[Ben takes a deep breath, trying to figure out the answers to those questions, because they're not easy.]

As you go works, I guess? I'm not sure I'm gonna be good with waiting.

[A pause as he considers.]

And yeah. Loop Mom in too.

Okay. World's most awkward group chat ever incoming.

( He starts it between the two of them, labels it Who Is Adam Milligan? Relabels it 23andU2. He chuckles to himself. )

You know I'm going to start tomorrow. Like if there's anything out there. I've been itching to get my hands on a project.

[acdc_rules]

I know. And I appreciate it.

[He just needs to get it out of his hands, because he was not an investigator and he's only going to be able to get so far.]

I wouldn't trust it to anyone else.

[camber]

That and you're a knucklehead.

( But so's he and knuckleheads gotta stick together, don't they? And they probably trust each other the most, and then their parents. )

We should get back down there. Minimize emotional blowback.

( Also booze is down there. )

[He takes a deep breath and lets his head drop into a nod. He shouldn't commandeer all of this holiday, for better or worse.]

Yeah, yeah. Let's go.

[He can't promise he'll be doing much drinking - it's what got him in this mess in the first place - but he will liberally help himself to some pie.]
