[Now that he's has a second to smugly enjoy that.]

Fine, but don't try moving any furniture over. If you need something we can get it from a much closer storehouse.

[fussiest]

[ in the beat, the smoldering silence of a man who absolutely knows he's lost this round, just that he has no idea what game they're playing and what the rules may be. ]

I'll need a drafting table at the minimum. The mornings can be chilly, so a rug is essential.
I also refuse to spend a month looking at bare walls. You'll have to live with the art I put up. Clearly it will also improve your quality of life, so you've nothing to complain about.

[justscribing]

As long as you save putting them up for normal waking hours.

Are we doing this tomorrow then?

[fussiest]

Tomorrow just before noon, because you and I both know you don't know what normal waking hours are.

[justscribing]

Neither do you, or should I remind you that 3 A.M. is the time most people are asleep?

Just before noon, then. I'll go to your apartment so we can set up the experiment before moving your things.

[fussiest]

Fine.
And if you've no appropriate ingredients for lunch, we'll get some on the way.
One can only survive on rice and beans for so long before they go a little mad, even if it's you.
There are restaurants with interesting side-dishes. They're not terrible. What's the point of you having an ice-box if you're just going to eat non-perishables all the time? Some changes are coming to your habits the coming month, and every time you think of complaining, think of this: you chose this.

[justscribing]

You know there's something in between a meal being impoverished and extravagant. I do know how to cook.

[He just likes to make Kaveh do it so he doesn't have to.]

You checked out the restaurants and all you got out of them was side dishes? You don't even have the excuse of mora anymore. Try wishing for a main course next time you walk into the kitchens there.

[fussiest]

Of course I've tried such a thing! I've had the food there as well.
The whole point is that I'm going to be cooking a main dish to go with the side-dishes because the main dishes I make are far better.

[justscribing]

As long as you aren't constructing buildings out of it. But do you really want to cook before or after a bunch of physical labor?

[fussiest]

Before. We'll need the energy. And if I construct a building out of the food, what of it? It makes me happy.
Ah, on your way here, can you drop by the hardware store? I need four 3x20 extra long rivets.

[justscribing]

You'll be wasting my time as well as yours making food sculptures for lunch.

[If he could raise an eyebrow in text.]

Why?

[fussiest]

As if we have anything but time here.
And I need them because they're meant to hold together the light fixture that I'm working on. The original 3x15's that I got are a little too thin.
Since you're on the way, you ought to be able to pop in and grab them. They're to the right of the store, 2nd aisle, in little blue packaging.

[justscribing]

[The moment of deliberation. Extra errands...]

Fine but you're getting them tomorrow.

[fussiest]

Fine!

[ operation mint plant, begin!! ]
