[She'll let Ahiru win the first part, because she's pretty sure she won overall.]

it's okay if you need another minute or so

[quackery]

no it's fine!! i just um didn't expect that

but i'm glad for you

[controlledvariable]

yeah neither did i it just sort of happened i'm still not 100% sure how

thanks

(please don't threaten him on my behalf i think he's getting a bit sick of it)

[quackery]

steph

it's me

do you really think i could be threatening if i tried

[controlledvariable]

well no because you're adorable

but you could do the whole "i'll be really disappointed in you if you hurt her!!!" thing

which is so much worse than threatening to break his legs because i don't think anyone could handle you being disappointed in them :(

[quackery]

that is not true and you know it

[controlledvariable]

it is true

it's like when your parents say "i'm not, i'm just disappointed" and you feel awful

[Spoilers: she does not actually know what this is like but it happens on TV a lot???]

[quackery]

i wouldn't really know haha but i guess i can imagine

[her parents are duuucks]

[controlledvariable]

yeah i guess i don't either but that's seem to be how it works in the movies and stuff

[quackery]

[It's almost refreshing, when she's almost come to expect being fussed over when she mentions it.]

hahaha i don't think the movies are ever a good model for real life

[controlledvariable]

[Shit happens; if Ahiru wants to talk about it, she will.]

that's where i got all my life advice from and i turned out okay

[wait

shit.]

[quackery]

well

i guess it depends which movies

[controlledvariable]

i watched a lot of old black and white films with my mom when i was little. gregory peck and audrey hepburn. that kinda thing

it's probably why i spent a small fortune at tiffanys when i had the chance

[she's not kidding they spent about ten grand......]

[quackery]

ohhh i don't think i've seen those are they good?

whenever it was my turn to pick for movie night i'd just go for disney

[controlledvariable]

they're amazing

disney is awesome too but if you ever wanna watch some classics i have a few on my laptop

["a few"]

[quackery]

what's your favorite

[controlledvariable]

oh no that's a hard one!

but

roman holiday

i think

[quackery]

what's it about? tell me tell me

[controlledvariable]

a princess is going on a tour of europe and she gets really frustrated by how strict everyone is, so she sneaks off and pretends to be a normal person and meets a journalist. he figures out who she is but doesn't tell, because he wants to get an exclusive interview with her.

but then he shows her around rome and they fall in love so he decides not to write an article about her.

they don't get married or anything, she goes back to being a princess. but i don't know, it's nice but it's still kind of realistic. sometimes you don't get a happy ending with someone but that doesn't mean it wasn't worth it.

[quackery]

ohhh i like that. that's sad but yeah it's like you said

did they go on to get married to other people later on

[controlledvariable]

[Steph you spoiled the ending]

you don't find out! i guess we can decide what their lives ended up being like

[quackery]

what do you think it was like

[controlledvariable]

[The question sort of surprises her, and Saul laughs at the face she makes.]

i think the princess probably married a prince who wouldn't mind when she snuck off to have adventures on her own

i never really thought much about the journalist. maybe he settled down with someone

[quackery]

i hope he was a nice prince at least

anyways that sounds like a nice movie :) i can see why you like it

[controlledvariable]

so do i

i have it too if you wanna watch it, even though i spoiled to ending
