It's a camp thing where counselors get a few campers and they have to talk about stuff. Like, feelings or hopes and aspirations. Maybe football scores. So that must mean you're Red Arrow and I'm one of your designated counselors.

... yes. I'm Red Arrow.

How much do we have to talk about feelings and hopes and football scores?

Just confirming. I could have had you and the Scarlet Pimpernel on these cards.

As for the talking thing, no real clue. Apparently as long as it takes for you to actually talk about something that's on your mind.

That's considerate of you.

You can treat it as camp's big joke or you can treat it as a random thing where a girl comes up to you and wants to make small talk. Which one's easier on your dignity, dude?

Neither. Small talk isn't my thing.

[sighs, because of course she'd have to get one of those teenagers]

Okay then, William Not-Tell. But it's easier to mention something voluntarily before camp sees fit to give me note cards on some embarrassing topic and make the choice for us.

Hoyt, Matthews or some other brand with lots of Xs in it?
