[ 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. ]

[ signs next to his cartoon-self, making a grand show of it. nods down at the paper. ]

It is complete. [ turns to nick. ] Do you want to keep it, or should I?

[ stares down at it for a moment, then shrugs. ]

It comes into effect when I move so I'll keep it.

[ holds the contract up, winking once. ]

As you wish, sir.

[ shakes his head & takes it. ]

Make a note to yourself about this. [ because he might forget. ]

[ nods, quickly scribbling a note in his sketchbook before shutting it. props his elbows onto the table, placing his chin into his palms. ]

So, how does it feel to be bound to me for at least another three or four years?

[ shrugs while staring down at the paper, wondering where he could put it. ]

Not as stifling as I'd feared.

[ sinks down a little in his seat at nick's words, arms and chin now flat against the table. ]

Drats. I would have made such a good antagonist, too...

[ glances over at the oven & then back at lyssa. ]

Nah. Maybe a sidekick.

[ looks even sadder at the prospect of not being a main character. ]

A sidekick? That's it?

[ reaches over to give him a flick. ]

Sidekicks can become more popular than the protagonists.

[ as usual he makes a face at the flick, even if he's used to it by now. after he recovers: ]

What does that make you, then?

[ gives the table a tap as he thinks. ]

A reoccurring character?

[ swings his legs around a bit underneath the table, fiddling around with his pencil. ]

The Bagel Man.

[ stares for a moment. then shakes his head. ]

Appears just to sell bagels?

And to give the sidekick a hug!

Hmm. [ purposeful pause. ] Only when plot allows.

[ pops open his sketchbook again to the page where he wrote the reminder, scribbling some doodles. ]

Probably at the end of season one.

Which is how many episodes?

Twenty-four, of course. With bonus episodes in the mix, too.

The holiday specials?

Yep! [ sits up fully again, counting off on his fingers. ] Birthday specials, Halloween specials, Thanksgiving specials... and the big Christmas one!

[ leans his chin against a palm. ]

Must be a popular series with all those extras.

When you have amazing characters like us? You'd better believe it. [ stands from his spot, wandering over to the oven to fiddle with things again. ] Airs every Tuesday and Thursday from eight pm to nine.

[ whistles in appreciation. ]

Huh. Maybe I should go acting full-time then.

My mom could probably get you a job.
