Kaz's School for Entrepreneurial Youths.

It would be kind of a weird thing for you to be thinking about, to be honest.

Someone needs to teach kids the important lessons in life. Though I want to also hand them back afterwards.

And while I do have many weird thoughts, human slushie flavors is not one of them.

Don't make it a boarding school, then. Take 'em in for half the day and then send them out into the world to scam for homework.

Good, I think I'd worry. And just in case you do get to wondering, the taste is blood. All the tastes are blood.

That sounds much more feasible than being left in charge of tiny people. Plus, scamming for homework sounds more useful than actual homework.

I mean, I've tasted my own blood and haven't been impressed, so I don't think I'll get the urge anytime soon. Good to know though, I do hate having questions lingering. It's like an itch in the brain.

Tiny people are many handfuls, or so I hear. You'd really be preparing them for their futures compared to learning geometry and popularity.

Well, I'm glad I could help you metaphorically scratch that one.

I've heard the same, and I'm good not confirming it myself anytime soon if ever. And I do think people could benefit from more alternative schooling. Especially the pipeline you told me you had.

Indeed, you were better than an online search. Nobody really wants to type 'how does blood taste different' into their search engines. Though Google has certainly seen worse.

You'd be a real pillar of the community with your name on the building. Might damage some of your other business ventures, though.

I think they put you on lists for that kind of thing, and I'm sure you're already on plenty.

I do care more about my ventures than my name on a building.

See? Why would I need my name in neon when I'm already so watch-worthy.

I figured you would. Though you could always put someone else's name on it. Let them deal with parents and school boards and angry scam-ees.

I'm certainly watching you. What more audience do you need?

I think I'll just streamline and teach off the books. If I'm going to have a patsy anywhere, it'll be on the Merchant's Council.

Your attention is one of the few I don't mind.

That is certainly the best place for a patsy.

Good. Because I do find it hard to look away sometimes.

Feels like holding a spotlight's attention. Not in a bad way. You've just got a bright energy.

It's nice.

You make me sound warm. That's pretty nice, too. I figure you could use some of that.

Does it ever make you uncomfortable?

You do feel warm, even without touching.

Sometimes.

[There's a long pause.] But it also makes me think on what the touching would be like.

[ She's almost discouraged by that 'sometimes' before the next message comes through. ]

We could try the touching, if you want.

Can't say I haven't thought about it myself.

If you don't mind that it might not be entirely enjoyable for me at first. It isn't personal. But not everyone would want to experience that, I imagine.

[The desire is intermingled with the disgust, and unpacking that phobia isn't something he'd want to share with anyone without fair warning.]

No, I don't figure that's on many people's bucket lists, but I don't mind it. There are far worse things I could spend my time on than holding your hand.

[ Birdie appreciates the warning, but she'd figured as much already, and she's got the time to move slowly and the motivation to start with him in the first place. ]

Maybe tonight then after your performances and my meetings, we could try it.

I can manage that.

Your office, or the basement?

I do want to see what you've done to the basement. Can't hurt to try, maybe a change of venue isn't the worst idea.

True. And I'd hate to put you in a position to think of me too much when you're busy working.

[ ooc: Do you want to jump ahead on this one or hop to a new thread? ]

[OOC: Let's hop to a new thread! I feel a touching scene deserves it. :D Looking forward to it. No prefs on who starts, I don't mind.]

[ ooc: I am deeply unfortunately still at work BUT I have an idea and will put something up for you when I get home. Hopefully soon. ]

[OOC: Absolutely zero rush, get to it when you can! I hope the rest of your work day isn't too rough. <3]

[ ooc: here we go! ]
