"Do you write music?"

[hold_infinity]

"Yeah, some."

[pandion]

"Oooh, can I hear some sometime?"

[hold_infinity]

"All right."

[pandion]

"Cool! When's a good time? Maybe this weekend?"

[hold_infinity]

"Perfect. Sunday?"

[pandion]

"Sure. You can show me your music and we can braid each other's hair and make a whole day of it."

[hold_infinity]

Robin laughs. "Sounds like fun."

[pandion]

"You have great hair."

[hold_infinity]

"You say that, but you've never tried braiding it."

[pandion]

"I bet I can if I try hard and believe in myself and comb lots of water into it."

[hold_infinity]

She giggles.

[pandion]

"My hair is mostly pretty well behaved but it does slide out of ties like it's got a mind of its own."

[hold_infinity]

"Mine would rather eat them," says Robin.

[pandion]

"Delicious hairties! Braid in some licorice for dessert!"

[hold_infinity]

She giggles.

Renée's car pulls up to the sidewalk where they're waiting. "Hi! Did you guys have a good time?"

[hold_infinity]

"Yeah!" says Robin.

[pandion]

"It was pretty good! Let's not go to any magic Chinese restaurants though, okay, Mom?"

[kindestgarden]

"All right. We'll steer well clear. Buckle up, ladies!" And when the girls have buckled up she pulls onto the road. "Robin, you coming back with us or do you want me to drop you off?"

[hold_infinity]

"Oh, I dunno," says Robin. "I wouldn't want to intrude or anything."

[kindestgarden]

"It's no trouble! But if you'd rather go home you have to tell me where to go."

[hold_infinity]

"Oh... I should probably go home," she sighs. "Mother might decide to care."

She provides an address.

[kindestgarden]

"All right then." Renée changes lanes to aim at the correct street.

[pandion]

"So on Sunday should I come to yours or what? Seems like it might be hard to move a guitar without... vague musical instrument misfortunes happening?"
