^^Incoming call from Gideon^^

"Hey."

"Hey. Are you okay?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"


"I don't know. You were just being so serious... I didn't know what to think."

"Oh, well I can be serious you know."


"See, here I thought you were just all fun and games."

"You know what they say..."


"No... what do they say?"

"It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt...Haha"


"Normally I would say that was lame, but I feel like something's bothering you."

"Behind every bad dad joke is a dad who just wants to cheer you up."


"I saw that on Reddit."

"Darn, I thought I was original."


"You are very original, but I guess that's why I can tolerate you."

"Was that another compliment?"


"Depends on how you take it, I guess."

"I'll take it as a compliment then..."


"..."

"People are so amazed by the fact that every snowflake is different, but nobody cares that every potato is uni-"


"You're avoiding my question."

"Maybe I just really want to talk about potatoes right now."

"..."

"Ugh..I know."


"Do you want to talk about it?"

"I don't think you want to hear about crap in my life."


"Faith... you should know by now that if I didn't want to know, I wouldn't ask."

"Well.. uh..."


"..."

"My Dad has cancer."


"..."

"Well... they found a few tumors in his lung... Ha. That doesn't even sound so bad when I say it out loud. It's not like he has stage-"


"Don't. Please don't down-play how you're feeling."

"..."

"Where are your parents?"

"Upstate New York."


"Is that where you are?"

"No..."


"Have you gone to see them yet?"

"No, I haven't."


"Are you?"

"Yeah. But I've been putting it off. I don't know why. I guess I'd just be going alone. Well I'd have Link."


"..."

"Would it be weird... if I went with you?"

"Wh-"


"It's okay if you don't want to meet... for other reasons... I just thought I could help you through the process."

"I couldn't ask you to do that, Gideon. You don't owe me anything."


"I know, but I want to."

"Why?"


"I don't think this is the time to have this conversation."

"..."

"What conversation?"


"The reason why I would want to meet you."

"Is it because I'm so awesome and you just can't stand the thought of being away from me another single second?"


"Something like that."
