Your parents sound so sweet.

[abnormalizes]

They are. I know how lucky I am.

[hometown]

What do you think they'd say to the new boyfriend? Or girlfriends?

I've heard of this thing called a "shovel talk"...

[abnormalizes]

That's the one where you threaten to kill the person if they ever break so-and-so's heart, right?

Yeah I don't think that would happen. My parents have training with weapons but they wouldn't stand a chance in a fight with any of them and they'd know it.

[hometown]

The sentiment could still be important!

[abnormalizes]

My parents are from the City. They know better than to mouth off to someone who could crush them. Not that anyone I'm dating would, but the danger's still there.

I think they'd ask a lot of questions like how we met and stuff.

[hometown]

Sorry, I didn't mean to make light of it.

I hope you get a chance to introduce them sometime soon.

[abnormalizes]

I hope so too. And to my other friends, they'd be happy I had friends in general.

[hometown]

You didn't have much chance to make them before, huh?

[abnormalizes]

I mean, I had chances, but the friends I made kept dying? So I just sort of... stopped.

[hometown]

I think I would've done the same thing.

[ He fell apart after just one death. ]

[abnormalizes]

Here's been better.

I'd definitely want to introduce them to you.

[hometown]

I'd love to meet them. But it would also be kinda intimidating.

[abnormalizes]

Intimidating, really? I'm pretty sure you could bench press both of them.

[hometown]

I mean emotionally intimidating. I'd wanna make a good impression.

[abnormalizes]

That makes more sense, but to be honest, they’d just be happy I had friends at all. The bar is nonexistent.

[hometown]

That helps with the intimidation factor.

[ But he'd still want to make a good impression! ]

[abnormalizes]

Even if they did have higher standards, you'd have nothing to worry about. You're great.

[hometown]

Thanks. You're great, too.

[ Even if his mom might not agree. ]

[abnormalizes]

[Reiner’s mom has shit opinions and Evangeline would actively feel worse if she impressed her.]

Doing my best! And working on that ‘accepting compliments’ thing.
