to

Why don't you drive? Are you young?

I just turned sixteen back home but I also don't need a car
I walk to school, to the movies, the library, etc.

[ It makes it very convenient for plot purposes. ]

Very young, then. Is being here your first time away from home alone?

[She'd said she'd never left her hometown, but he's not taking that completely literally.]

yeah it is

[Awww. Poor kid.]

I'm sorry.

no it's fine
I mean not that a universal kidnapping IS fine but I'm doing alright so far
everyone's been helpful and supportive

Fucking awful, though, that kids get brought here without their families.

I'm sixteen, not a child

[ Not a baby at least!! ]

I do miss my family but I have someone from home sort of

You're young enough. A child compared to me.

[He's glad she's not on her own, though.]

how old are you?

okay so you could be my dad
but I'm still not a child

Anyone under 25 is a child.

[He's absolutely teasing now.]

aren't you from the past? at sixteen I was probably married in your time or close to
not that I want to be

[ Mysterious texting man, she likes you already. ]

[Well, she's not wrong.]

Sixteen is a bit young for it. Eighteen, maybe.

gosh I can't imagine that
but anyway I promise you that in spite of my young age I am a responsible teenager

I've got a niece who's only a bit younger than you, I don't like to think about it any more than you do.

And I will still be considering you for shopping and walking dogs.

[ Ah. ]

sounds good!
