Is Bigby your friend?

[pneumo]

Um....I think so. He hasn't said we are yet, but the pretty lady with blonde hair said we don't need to say it out loud to be friends. I hope we are... [ he would like that very much if Bigby would be his friend who is also a boy. yes. ]

Oh--and the money was for the pictures of the gorgeous women! [ the Atroma....he thinks they're hot ladies. ]

[winn]

[ oh god sascha. please tell him you didn't just tell them about buying porn. this is not the conversation he wanted them to have in front of kara (or ever). ]

Sascha...[ gently. how does he phrase this? ] Who are these women and -- do they know about the pictures? [ he is not ready to dad, why are you putting him in this position? he thought you liked him! ]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ winn, this is your problem. she's going to sit back and see how this plays out ]

[pneumo]

[ He DOES like you! That's why you're in this position :D Welcome to father-friendhood, population: why this. ]

Um...I don't know if she knows! But Nami said that it was one of the gorgeous women that kidnapped us here for TV, so now I can prove that they're pretty. [ THE ACTUAL STORY: Sascha misinterpreted something Allen said, thought the Atroma were all gorgeous ladies and went around telling people this. When asked for proof? he found Nami who sold him a picture of the host Diamond for a tiny sum PLUS INTEREST. Said interest he recently just paid back to Nami in full and now HERE WE ARE. ]

[winn]

[ ok - this is sounding a lot better than what he feared. but how would this nami person get pictures of the atroma? ]

You mean you have actual pictures of the Atroma? How did - Nami get them?

[ and why aren't they common knowledge? -- wait. ]

Are they -- of the woman who was on the network? [ because in that case 1. he doesn't trust that that's the atroma's true form and 2. sascha you just got ripped off. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

He seems happy with the transaction, Winn...[ so don't ruin his fun ]

[pneumo]

I dunno if she was...why? [ YEAH WINN, don't ruin this for him. Why u gotta be a debbie downer ]

[winn]

[ alright alright. he'll ruin it later. ]

Never mind.

[ here, he'll pat your back, sascha, doesn't that make you forget all about it? ]

[takingkarabusiness]

But it is important not to give all your money away.

[pneumo]

How come?? [ He doesn't use it for anything currently ]

[winn]

Because you might need it for something somewhere down the line.

[ says the guy spending his own funds on his projects for his friends and refusing any payment. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Maybe for special presents for friends or something for yourself.

[pneumo]

.........

I've never given anyone a present before.

[winn]

It's fun -- we can make something together for Kitty, if you wanna try. Or, [ he's trying here, he really is, appreciate his effort sascha! ] for Bigby.

[takingkarabusiness]

That's a great idea, Winn.

[pneumo]

[ WINN♥ He's so proud, or you know. Happy. That's the same thing right?? He's perking up so hard. ]

Can we do that for both of them??

[winn]

Sure, yeah, just pick one to start with and when we're done we'll do the other.

[ and then they can make something for kara too :3 ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Do you know what a gift is, Sascha?

[pneumo]

That's a thing you give to someone else, right? Like a toy? [ Or the rubber ball Bigby gave him to chew on when he was teething... ]

[winn]

Yeah, for example. It can be anything you think they'd like, though. Like - [ he can barely make out where the paper is, but he knows where it hangs and that both sascha and kara will probably know what he's referring to, so he points to the drawing of kara's sister on her wall that he had commissioned for her ]

I gave this to Kara. And Kitty gave us snacks.

[takingkarabusiness]

It's a drawing of my sister.

[pneumo]

You have a sister?? [ Sascha's eyes brighten. ] Whoaaa...you're sooo lucky!

[ Because if Sascha had been human and had them, they're all long-dead by now. ]

[winn]

[ winn echoes that sentiment; how different his life would have been if he'd have gone through it with a loving, protective sibling.

he can be that for sascha now, though. he's leaving this one to kara to talk about. he did after all, introduce them so they could get to know each other. ]

[takingkarabusiness]

Thanks. We don't have the same parents, but her family took care of me, and now we're sisters.
