[tiny_schemer]

[A whole night with an eight-year-old boy. Be still his beating heart.

On the other hand, Luca is cute and trusting and probably needs as much help as he can in the world - and Czes is curious about this household of theirs.]

--Okay! That sounds like fun. When can we do it?

voice; somewhere around one a.m.; no one in their house sleeps etc etc

[wishgrant]

[ when luca calls, he sounds somewhat out of it, apparently either in the process of falling asleep, or having just woken up. nonetheless, his voice is insistent, though lowered to a sleepy whisper. ]

Ben. Are you awake?

[tiny_schemer]

...I haven't been sleeping much lately. What's up?

Have you ever heard of Peter Pan?

voice;

[tiny_schemer]

"To always be a little boy and to have fun," right?

[Peter Pan has been a thing at least a hundred years, and still the story persists. Czeslaw isn't very amused by it at all.]

[voicemail/private] sometime in the evening.

This may sound odd, and I know we don't exactly know each other but-- My name is Elliot and there's a matter I need to.. discuss with you. I have an apology I'd like to make. If you wouldn't mind, please get back to me as soon as you can.

call;

[tiny_schemer]

[Well there's someone he never expected to hear from. Czes pauses, then dials back on the NV. Ring ring!]

Ben! D'you wanna come over for Thanksgiving?

[tiny_schemer]

--Oh, hi Luca! I already invited a friend over to my place for Thanksgiving, but maybe we can visit there too, if that's okay. I hadn't really made plans, honestly, I'm used to Thanksgiving a little later in the year...

[wishgrant]

You can bring them too, if you want! Ciel said I can invite whoever I want!

[tiny_schemer]

Okay. I'll ask her if she wants to come. [smiling a little] Thank you for inviting me.

Ben! Ben, Ben, Ben, Ben, Ben! [ PICK UP THAT NV CZES.

BEFORE LUCA EXPLODES WITH THE FORCE OF HIS EXCITEMENT.

someone is still feeling the sugar rush from all the cake at alois's birthday, clearly]

[tiny_schemer]

Hi Luca. [Wow. Aren't you energetic today.] What's up?

[wishgrant]

Ben! Brother's gettin' married!

[tiny_schemer]

[incredulous] Married? Too who? Isn't he a bit young?
