[Sitting with Lisa in his lap. Still a little put off by the amount of people. So he's mostly been in silent dad mode.]

I suppose so.

[Heather you may have to prompt him.]

[harryusedworry]

[Just smiles.]

Oh course not. Just because you came running in claiming the pillow was trying to eat your head. I'd never dream of joking about that.

[Actually he would. It's the nightmares about fire and burning and memories that he wouldn't joke about, much less bring up. Convinced that your bed is actually the monster you saw on tv though? That is fully up for grabs.]

[... REACHING OVER AND MIMING PUTTING A HAND OVER HIS MOUTH, complete with an expression of mock horror and a loud stage-hiss.]

Da-aaaad! You said you'd never tell anybody about that!

[... Of course, she knows he wouldn't joke about those nightmares... or the ones where she dreamed of something inside her, moving around and making terrible little noises. To be fair... she can't bring herself to joke about those, either. And she's Heather. The girl who can joke about virtually anything.]

[Just smiling.]

It must have slipped out.

[foolishwren]

I can't take you anywhere!

[harryusedworry]

I don't know. I think you're friends would love to hear stories about when you were little.

[foolishwren]

They already know I was the coolest kindergartener around-- that's all they need to know!

[harryusedworry]

I don't know....

[foolishwren]

They don't wanna hear about all that stuff!

... Right, guys?

[bakaitoukid]

[sitting! and waiting!]

Let's hear it.

[harryusedworry]

Alright....

[ and here it is]

[bakaitoukid]

[... whoa, okay, this one actually kind of gets to him, if only because it's not about ghosts, it's about an actual murder]

Not bad...

[harryusedworry]

[Back into awkward dad mode.]

Thanks.

[bakaitoukid]

Where'd you hear that one?

[harryusedworry]

Officially? In a small town from the girl.

But it's actually an urban legend I rewrote for one of my books.

[bakaitoukid]

I sure hope it isn't based on a real story. [derp]
