[ nimona vc: no dying off schedule ]

Huh...? Oh.

[ he has a half-distracted look for a moment, but then he blinks and it's gone, stiff shoulders relaxing and a sheepish grin back on his face ]

... Sorry.

[sharkgirl]

[literally though]

It's - fine, are you like, good? [she will gently pull her hands away once she thinks he's not going to fall.]

[hanaban]

Yeah?

[ He's... good. Yeah. ]

I was just thinking, and not paying attention, I guess. [ but he's fine now, peering over the edge of the building, even, to check out how far he would've fallen if Nimona weren't here ]

[sharkgirl]

Don't fall off. Also don't make me mom you, it makes me want to throw up on your shoes.

[holds onto the back of his shirt, actually, she doesn't trust this child (?).]

[hanaban]

Well, then don't do it!

[ he'll flop over onto his back instead, arms eagle spread so there's no chance of him falling unless the building suddenly collapses in some freak accident ]

Even mom couldn't stop me, anyways.

[sharkgirl]

From what, falling to your doom? [peers down at him, leaning backwards a bit.]

[hanaban]

[ ... ]

I guess you could say that, yeah!

[sharkgirl]

Uh huh.

Anyway, if you ever ask me a question about myself again I'm gonna answer with huh? What? Did you say something?

[hanaban]

Aw, come on. I answered!!

[ y'know... technically... technically... his parents did nothing to stop him from doing what he did... ]

[sharkgirl]

Huh? What?

[casually is a brat]

[hanaban]

I said I answered!!

[ shakes her shoulders, listen to meeeeeee ]

[sharkgirl]

Did you though?

[she's laughing when he shakes her]

[hanaban]

I did! I'm doing it right now! Look at me answering all your questions!

[sharkgirl]

[she pinches his nose.]

What did you mean by echo? Answer that one.

[hanaban]

What did I say about echo...?

[ help, don't expect him to remember anything I have to parent up half a dozen times for ]

[sharkgirl]

[that's fair i only remember because i had to check if she was still a bird]

You said you're dead. So like a ghost? Have you been a ghost for a long time?

[hanaban]

[ It's nice that she goes for ghost before zombie, but he's figured by now people have read that bit on his profile. And even then, people don't ask.


... ]

That's right! I died... fifty-some years ago?

[sharkgirl]

[her eyebrows raise!]

Huh. So you're old. [teehee]

[hanaban]

Yeah, so listen to your elders, ya punk!

[sharkgirl]

[she MAKES A FACE AT HIM]

Uh, wow? I'm older than you! Listen to your elders.

[hanaban]

No way you're older than me.

[ "how long have YOU been dead, then?" he wants to ask but no, Nimona isn't allowed to be dead ]

[sharkgirl]

Like somewhere in the... [she squints, thinking about it.] I don't know. Thousand something. So like nine hundred fifty years older than you, yeah.

[well, she's not dead! technically. theoretically.]

[hanaban]

[ TECHNICALLY? THEORETICALLY?? ]

...No way.

[sharkgirl]

[yea! theoretically she is not dead at her canon point!]

Yeah way. [taps his hat.] Might be a bit less. I stopped keeping track because it didn't matter.

[hanaban]

[ hmng. ]

...I guess I just can't imagine existing for that long. How do you do it...?

[ When he couldn't even make it past 13 before he gave up ]
