Sunday: September/8/19 - AIM: Lyle/Maggie ((ooc: this is BEFORE she starts crushing on him))
Maggie: Why do I SUCK at math? STILL!? Lyle: Um.... because some people are right brained and it doesn't click for them? Maggie: So I should blame my dad. Maggie: Genetics. Lyle: Most people aren't math people Maggie: He's terrible at math too. Lyle: Well, we all carry calculators around nowadays Maggie: I know, but it's still hard. And a calculator isn't all that helpful when I don't even know where to start. Like with chemistry. Lyle: Chemistry is pretty tough, I'll admit. That's why I don't teach it Lyle: ^_^ Maggie: There's so much algebra in it! Lyle: I know Maggie: Will you still be my tutor? Lyle: Sure, if you need it Maggie: I think I do. Lyle: Okay cool. Wanna come do dinner? Nico's busy tonight with plants Maggie: LOL! Dinner? Neither of us eat. Lyle: Vampire dinner Lyle: I'll serve it in wine goblets like fancy people Maggie: Ooh, how snooty! Lyle: Quite quite. I'll wear a monocle Maggie: Should I wear a ball gown? Lyle: If you have one Maggie: I do! If only I had some glass slippers. Lyle: Ouch Maggie: Beauty requires some pain. Lyle: That's ridiculous. Women are the most beautiful when they first wake up, that requires no pain Maggie: I guess. Lyle: I just don't understand the lengths girls go to when they look so nice naturally Maggie: So, math. Lyle: What is it you need to know, exactly? Maggie: Everything? Lyle: You did graduate, didn't you/ Maggie: Yeah, but you know my math grades were barely passing. Lyle: I'll do what I can for you Maggie: I really wanna make it into med school. Lyle: Okay, Mags. I'll try. Maggie: I mean, I know it's a stupid goal, because of the vampire thing, but I want to. Lyle: It's not stupid. Hope is a vampire, and she did a lot of really great medical things. It's possible. Maggie: Yeah, but she looks like an adult. Lyle: So? Maggie: And she graduated and all that before being turned. Lyle: Just because you look young doesn't mean you can't do great things. We've had vampires here before who looked young. Maggie: People still treat me like a kid. Lyle: Sometimes you act like a kid, Mags. Maggie: Plenty of adults do. Maggie: All the time. Lyle: Yeah they do. And a lot of those people aren't taken seriously Maggie: I don't want to be one of those grumpy, overly serious adults. Lyle: You don't have to be. But you can't use the way you look to dictate the rest of your life. I mean, I'm going to look twenty forever, and most people don't take twenty year olds seriously. But that doesn't mean I'm going to stop doing what I want Maggie: You're here. It's different here. Lyle: Yeah, it is. The real world will probably suck. Maggie: It's harder. Lyle: Yeah. That's why I'm here for now Maggie: Do you think you'll stay long term? Lyle: I dunno. It depends on what Nico wants to do Maggie: What about what you wanna do? Lyle: I'm already doing what I wanna do. Well... almost. Maggie: Almost? Lyle: I want kids Maggie: Me too. Lyle: Some day we'll adopt. I see so many kids here who grew up in shitty foster homes with no one understanding their abilities. I wanna be able to prevent that Maggie: That would be nice. Lyle: Maybe I should start a foster home Maggie: That would be really cool. Lyle: I talked about it once, a long time ago, but then... I guess life happened. Plus Nico doesn't like kids so Maggie: He doesn't like kids? Maggie: How can you not like kids? Lyle: I could see how someone could not like kids. They're noisy and messy and he's a very private and fastidious kind of guy. Maggie: So, how's that gonna work with you two? Lyle: I don't know yet. So far it's fine. Maggie: Until it isn't. Lyle: We'll deal with it when it gets there Maggie: I hope it works out. Lyle: I think I can wear him down someday. Maggie: Good luck. Lyle: Thanks.
