I believe the narrative for the Turkey Hunger Games is that they are all trying to avoid slaughter to earn the treasured Presidential Pardon. She also wondered if you hunted your own turkeys as a holiday tradition.

I do not question what goes on in her mind.

I also would be interested in dinner, but lack the schedule to guarantee it. Drinks are more likely, but I'll do my best to free myself from the grips of Pearson Specter Litt at a reasonable hour for dining.

I do not. My family did not. I'm sure there are families that do. And, right. Literal Turkey Hunger Games. Is that one a trilogy, too?

I'm not opposed to a late dinner, either. Why live in NYC if you don't take advantage of the city that never sleeps?

[blyth]

I'm afraid to ask, but knowing here there likely is a turkey uprising waiting in the wings.

Fair enough. I just want to ensure we'll be able to take our time.

I like a man that takes his time.

[blyth]

Good.

Another American question for you: how awful is Black Friday? Are there truly fist fights in department swords? Maud is considering observing in the wild, which naturally means I may be forced to attend as well.

I don't do Black Friday, never have. Suburban America does it worse. I haven't heard of any New York mobs. Does she have a destination in mind or is this a store crawl?

[blyth]

Probably a shopping center of some kind. I think she wants to observe more than anything else.

[And spend quality time with her brother so they don't have to realize that this is the first Christmas with just the two of them just yet.]

[drugdeals]

Plenty of those to find.

[blyth]

We'll manage.

[It's more about the quality sibling time than anything else. Eventually they'll make more friends and have less of a need to be fully omnipresent in each others lives, but ...

... Well, who is he kidding? Maud's always been his favorite for a reason.]

It's getting late though. I should let you go.

[drugdeals]

Have me as long as you want, but, I guess I shouldn't neglect my family goodbyes.

[That does make him smile, but he can feel himself dropping off and doesn't want to be that guy falling asleep on him.]

Let me know when you get back to New York and we'll grab that drink.

[And with that, he will set his phone to the side and put himself to bed.]
