Animal Instincts II

It was really great chatting with you, Claire.

But I have to wrap it up. I have... Oh, Thanksgiving!

Have you figured if you can come home yet?

- I don't know if I can afford it. - Oh no!

You know, I'd like to. I really would.

It just depends if I can get enough hours.

And the longer I wait...

- The more expensive the flight. - Exactly.

So... It doesn't look like it will be happening any time soon.

Sorry, love. I really have to go. But it will all work out.

If we don't do Friendsgiving, then...

We'll figure out for Christmas or New Year's.

- I'll let you know. Later, skater. - OK. Bye, love.

- Hey... - Hey how is going?

Good. Where's my coffee?

You said you didn't want one.

Just kidding.

Who were you talking to? Were you video-chatting?

Uh... Claire.

Cool...

Is that weird for you?

Yes.

But what's actually more freaky and coincidental

is that I was just talking to Kenny coincidentally. Online.

Right before coming here.

- Coincidentally. - That's cool.

So, it seems like there's this...

elephant in the room.

More like, two elephants. One named Kenny and one named Claire.

Yeah I meant to ask you about him a while back, actually.

- Yeah, it's weird. - So, how is he?

He's good. I mean I don't really see him all that much anymore.

Actually, you know, I don't really see him at all anymore.

And we weren't really chatting.

I had "liked" a picture he posted

and it was a really stupid picture.

What?

It's just like sad to say but I'm not surprised.

That is very interesting.

So... why did the two of you break up? I mean,

Kenny just said that you guys drifted apart.

- But what was it really? - That's it.

We just drifted.

OK, you drifted. But why did you drift?

Why did the two of two drift?

Ah OK! So it's the same reason, more or less.

More or less. I mean it wasn't the central reason. But...

- I mean, he does partake an awful lot. - To put it midly.

- Ugh! And rarely was it mild. - Uhm... No!

I mean, I don't think it is a bad thing.

- I mean, actually we should legalize it. - Oh yeah, tax the heck out of it!

But I mean it's not just for me.

Oh same. But I don't even mind being around it.

Yeah. But...

it's strange how neither of us are... friends with him anymore.

Well, there is that fact that

he can't put down the game controller long enough to...

- ... Shower. - Oh no! Not around you!

- Come on, Kenny! - Yeah. I mean, nothing happened really.

It was that he wanted to spend more...

That he... cared less about me.

And just kind of drifted apart.

I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't even notice.

It was the most undramatic break-up ever.

Well, take it from me, those can be the best kind.

I'm sure.

Oh my god! I'm sorry! I mean...

Hey! At least, I'm efficient. I managed to do two break-ups at the same time.

Yay me!

You shouldn't be so hard on yourself.

I'm... I'm fine with it now, actually.

And Claire, she was really hard on herself too.
