Darla looked them over as she chuckled to Wisterias child-like fight with Silas as she approached them "Fighting now babies who cant fight back Wisteria?" she said playfully "Is Aster next?" she asked with a harmless smile before glancing over Silas as she chuckled softly giving a soft pet over the head "What a cute pup you are..." she said to Silas before turning to north "He is super young, cant even talk yet..." she murmured "He seems too young to be away from parents...i hope he wasn't ripped away from them wherever they got him for you..." she remarked lightly
✧ The tiny ghost loudly huffed, she seemed to take offence from Darla's comment. Of course, she'd never hurt her own family! The fox wasn't her family so he didn't count, obviously. She dramatically crossed her arms before turning away angrily, she paid no attention to her as she approached Silas.
✧ Silas swatted at the older Zorua's tail before chasing it around in an attempt to playfully nip it, seems he found something new to play with. North, however, seemed more focused on Darla's question, she didn't even think to tell him anything.
✧ North looked a bit confused about what she was saying, rather than truly understanding she just was repeating something she was told. She paused thinking for a long moment before worry began to show in her expression.
North: ...Did I do something bad?
✧ She asked confused, her voice suddenly sounded shrill, almost cracking as she spoke. Her worry quickly shifted into guilt and panic upon finally realizing what Darla meant.
North: Is he too young?
North: I don't want him to miss his mom!! I don't want them to take him away either! Mom already said, If I didn't take care of him she would take him back! But- I love Silas lots I don't want him to leave!
✧ North couldn't stop herself from nervously rambling on in a panic. When she finally seemed to stop she just fell silent.
-> North appears to be suddenly lost for words.

How do you define living, john? what classifies something as "alive."
I don't know. I wouldn't. I'm not a biologist.

"Dude," Steve says, pressing on his eyes because he feels like he's about to cry. "What the fuck."
"What?" Dustin squeaks, alarmed. "What? Steve, you're freaking me out!"
"Good!" Because Steve just worked eighteen hours and it's past midnight and he got thrown up on twice and there was a bed pan incident and even though he showered at the hospital he probably smells awful and it rained and he lost his keys so he had to take the bus and he's sweaty and tired and wet and cold and Dustin's DnD friend is hot. "I can't believe you'd do this to me!" Okay, maybe Steve's feeling a little delirious.
"Do what??" Dustin is full on shrieking right now. His hot friend is standing in their apartment looking more and more worried and hot.
"You didn't tell me he was hot!"
The expressions that go across Dustin's face is impressive, before they stop and he settles on a flat glare. "Seriously??"
Hot guy is now blushing and Steve will collapse if he doesn't keep with the righteous fury.
"I've been TRYING to get you two to meet for months now!"
"You didn't tell me he was hot, though! Dustin!!"
"I don't know what guys are hot, Steve!" Dustin says indignantly. "I thought you didn't like nerds!"
"Dustin!"
"Um," says hot guy. He looks like he's panicking.
Dustin's face changes again. "Oh, no. Oh, no, you're right."
"All this time!" Steve says and he really is close to tears. "You've been nagging on me all this time to find my soulmate, and you had the perfect guy right here?? You had him in my home??? Dustin!"
"Whoa," whispers hot guy.
"I'm sorry," Dustin wails now, just as distraught. "You love nerds, all your favorite people are nerds, I don't know what I was thinking, oh my god!" He whirls on hot guy. "Eddie, give Steve your number right now!"
"Okay," says hot guy Eddie, immediately. His face is super red and his eyes are wide, and he looks scared out of his mind as he fumbles his pocket for his phone. "Yeah-Yep-Absolutely. This is a thing that's happening."
Steve, tears burning in his eyes, watches as Dustin punches his number into Eddie's phone. "Okay," he says a little nasally, wiping quickly at his face. "Okay, I'm going to shower and then sleep for two days, and then pretend like this never happened so I can look hot guy in the eye when he asks me on a date. Sound good?"
"Sounds great!" Dustin says, all cheery now. Behind him, still looking vaguely scared for his life, hot guy gives him a shaky thumbs up.

one day you’ll yearn for the person you are now, to tell them, "hey, look, it turned out to be okay" and "i’m so grateful you’ve held on" and "things just worked out somehow". you’ll want to hold their hand and give them the wisdom that the future is actually better, and you know it because you’re living it. but you can’t reach through time like that. the only way to bridge the gap between the you of today and the you who’s doing better, is to hold onto the hope that they exist.
