text; un: riftdancer; after varian's birthday

[thavnairian]

so

how do you feel about kids?

[There is probably a story behind this but meanwhile this sure is the text of all time.]

[crystallinememories]

[rtyuiop;'sagfuen

had amal bothered to add literally any context, he might have gotten a response in fewer than ten minutes

but he didn't, so let raha get his flustered bafflement out for a minute.]

generally positive?

is there a specific circumstance you're asking for?

[not sure he's ready to be a nunh!!!!]

[thavnairian]

varian said i'm the closest thing he has to a parent in this place

and

he said he loved me a lot

you should've seen me raha i was sobbing in the old navy like a good old fashioned hannish downpour. the cashier asked me if i got dumped

i think we're only ten years apart, but .... i think i want to become his legal guardian and make it official when this is over

[crystallinememories]

[awwww.

any panic vanishes and raha can't help by smile. it still takes him a moment to compose an answer, trying to figure out how to be as reassuring as possible.]

you don't need my permission to do that.

but of course i'll support you in any way you need.

he's lucky to have you.

[thavnairian]

[Of course he'd say something like that. But even Amal, as dumb as he is, knows that what affects one of them affects both of them.]

awww raha....

thank you so much. your opinion means a lot to me

i'm not sure what i need to do besides a lot of paperwork. i guess you could help me with that???? i'm not very organized when it comes to stuff like this..... as you've probably noticed

i still need to ask varian about it but i'm sure he'll say yes

[crystallinememories]

i can definitely help with that.

[and... also possibly with finding ways around the background checks that that is sure to come with. though given varian also isn't from here... either way, they'll work it out.]

i'm sure he will. does he need anything to be comfortable here more permanently?

[thavnairian]

[Amal's ID says he's from Canada. Thankfully he hasn't tried driving despite it being a drivers license. Just what was Zodiac thinking with that one, he'll never know.]

i already bought him and fern some more clothes

but i think varian would be happiest if he had a place to build stuff

we have that shed we're not doing anything with, what do you think about converting that into a safe place for him to do stuff? we can put wards on it so it doesn't make noise or catch on fire, that sort of thing

[crystallinememories]

I should be able to manage those kind of wards. Though the fire one may need refreshing more frequently

[because boy oh boy would varian put that one to the test.]

[thavnairian]

[Amal laughs to himself. YEP]

to put it mildly

still better that than blowing up another apartment

if you need reagents for that i can get them. we'll need equipment too but i'm sure he knows what he needs better than i do

that's assuming he says yes to all this but...... well fingers crossed
