[ it's after his meet-up with his supervisor that he gets a call from robin to babysit alice. of course he says 'yes' -- he has nothing planned for the day & would never consciously turn down time with his niece. & like he told robin before, more free air should do him some good; who knows, if he's feeling better in mind, the body might follow. (he didn't really believe that since the damage from the accident has been said to be absolute, but a little bit of feigned hope wasn't too heavy to carry around.)

that's the context to their current scenario: at the park with alice, doing whatever she wants until it's time for lunch & ice cream. time with uncle nick is the time to get spoiled, so he doesn't worry too much about feeding her nutritional things; he's pretty sure his mom sis has that covered anyway. ]

[ there's a pause on his end too, observing nick for a moment. finally smiles again. ]

Do you have any tea?

[ huffs, making a show of getting up and shuffling on over. ]

But I'm the guest...

[ joins him, leaning back on the counter while nudging one of nick's calves gently with his toes. ]

What am I now, then?

[ turns around finally to grab himself a mug, poking his head into the cabinet to try and find the teabags. ]

Well, we should figure that out, then. [ lifts a finger, arm up in the air. ] Like adults!

[ turns around when he finds what he wants, hiding his mouth behind the mug. ]

Because I'm an adult now too...

Says the one with orange juice. [ thinks briefly on where he'd find the kettle, grabbing it when he locates it to fill it with water. after putting it on the burner, he turns to nick again. ] Do you have any expectations?

[ his answer is simple and instant: ]

Yes.

[ tilts his head to the side. ]

That's all that you want?

[ leans back on the counter again, nodding. ]

Okay. If that's your stipulation for having me over, then I will stick to it.

[ reaches a hand out, even as he (jokingly) says: ]

Not afraid that I'll jump you?

[ releases the hand, unwrapping the teabag from its packaging to drop it into the mug. ]

You never know, I could get fat by not getting any of my routine "exercise". It'll make it quite difficult for you to overpower me.

Your argument is invalid. It's already impossible.
