Dante: whats this about

[ is he going to get a reply before the 1 hour mark ]

Cosmo: ducks

Dante: ???

[ okay but FINE he's coming along at the hour mark, bundled in a big pink sweater ]

[He's seated on a bench by the big pond with two thermoses and a bag. He's bundled up in many layers but it's bit look so he still looks sharp.]

Ah, you came.

I was kinda tempted to ignore you.

That was probably a wise impulse.

[He offers a thermos.]

Coffee?

[ ... takes it ... ]

Okay, so what's this actually about?

Sit.

[ he sits on the opposite side of the bench from him ]

Is this family therapy time again?

[He hands him the bag. It's full of stale bread.]

Do you want it to be? I was just going to feed the ducks.

[ ..... stares

at the bread and then him? ]

Really? That's it?

Did you want more?

Nah, guess I'm just ... Surprised.

And why is that? Because I am otherwise nosy?

Yeah, basically.

Would you like me to pry into you innermost heart? It does seem as if you could use someone to ignore your facade and boundaries.

How 'bout we stick with feeding the ducks?

Hm... Perhaps. At least give them the bread.

[ he takes a few chunks, tossing them vaguely bird-words. ]

Is this meant t'be fun?

I think it is meant to be... Relaxing. Connecting with nature and all that. Something peaceful.

Uh-huh. I mean, it's a step above watchin' paint dry, sure.

I think they're charming.

[He smiles and gestures.]

The stupid noises they make, the silly way they wiggle their tails as they dive, the general... absurdity of a duck. What isn't to enjoy?

But I suppose you are more a man of action.

You got that right!

[ he cannot be given a single moment to be introspective!! ]

Well then.

[He stands, picking up his thermos.]

Walk with an old man.

I dunno if you can call yourself old with that face.

[ he'll move to stand too I guess ]
