Jessica was beyond excited. In the days leading up to the RV trip, she barely shut up about it. Even as she boarded the RV Laura had procured for their adventure and took the shotgun seat, she could barely stop talking. It was a beautiful day in the City, and the weather reports for their destination in Southern New Jersey called for blue skies and sunshine. It would be perfect beach-going weather, and it was bound to be the perfect summer night!

We had some kind of discussion, I'll tell you that much.

He always so stubborn?

[secondhandwebs]

[Snickers a little]

Oh, you have no idea. But, according to him, I'm just as bad.

[hellisforchildren]

Well, he seems to have a problem with false equivalency, so there you go.

[secondhandwebs]

This might be the hang over talking...but I think I might've needed to be there to follow what you're talking about.

[hellisforchildren]

Hell, could be.

[secondhandwebs]

[Snorts softly]

Fine, I'll just only get his side of the story later.

[hellisforchildren]

So, are you two siblings or something? Couldn't help noting the resemblance.

[secondhandwebs]

[How is it that everyone but her picks up on that right away?]

Cousins. Whether he likes it or not.

[hellisforchildren]

[ because maybe she doesn't have a mirror on-hand at all times or something ]

Huh. So, what's it like having family with you here?

[secondhandwebs]

Easier, I guess.

[She gives an almost apologetic little smile with that.]

To be honest, I've never had to be here without. So I can't really compare.

[hellisforchildren]

[ he stares off into the distance ]

It could be a little overrated, having certain family here. You're only lucky for it if you were already lucky.

[secondhandwebs]

[Despite the headache, May can pick up on the serious moment thing.]

No one you'd want to see?

[hellisforchildren]

You'd be surprised.

[secondhandwebs]

Mm, well. That sounds about right for you.

[hellisforchildren]

The emotional isolation, or the tight-lippedness?

[secondhandwebs]

I was thinking more that you can be surprising.

[hellisforchildren]

Hmm.

[ he raises an eyebrow and just chews on that for a minute ]

Never can tell. If I'm given the right reasons to be.

[secondhandwebs]

I don't know. With some people 'surprising' is just a personality trait. They can't help it.

[hellisforchildren]

I can't help wondering how much of that is in the person themselves, and how much is the expectations others have for them.

[secondhandwebs]

Mm, maybe you're right. But if they're constantly surprising people, maybe they're just giving out confusing signals.

[hellisforchildren]

Figure it could be the delicate interplay of both.

[secondhandwebs]

Hard to argue against that. It's never just a simple answer for things, is it.

[hellisforchildren]

Most of them aren't, no. You start looking closely and all you'll see is the careful detailing.

[secondhandwebs]

But some of them are?

[hellisforchildren]

Every now and then. But it's rare.
