[Long, long pause.]

Did he try to drive sideways?

He sure did...

Do you ever look at the people allowed to drive and wonder just who in the world is giving these people their licenses?

Yes. Yes, I do.

[DEEP SIGH.]

[Patpat.]

Trey and I have a little bet about how long until his license gets revoked. It's just for treats, but do you want it?

Ah, that sounds like fun. Sure!

[Riddle smiles and grabs his phone to text Trey.]

He's betting on a year from now, I'm betting on a year and a half. You?

I think I'll go with two years.

[If not longer, but hey, who knows!]

[And texted!]

There. And hopefully in two years...we'll be done in the courts.

Mm, hopefully...

...enough about that. How are you handling school so far?

It's been fun so far! I'm enjoying my classes quite a bit.

[Riddle nods, and then sighs.]

Sorry, I'm. Well, bad at this.

[He gestures as if to say "being a normal teenager"]

If you want to go, I understand.

[Allen shakes his head.]

I want to stay. [A beat.] And let's be honest with ourselves, it'd probably still be a little awkward even if you weren't bad at this. The whole "suddenly family" thing is weird.

...you're not wrong.

[A small smile.]

At least you're nice about it.

Suddenly having more family is weird to me, too, even if I knew you existed. Still, I can't imagine not being nice about it, to tell you the truth.

I can. If you'd come up to me yesterday, I'd've been awful and I know it.

... Fair enough. And I might've, too, had it not been for Marzell.

...the very frazzled rabbit? He's helpful?

Quite, when he's not on-edge for some reason.

[It's just that Marzell is usually quite on-edge at almost all times.]

He can be not on-edge? We were roommates last year, and I don't think a day went by he wasn't vibrating out of his skin.

I think it was mostly because it was just him, me, and the hedgehogs at the time...

He screamed when Trey told him "hi".

I guess I more or less come across as harmless?

So does Aubury from Diasomnia, and he's terrified of them.

[Granted, this may be because Aubury is a remarkably powerful sorcerer whose Unique Magic allows them to punish people with rosethorn tattoos that hurt every time they do something Aubury doesn't like but aside from that he's the sweetest, most gentle student ever.]
