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.]
