Okay guys, I need you all to settle a bit of an argument Zelda and I are having.

See, we were out shopping for furniture for our new place and she tells me I need a bed. I say "you're right, I do! I know just the type!" So I go and I show her the hammocks because back home, I slept in a hammock. So she says [Darin clears his throat and proceeds to do his best Zelda voice] "Don't be preposterous, a hammock is not a proper bed."

Which is wrong. Because a hammock is totally a bed. Lots of things can be beds. So, to prove my point, I made this chart.



As you can see by this chart that I spent entirely too much time on, the parameters that dictate an objects "bedability" are thus. I think it's a pretty open and shut case.

Anyway, I think this explains why I should be allowed to get a hammock in my room. You guys are on my side on this, right?

[Just...you know. Ignore how he casually dropped that they're living together because he's brain dead.]

I see.

[Notice she doesn't judge. It took her and Clive half that.]

And what changed things?

...He helped me. When I had nowhere else to go. And then went out of his way to help me again.

I didn't think I deserved second chances but he gave them to me anyway. Jill, he's not a patient man, and yet...

Yet he's patient for you and that's all that matters.

Perhaps Zelda is being patient for Darin and Darin only. Their moment of realization just hasn't come yet.

[A cough.]

His moment, I mean.

Hard to tell if he really doesn't know or if he's just very deep in denial, honestly.

I'd just like it if they let themselves be happy.

It may be a bit of denial, but I also think he hasn't truly considered himself as someone who one would care about. He has a history to work through and I think it's preventing him from seeing Zelda the way we see his feelings for Zelda.

Now I'm wondering if she's the same as him.

[You know, clueless.]
